Second Term Contents (8ºPEI August Group)

In this page a detailed account of the classes is given to all the students of this course. The main objective of this page is to have an overview of the classes and materials that we are going to be using during the semester. Some of the links we are going to be using are on the left panel under the section "External Links". I recommend you to check them in order to get familiarised, specially Schoology for all your marks, attendance or assignments, and the Teacher's Web Page in case you need to contact me.

All the information presented in this page might be modified during the semester to add or remove content according to what the each group needs. As a teacher, I understand that some of the contents must not be suitable for all the groups, and the discussion arisen can vary from one group to another. As a result, I am open to add, omit or remove content according to what we need during the course. However, it is important to mention that the evaluations are not likely to be removed or changed.

Below, you will find a table content for an easier navigation to jump to the different classes we are going to be having. Each class has its own resources, so it important for you keep track of all them, specially the reading materials which are mandatory. However, there are further resources which are not necessary to check, but I recommend you to read/watch them, as they are not always academic readings, but articles or videos that try to make you understand the main objective of each class.
