10 Knowledge evaluation Assistance to class (80% at least) is required to be evaluated. The evaluation of the student is divided in two compulsory parts: 1) A presentation in class of one article in small groups. 2) A homework consisting in applying the knowledge acquired in class to a theme chosen by the student. For example, if I like health, Fernando will give me 2 or 3 papers of health and growth. Then, I will read them, write the strong and weak points of the papers and, finally, I will propose a new idea and try to model it.
