Methodology
Methodology
The student's dedication to this subject is divided into different types of activities, each of the them has a specific weight of work hours. This variety of work forms materializes in differentiated methodologies.
The subject is 6 ECTS credits.
The activities are distributed in:
- Directed activities, which are activities in the classroom with the presence of the professor and may consist of lectures (with the use of ICT and with the possibility of group discussions); in seminars to discuss compulsory readings in smaller groups and sessions more oriented to practical issues in which cases, problems and examples related to the course syllabus will be analyzed. For these sessions there will be mandatory pre-readings announced by the teacher in advance. These activities represent approximately one third of the total work required.
- Supervised activities are those carried out by the student outside the classroom and in accordance with a plan designed and subsequently supervised and evaluated by the professor. The student must read and prepare texts that will be subject to control and evaluation in sessions of seminars and practices; writing of a group work that will be subject to control and evaluation through written and oral presentation in seminar mode; look for documentation on a certain topic related to the international organization (with a guide prepared by the teacher), write a brief report and make a presentation in the classroom. Also, during the course, the student should read short articles and make a comment on the text read, in addition to actively participate in the discussions on the articles. Tutoring and other similar course follow-up activities are also included. These activities represent approximately ten percent of the work required.
- Autonomous activities are those carried out by the student on their own and in accordance with the requirements of the subject to overcomeit successfully. They can be basic and complementary readings, study of class notes and / or all activities that complement the training required by the course. These activities represent approximately half of the student's work.
The teaching methodology is adapted to the distribution of work and activities.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment
The course will be evaluated by:
1. The realization of a written exam relative to the theoretical and practical content that represents 50% of the final grade of the subject and that must be overcome with a minimum grade of five points (5/10) as an indispensable condition to pass the course.
2. The elaboration of a written group work and defended orally (20% of the total of the final grade of the subject). This work is mandatory to pass the subject (must be overcome with a minimum grade of five points (5/10).
3. The readings and comments of a series of texts (the guidelines and criteria for reading the texts will be indicated during the course) which will be carried out in seminar format (20%). Likewise, the student's participation (comments, discussion of texts, exposition of topics, etc.) in the classes (readings, comments and participation 10% of the final grade of the subject) will be valued in the overall final grade.
Students who do not pass the written exam will have the opportunity to take part in the compensation activities, that is, they will be able to take the suspended exam again on the day determined by the Faculty. The evaluable seminars with note and the group work can not be done again, they do not have compensation activities.
Important: Students who do not obtain the minimum grade, five points out of ten, in the written exam, will have the subject suspended, even if they have approved the work done in a group, the corresponding seminars and other evaluation guidelines.
The fact of submitting to the partial written exam exempts the student from the grade "NOT PRESENTED".
