Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The syllabus addresses the major themes in the history of the 18th to the 21st centuries, and the journalism practiced in the same period. The use of specialized literature, the press and other sources for study the period suggests that there are multiple sources for the construction of historical realities, which may lead to different interpretations.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The teaching methodology is based on theoretical lectures, practical classes for query, analysis and interpretation of sources and in lectures with invited experts in the topics covered. Students’ evaluation is continuous and the final classification will result of weighting the partial classifications of two tests and the results of each student's personal work, materialized in research and in the presentation of researches’ results in the classroom.In the MTH teaching unit, the grade can be increased by carrying out practical work. The failure in continuous evaluation automatically sends the students to the final exam.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Being a course of nature fundamentally theoretical-practice, lectures, supplemented with research presentation of case studies, search carried out by each student and materialized in conducting and presenting research papers is pedagogically orthodox because it has been, over time, well- successful. Testing continues to be the most relevant instrument for assessing the knowledge and skills of students when theoretical content and the ability of analysis and interpretation of sources is on the table.
