Methodology

The protagonist in the process of teaching-learning is the student and,  under this premise, the methodology of the subject is planned.
 
First, we propose a large group classroom activities, which will include exhibitions by teachers of content and basic issues of the units. Will be held with the whole group class and allow exhibition of the main content through open and active participation by students.
 
Secondly, we will do activities in small groups, which will be held in the framework of the core group and will be supervised by teachers and, through analysis of documents, problem-solving or other activities, and we will study in depth the contents and topics previously worked in the large group. This collection of evidences will show how the students have made good use of the tasks performed by themselves and reviewed throughout the academic year.
 
Finally, we will do a practical work (group), and will be drawn during the term in relation to specific themes to choose from several that the teachers raised.

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 evaluation of the course is ongoing and will be based on a written individual test that will count 50% of the final mark of the course; 50% of the remaining evaluation will be divided between group class activities (20%) and a group practical work (30%), and will be done during the two blocks of the subject. All evidence must obtain a minimum of 5 to make average.
 
Attendance at these sessions is mandatory, the student must attend at least 80%. Otherwise the assessment corresponds to Non-Evaluable.
 
Students who have completed the course proper monitoring of the course, in other words, they have met the minimum of 80% of assistance and have approved all the required submissions, and still remains some way not achieved,  (for example, individual written test not approved or not submitted),  they will be given the opportunity to pass the subject making a  a re-evaluation of the written individual test. In this case, the maximum block to be recovered 5. In any case, the re-evaluation will be considered to raise the grade. 

In order to be able to opt for the re-evaluation, the student must have been previously evaluated in the group practical work and the written individual test, whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. The student must have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 in the average of the subject. 

If finally one of the evidences is not approved it will mean that the expected minimum has not been reached and the subject with the corresponding qualification for suspended evidence will be suspended. When the student has not submitted, or has not been able to provide enough evidence of evaluation that allows a global qualification of the subject, the qualification of this subject will be awarded in the format as "Non-Evaluable".

To pass this course, the student must show, in the activities offered to them,agood general communicative competence, both orally and in writing and a good command of the language and communication language contained in the units.
 
In all activities (individual and in groups), linguistic correction, writing andformal aspectsof presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correlatively and must show a high level of understanding of the academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the professor considers that it does not meet these requirements.
 
It is also necessary to show an attitude that is compatible with the teaching profession as a requirement to pass the subject. Some competencies are: active listening, respect, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgment, argument, use of the appropriate mobile phone, etc.
