Methodology
The acquisition of knowledge will be done through various methodological procedures that include different types of activities, grouped in lectures, seminars and practices in radio and television laboratories.
In the theoretical sessions, the contents of the program will be presented, thus providing the necessary elements to carry out the practical exercises in the laboratories. As for the practices, they will serve to apply to real cases what has been learned in the theoretical sessions. The seminars will encourage analysis, debate and critical reflection on examples and current news programs related to the contents of the course.
The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.

Assessment
The acquisition of skills and knowledges through the course will be assesed through different activities:
- Theoretical test (25%),
- Laboratory practices (40%), and
- Works delivered and involvement during seminars (35%).
The final grade will be the sum of the score obtained. It is essential to take the three parts corresponding to the evaluation tests in order to pass the course.
The weighting of the three evaluable parts will be done, even if one of them is failed.
But the weighting will not be done if two are failed. As a result, the course will not be approve.
The grading system of this course corresponds to continuous assessment.
OPTIONAL REVALUATION PROCESS:
Students will be entitled to make up the course if the weight of all the activities has been evaluated and is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade of the course.
Only suspended laboratory practices and the written test can be made up, provided that the student has obtained a minimum of activities that equals two-thirds of the total grading.
Seminars are not recoverable and therefore cannot be revaluated.
On the other hand, students who have obtained a minimum grade of 8 in the theoretical test may reapply for this activity in order to raise their grade.
The grade obtained in the activities that are revaluated will be the final grade for these activities.
Attendance: Attendance at seminar classes and laboratory practices is mandatory. Unexcused absence from these sessions will result in a zero for the specific seminar or practice.
Plagiarism: The student who performs any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, identity theft...) will be qualified with 0 in this assignment or exam. In case there are several irregularities, the final grade of the subject will be 0.
The proposed teaching methodology and evaluation activities may undergo some modifications depending on the health authorities' attendance restrictions.
