Prerequisites
No previous language requirements needed for this subject. However, although there is an English language group and classes will be provided to it in that language, a basic passive understanding of Spanish will be required, since due to the nature and contents of the subject, a big part of the bibliography and sources to follow it, both primary and secundary, are solely in Spanish. Lack of knowledge of this language will not be accepted as a reason to avoid doing works, seminars or readings.
In any case, for this group in English, all essays, exams and seminars should be done in English, as it is the communication language of the group.

Methodology
The methodology of the course consists in a part of approximately 35% of the total hours that the student must dedicate essentially to the assistance to lectures, as well as to group discussions. Also as directed activities there are planned discussions on the readings and seminars in which students will have to evaluate specific parts of the course. In addition, about 10% of the total hours will be dedicated to support supervised tutorials, which are included within the hours of supervision of group work and comments and reviews of assignments and exams. Finally, students should spend about 50% of the hours provided for independent study work, reading and preparation.
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 this course consists of following parts:
- An exam of approximately the first half of the program, 30% of the final grade;
- An exam of the rest of the syllabus, 40% of the final grade;
- Two practical works (prácticas), each worth 10% of the final (20% overall);
- Continuous evaluation: participation in class discussions, text comments, and other activities planned by the professors, 10% of the final grade.
Important issues:
In order to pass the course the students should get at least a score of 4 in each of the planned exams. In this sense, students are asked to demonstrate a basic knowledge of theoretical concepts in a balanced way for both parts of the course. Once achieved this minimum grade of 4, final scores shall be made with weighted average grades of all works: when the final note weighted on both sides (exams and prácticas), plus assistance and participation in activities (10% of the end), is equal to or greater than 5 it will be considered than the subject will be passed.
To pass the course, is necessary but not sufficient to obtain a minimum of 4 in both exams. If the student fails one of both tests with less than 4, the course will be not passed.
When the student does one of the two exams or has assisted to one of the practical works will mean that this student will be graded with a numeric grade, rather than being qualified as "not present".
The mid-term exam will be held during the course, the day set by the teacher, and will be announced in advance.
The second and final exam will be at the endof the semester, the day set by the Faculty and will be announced in advance.
The dates of practical works and other activities will be specified according to the programming and evolution of the subject (see Campus Virtual).
The licenciatura students who have not passed the first or the second examination (or both exams) will have the chance to benefit from the activities of compensation, ie, eligible to take anew the failed examinations the day determined by the Faculty, at the end of the academic period of the second semester.
Students doing an exchange program have the same conditions as any other student. The practical works cannot be done after the fixed date.
