Assessment

The evaluation of the subject will have two different parts:

A. Practices: 70% of the mark divided in two evaluation activities: The continuous evaluation I (30% of the mark with a minimum of three evaluable practices) and the continuous evaluation II (40% of the mark with minimum of four evaluable practices).

B. Participation in seminars and activities of the course: 30% of the grade.

 

A. Laboratory practices:

The course aims at the practical application of multimedia journalistic competences and the set of organizational routines, aimed at the production of journalistic products in a context of multiplatform journalistic production.

The practices will consist of a professional simulation in a real environment starting from the creation of a multiplatform journalistic media that works in a real way. Students will prepare journalistic products in any media and adopt different professional roles.

Every week there will be an activity in the media created that will be related to the news: newsmaking/reporting/interviewing/writing chronicles/debates/participation in UAB Campus Mèdia/development of social media, etc. Also during the different weeks the students will have to assume a professional role: editor, director, cover leader, section head, editor, data verifier, style editor, community manager, etc. The final grade of part A of the subject (practices) will consist of the simple arithmetic average of the total of the practices carried out, and will make up 70% of the final grade of the subject.

The subject, according to the academic calendar, is scheduled to perform at least 7 practices to be developed between sessions 3 and 16 of the course calendar. Its full development will depend on the academic normality of the semester.

All the laboratory practices carried out are evaluable.

Thus, each of the practices, in case of being 7, will have a specific weight (within section A of the subject) of 10%.

In the event that, for extra-academic reasons (strikes, atmospheric problems, unexpected closures, etc.) the sessions are affected and, therefore, the minimum number of laboratory practices, the same evaluation procedure will be maintained: the qualification The end of part A of the subject will be the arithmetic average of the total of the practices carried out.

During each practice, four specific and differentiated activities will be evaluated:

Production and management of the multimedia space of the created media, including social networks
Production of the radio program associated with the medium.
Production of the audiovisual program associated with the medium.

Production in the media laboratory

 

In this way, the practices will contain four different types of evaluation, which include individual performance (evaluation in the different professional profiles) and group performance (final result of the practice) of the students participating in the practice.

In order to pass this part of the subject, the maximum number of suspended or not presented practices (without excused excuse) is 3.

 

B. Participation in seminars and course activities:

To deepen in all the practical aspects, the subject will also develop at least two sessions in which other activities will be carried out other than the production of contents in which cases of good practices will be explained or in which specialized conferences will take place.

The student must attend these specific sessions on a mandatory basis. The teaching team will commission a journalistic exercise (interview, press conference, chronicle, opinion article, news, etc.) to the students to guarantee the active participation of them in the programmed sessions.

The attendance to these sessions and the realization of the journalistic exercise, will mean 10% of the final grade of the subject. In each of the sessions, a specificjournalistic exercise will be commissioned. The final grade of part B of the subject (participation in seminars and activities the course) will consist of the simple arithmetic average of the total of the journalistic exercises carried out.

Students who do not attend in person the scheduled sessions within section B of the subject, may not perform the journalistic exercises programmed by the teaching team.

 

Final note:

The final grade of the subject will be the sum between section A and section B explained above.

A minimum grade is not necessary in each part of the subject to calculate the final grade.

 

Submit and review of qualifications:

The teaching team will inform the students of their qualifications of their practices within a maximum period of one week (both in section A, as in section B). Thus, for example, if the practice is done in session 3, the grades obtained in that practice will be informed, in the afternoon, before the start of session 4.

The teaching team will provide, weekly, a feedback of practical activities orally and in groups. All reported grades can be reviewed.

The student must state to the teaching team his intention to review the grade in that session and the professors, in that same session, must attend the requested revision to finalize the process.

 

REVALUATION: 

In the last three weeks of the course, students who have not passed part A of the course (laboratory practices) may take a re-evaluation synthesis test. The compulsory condition to qualify for the revaluation of the subject is to have done, at least, 2/3 of the total of the practices of the course and have obtained an average grade equal to or greater than 3.5 (and less than 5) in the set of practical work done by the student for part A of the subject during the course.

Part B of the subject, being activities that take place in a specific session, and in person, can not be re-evaluated or recovered.

 

According to the criteria indicated above, if a student does not perform at least 66% of the laboratory practices will be considered asnon-evaluable of this subject.
