Prerequisites

There are no pre-course requirements.

Objectives and Contextualisation

The module consists of two formative lines. The first is Public Administration's fonds, documents and records and the other is Administrative processes. Design and improvement. Each one has a specific teacher and its own syllabus and they are developed independently, with their own calendar, contents, methodologies and evaluation. There are no pre-course requirements as the course itself is an introduction to the basic principles of archiving.

Public Administration is undergoing a profound transformation in its organizational forms as a result of legislative change, technological advance, social and political framework, efficiency and transparency. This transformation has a direct translation in the management of information and record production resulting in a greater demand for the procedures that it executes. A broad vision is necessary to act on the historical fonds and on the challenges of the new electronic administration and knowledge of the administrative procedures.

Formative line Public Administration's fonds, documents and records

Evaluation consists of four elements that will make up the final mark of the line. Three of the elements are part of a continuous evaluation system, such as classroom participation (10% of the mark), practical exercises related to the theoretical material (25% of the mark) and group presentations in the classroom (15%). There will be a final exam about the contents taught in the formative line (50% of the final mark). In order to calculate the final mark of the training line, students must score a minimum of 4 in each of the four elements.

In the event of an inadequate mark/score students are offered the chance to retake this final exam o test. The mark achieved in this retake will count as the final mark for the course.

 

Formative line Administrative processes. Design and improvement

  • To access the final exam, students must have passed the practical project.
  • In order to pass the formative line, both the practical project and exam must be passed.
