Prerequisites

This subject has no specific prerequisites. Classes will preferably be taught in Catalan, in some cases with visual support in Spanish.
The subject matter will be sensitive to aspects related to respect for fundamental rights of equality between women and men, human rights and the values of a culture of peace and will seek to promote personal growth and professional commitment to the same and the community, as suggested by the Audiovisual Council of Catalonia, "to show the different social realities, do not allow the creation of continguts that aim to promote or justify homophobia, bifòbia, lesbofòbia and transfòbia, diffuse the denunciation of discriminatory fets and present practical bones in relation to equality and non-discrimination" (Recomanacions sobre el tractament de les persones LGBTI als mitjans audiovisuals, CAC, 2017).
 

Objectives and Contextualisation

The aim is to approach discourse in all its stages: the birth of an idea, the search for the information that will allow it to be founded, the elaboration of the argument, the selection and exhibition depending on the medium and the subsequent dialogue with the receiver. 
The general objectives are grouped into four areas: 

  1. Explain how to selectively increase knowledge about a subject; 
  2. To help to construct a criterion of elaboration, strengthening the relevant elements; 
  3. Understand how to adapt the discourse to the selected medium and 
  4. To propose strategies for a bidirectionality of constructive discourse.

Methodology

 

Although it is essentially a practical subject, it is based on theoretical content that will be developed both in the different teaching sessions scheduled and within the framework of the practical classes of analysis. The organization, duration and presence of these will be adapted according to the health needs generated by Covid-19. 

The contents of this subject will be developed through different teaching methodologies: MD1: Master Classes; MD3: Collaborative Learning; MD4: Work/Report Collaboration; MD6: Work Oral Presentation; Laboratory Practices and MD11: Aula Practices.

All practices will be compulsory and their preparation will always be part of the self-employed work that makes the dedication to this assignment. 

The detailed calendar with the content of the different sessions will be set on the presentation day of the subject. In the Campus Virtual, the student will be able to find the detailed description of the exercises and practices, several teaching materials and any information necessary for the proper monitoring of the subject, as well as the changes in teaching mode for health reasons.

Regardless of what has been explained so far, students and students will make use of tutoring (MD7), which will fix teachers over the term.

 

 

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

When dealing with continuous assessment, it is compulsory to attend class.  The subject consists of the following activities:

- THEORETICAL TESTS: 30% on the final grade.

- LABORATORY PRACTICES: 40% on the final grade.

- COURSE WORK: 20% on the final grade.

- INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE: 10% on the final grade.

To pass the subject and calculate the weighted average note, each part must be exceeded with a minimum of 5 points out of 10.

REASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES: 

Reassessment activities will be carried out during the week(s) set in the academic calendar. Students who have not reached 5 points in the theory and/or in individual practice should be presented to these activities. 

Final practice and course work will not be susceptible to reassessment (the competences and skills not acquired over the course can hardly be achieved in a couple of weeks). 

 

PLAGIARISM. VERY IMPORTANT:

The student performing any irregularities (copy, plagiarism, identity impersonation,...) will be graded with 0 for this assessment act. In the event of several irregularities, the final score for the subject will be 0.
