This subject aims to provide analytic tools from the feminist critique of science, the history and philosophy of science and technology, and education with gender perspective, for the students to actively take part in the current debates, as well as to elaborate programs and take measures to face future challenges in the scientific-technological and environmental fields, with an intersectional gender perspective.
Block 1: Scientific, medical, and technological constructions of the body, sexuality, and gender.
Block 2: Feminist critique to science and feminist epistemologies.
Block 3. Historical, scientific, and technological accounts of sex/gender.
Block 4. Scientific education and STEM from a gender and equity perspective.
The methodology is eclectic and interdisciplinary, based on the students’ prior knowledge. Through the sessions, the students have to use this concepts and terms in his argumentation, critiques and justifications.
The sessions will start by introducing the topic through a case study, reading or audiovisual material to promote the activation of one's own prior knowledge. After that, a lecture related to the proposed topic will add complexity to the analysis. Lastly, a creation, debate and / or argumentation phase will take place to integrate what has been learned during the session.
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.

Continuous assessment
The evaluation of the competences and learning outcomes is continuous, through the active participation of the students in relation to the activities proposed. The final grade will consist of the overage of the points obtained in each assessment. For the evaluation to be considered effective, students must have a 3,5 out of 10, in each of the assessments. The evaluation activities are a writing exam with notes, an oral exposition and a dossier.
Lecturers will report the grades of each assessment through Moodle once each block has been completed. Final grades will be published after the session of general conclusions of the course, also through Moodle.
Single assessment
In the event that the student adheres to the single assessment, the student will have to pass a written theoretical development exam without notes (33.3%), the resolution of a case study (33.3%) and an oral exposure (33.3%). The grade for the subject will be the average of these activities, provided that you obtain a minimum of 3.5 in each of them. The subject will be approved as long as an average value higher than 5 is obtained.
Recommendations
It is assumed that students are able to express themselves correctly both orally and in writing. For this reason, any spelling and expression errors that may be made will lead to a decrease in the grade of the assessment. Likewise, it is considered that the students know the general norms of presentation of an academic work. However, specific rules may be applied by indication of the lecturers if they consider it appropriate.
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 grade for this subject.
Grade review procedure
At the time of each assessment test, lecturers will inform the students via Aula Moodle of the procedure and date of revision of the grades.
Recovery procedure
In case of need, a recovery test (exam) will be carried out for those students who do not pass the continuous assessment tests as a whole. To participate in the recovery, the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade of the subject, and have obtained a minimum grade of 3,5 out of 10.
Conditions for “Not evaluable”
Students who do not complete at least 2/3 of the assignments will be considered as “Not evaluable”, exhausting the enrolment rights of the subject.
Information regarding adaptation of evaluations to the hybrid teaching system in the event of an epidemic
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities, and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.

Argumentative test | 33,3% | 1 | 0.04 | 3, 1, 2, 4, 7, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 |
