The methodology is divided into two parts. In the first, the students will expose (individually or in groups of three, according to the number of registered students) academic readings about the Franco regime and the democratic transition. These articles relate to different historical moments of the dictatorship of General Franco, with repression, seizure of goods, the role of social movements as catalysts of change towards democracy, among others.The second part consists in the formation of \"political parties\" and, from the previous exhibitions as \"assumptions in fact\", in the drafting of a historic memory bill proposing solutions to the aspects examined, with total freedom in the content of the proposition. In addition, political parties must also have their own electoral program. This activity also introduces elements of legislative technique that are not studied in the Degrees of Law or Labor Relations. The creation of political parties allows the students to develop mechanisms for managing discrepancies in order to reach a consensus on a common position. The presentation of the bills by the political parties and subsequent evaluation has been carried out by the students themselves. The students themselves voted for the proposal that they liked most. Voting must be numerical (0-10) and justified, where only one valuation number can be assigned to each one of the proposals (for example, two proposals can not be voted with a 9), and the vote of the proposal presented by its own party. The most voted proposal for the students is the one whose candidates have obtained the best qualification.The professors will give sessions related to the historical-legal facts of the Franco regime and the Transition, will introduce the readings, detail the most important concepts of legislative technique and the theoretical and practical aspects of transitional justice.

The students are advised to follow the continuous evaluation with class attendance (minimum of 80%) and carry out the activities programmed during the course (oral presentations in the classroom, readings, conferences, creation of political parties , etc.). An examination is scheduled as a reassessment for students who do not pass the continuous assessment.Students will have to present in the class an article on a specific theme of the syllabus, which will be assigned during the first class days. A group of two / three students will have to read this same article and have to ask questions to the students who orally present the article. Both the oral presentation and the questions asked by the group of students will be evaluated.The students will have to group by groups and create a political party (writing of statutes, electoral program, etc.) with which it will have to write up a proposal of law that improves or solves a problem of transitional justice within the present one legal order of the Spanish State.
Single Assessment: there will be a written exam on questions to be developed on ALL the readings presented in class. The student who chooses this option will know from the beginning of the course which readings will be included in the exam.
