The teaching of the present subject will be divided into theoretical classes and practical classes. The former will consist on discursive teaching supported by visual tools, which permit to understand material and conceptual aspects. The latter will consist on the contextualisation and analyses of ancient Egyptian texts, which will be complementary to the theoretical analysis.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
The evaluation of the subject is based on the theoretical examination and the daily work with the texts. In addition the student will have the possibility to work in a personal essay, whose topic will be chosen with the professor's help.
