Methodology

Languages of teaching

This course will be taught in Spanish

Elements

1- For the teaching of this subject, both theory and practice will be merged. In order for learning to develop correctly, students will have to show a proactive attitude. Thus, conceptual issues and practices will be seen in the workshops and visits that are foreseen, which implies active participation, as students will become the protagonist of their own learning process.

2- The Moodle virtual campus platform will be the essential tool for this learning process, and will also be the communication instrument between teachers and students and vice versa. In this virtual space, in addition to uploading the syllabus of the subject, debates will take place, where students will have the material visible, links of interest, the tasks to be carried out (individually or collectively), and where they will be able to know their qualitative and quantitative evolution.

Note: 15 minutes of a class, within the timetable established by the center/title, will be set aside for students to complete the teacher evaluation and subject/module evaluation surveys.

 

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

Continuous Assessment System

  1. There is an exam which represents 20% of the mark. The exam will integrate the theoretical part, articles, and contemporary documents. The lecturers will publish the marks on Moodle. 
  2. The visits to the Heritage with activities for the student represent 35% of the overall grade of the course (these activities will be carried out at the same time as the visits). 
  3. Elaboration and implementation of the workshops will represent 35% of the overall grade of the course. 
  4. Finally, participation will account for 10% of the grade. To obtain this 10%, the student must attend 80% of the workshops and heritage visits. 
  5. In order to pass the course, students must obtain an average mark of at least 5 out of 10.
  • 1a) Final Exam

            In the case that the continuous evaluation is suspended, a final exam will have to be done with the resolution of 3 of the workshops carried out throughout the course. The date will be the one established based on what is planned by the official program of the School (EUTDH)

  • 1b) Reassessment of continuous assessment

            A reassessment is foreseen for students who, not having passed the subject, have obtained more than a 3.5 in the planned exam. The date will be the one established based on what is planned by the official program of the School (EUTDH)

 2) Single Assessment:

  • Students who cannot take the continuous assessment have the option of taking a single exam. It will be necessary to inform both the academic secretary and the professor that said student is taking advantage of the single assessment system on the date specified in the official program of the School (EUTDH).
  • The exam will be based on the scheduled academic date within the official program of the School (EUTDH) and will be based on a set of practical cases as well as on the theory that will be found in the reference books indicated in this teaching guide.
  • The exam will have a value of 100% To pass you must obtain a score of 5 out of 10

            2a) Reassessment:

           "The recovery of the subject by single evaluation will be the same as that of the rest of the students coming from continuous evaluation, in addition it will be necessary that they have obtained at least a 3.5 in the set of evidences carried out in this single evaluation"
