No prerequisites required, although basic knowledge of technical vocabulary from different musical fields -i.e. classical, urban, contemporary, traditional music- is recommendable.
The course encourages an open format of a seminar, with an active learning that involves all the students. The course contents will be achieved mainly from the reading and critical discussion of the course readings and other materials, as well as the analysis and debate on the proposed audiovisual cases. Supervised work in the classroom will be done in person in the classroom.
Throughout the theoretical-practical class sessions, collective work on various audiovisual and written materials will be shared. The work material will be proposed mainly by the teaching staff, although the contribution of the students will be encouraged. Collaborative work will also be promoted in small groups in the classroom, organized to reflect and discuss the proposed materials, from which written or audiovisual materials will be derived and considered in the final evaluation.
These activities will be complemented, insofar as circumstances permit, with attending live concerts from which the student will have to prepare critical works that will be presented throughout the course.
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.

CONTINUOS ASSESSMENT
There will be three assessable activities that will be scheduled and announced in class and on Moodle:
-Written exam corresponding to the first part of the subject (30%).
-Written exam corresponding to the second part of the subject (30%).
-A series of writing assignments, concert review practices, and audiovisuals done in groups (30%).
The remaining 10% will be assessed on the basis of class attendance, participation in class debates, and the proactive attitude towards the case studies presented by the teaching staff.
The subject offers the possibility of assessment. To be able to access assessment, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total qualification. To be able to access assessment, you must have obtained a minimum average rating of 3.5.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
SINGLE ASSESTMENT
-Written exam corresponding to the first part of the subject (35%).
-Written exam corresponding to the second part of the subject (35%).
-A series of writing assignments, concert review practices, and audiovisuals (30%).
The date will be published in the Campus Virtual.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final gradefor this subject. Assessment acts in which there have been irregularities of this type cannot be recovered.
