At the beginning of the term a list of topics will be given out so that the students can choose a topic on which to prepare a written essay and an oral presentation. The lecturer will then suggest both bibliographical and digital references which could help the students with their work.

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
