Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVID-19.

During the theoretical sessions, the active and reflexive participation of the students will be encouraged. Students will also be encouraged to work cooperatively and autonomously through theoretical and practical work, presentations, academic tutorials, etc. Students must be able to obtain information and broaden their knowledge through various sources in order to deepen the contents of the subject.  This work will be guided and tutored by the teacher.

SUPERVISED 

  • Tutoring and other tutoring activities.

AUTONOMOUS

  • Search for auditions.
  • Performing tasks of musical analysis and creation.
  • Theoretical and practical presentations by students.

DIRECTED

  • Exhibitions by the teaching staff on the contents of the program.
  • Practical activities of listening, analysis and musical creation.

Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public Health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVED-19.

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

  • Class attendance is mandatory: the student must attend a minimum of 80% of classes, otherwise it will be considered as no show.

The student has to prove to be responsible and rigorous in self-employed work, show critical thinking and behaviors that promote a friendly and positive, democratic environment where differences are respected.
  • The active, positive and creative participation of the students will be valued in the classes. The degree of participation and the level of reflection of the contributions will be valued in the debates. 
  • In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any work will be penalized with a 0 as a mark for this work, losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is individual or group work (in this case, all group members will have a 0). 
  • If, while doing individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or discovers some type of document or device not authorized by the teacher, the work will be graded with a 0, with no option for recovery.
