The objective of this course is to provide students with the essential tools and concepts to create and analyze different types of stories made through different platforms, in an effective, interactive, critical and responsible way.

In the third part, the role of the reader/viewer /user in the construction and interpretation of texts is examined, in order to study the development models of narrative cooperation in collective creations.

Autonomous training activities | 75 | 3 | 13, 3, 5, 7, 15 |
Master classes | 45 | 1.8 | 2, 13, 5, 8 |
Supervised training activities | 30 | 1.2 | 2, 13, 3, 4, 10, 15 |
The evaluation is the result of the proportional average of the different activities carried out.
Attendance and active participation in the classroom represents 20% of the final grade for the course. The works delivered 50%, and their written presentation (style, content, structure, etc.) and oral presentation 10%. 20% corresponds to the content exams carried out throughout the semester. Absences will be penalized with a detriment of the final 10% grade for each 3-hour session or fraction (except documented justifications). Deliveries of works outside the scheduled dates will not be accepted.
The delivery of the results of the work carried out and the content tests will include the date and time of the corresponding review. Students who wish to do so may take the review whenever they request it within a maximum period of two days from the delivery of the results. Subsequent requests for review will not be accepted.
The proposed teaching methodology and evaluation activities may undergo some modifications depending on the health authorities' attendance restrictions.
The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find information on the Virtual Campus about the description of the activities, teaching materials, etc. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.
Re-assessment
Students will be entitled to the revaluation of the subject. They should present a minimum of activities that equals two-thirds of the total grading.
In the period for the reassessment, failed exams may be repeated if the average is not less than 3.5 (unrealized exams score 0 in the calculationof the mean).
The repetition of the assignment follows the same pattern of the exams: the failed works can be re-assessed as long as the grade is not lower than 3.5 (the unrealized assignments score 0 in the calculation of the mean).
The readings, discussions and exercises carried out in the seminars are linked to work in the classroom, so they can’t be re-assessed (unrealized activities score 0 in the calculation of the mean).
In the case of a second enrollment, students have to make an assignment. The grading of the subject will correspond to the grade of the synthesis exam/assignment.
If a student makes an irregularity (copy, plagiarism, etc.), the corresponding assessment act will be rated with 0. In the event of several irregularities, the final grade for the course would be 0.
