METODOLOGÍA DEL CURSO. Both the whole course documentation and the monitoring of the tutorials along with the final exam will be conducted in English. The level required is Advanced. This web-based course will be implemented entirely via the Internet with a flexible, asynchronous schedule. There will be weekly discussions and 3 written assignments. This course is designed to optimize discussion and community so that everyone can bootstrap on each other's knowledge, learning, and analytical abilities. This course will centre upon regular readings and discussions of the readings, as well as discussions of assigned examples of CI. Discussions of readings are staggered so that they occur during the week following the week the readings are assigned. This will give everyone a full week to engage with the readings and prepare to discuss them.
