The course is structured in two parts: the first one for the explanation of theoretical contents, and the second for group presentations in class. The first part, of explanation of theoretical contents, is divided into two blocks in turn: 1) International migrations, and 2) Intercultural relations:
Migrations:
- Fundamental concepts about anthropology of migrations.
- Theories and typologies about migrations.
- Global context, historical stages, and trends of international migrations.
- Mobility and control. Forced migration: clandestine migrations and refugees.
- Socio-demographic panorama of international migrations
Intercultural relations:
- Fundamental concepts about culture and diversity. Intersectionality: origin, class and gender.
- Theories and models of diversity management in immigration contexts. Integration, assimilation, multiculturalism and interculturalism.
- Keys and trends in management of immigration and diversity.

The course is structured in two parts: the first one for the explanation of theoretical contents by the teacher, and the second for group oral presentations in class by students.

The fundamental material of the course is, in addition to the theoretical classes, a selected and thematically organized bibliography, a part of which is compulsory (fundamental) reading for the follow-up and evaluation of the course, and the other complementary part.

15 minutes of a class will be set aside, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to fill in surveys to evaluate the performance of the teaching staff and to evaluate the subject.

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 EVALUATION

This course is designed to be evaluated with continuous evaluation and in person.

The continuous evaluation is based on the following criteria and percentage distribution:

  • Attendance and In-class Practicum: 15% of the final grade.
  • Oral group presentation: 35% of the final grade.
  • Final exam: 50% of the final grade.

To be evaluated by continuous evaluation, it is necessary to perform and score on all evaluation criteria (attendance, oral presentation and exam). If not, the student will be listed as "Not evaluable".

All activities presented will be evaluated, and those that are not presented will be recorded as "Not presented."

To participate in the re-evaluation process, the student must have obtained a final average grade of 3.5.

Students are responsible for staying informed through the Virtual Campus, regarding content, deliveries, evaluation, notices and any changes that may occur in the calendar.

 

Attendance:

Regular class attendance is essential to carry out continuous evaluation, and the days of group oral presentations will be classified as Classroom Practices, which will be counted within the attendance criterion.

Non-attendance without documentary justification will not be counted as attendance. And in cases of low attendance (below 80%), compensatory work may be required or a reduction in the final grade may be applied.

Likewise, punctuality is required in class attendance. The teacher can establish from what time students can no longer enter class.

 

Oral Group presentation:

The oral presentation will be donein groups of approximately 2-3 people (the limit will be adjusted at the beginning of the course), and will consist of an oral presentation in class, which must also be delivered in PDF(through the enabled space of the Virtual Campus) the same day.

At least two weeks before the start of the presentations, the working groups must have given the teacher (through the enabled space of the Virtual Campus) a brief topic proposal to prepare the work, following the form available in the Virtual Campus. This proposal must contain the basic aspects of the work / presentation: name and surname of the group members, topic (any topic within the areas covered in the course), justification of its relevance, preliminary structure / index of contents, and preliminary bibliography. 

The oral presentations’ schedule will be posted on the Virtual Campus space. Once scheduled, no changes to the oral presentation dates will be accepted without a good reason.

After each presentation, and following a guide with the evaluation criteria, the teacher will give an evaluative feedback to the group, and will give rise to the open discussion with the whole class group, who will be able to ask questions to the group. Finally, the teacher will evaluate the presentation made by the group.

The group’s oral presentation will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria, all with the same weight:

  • Organization and structure, level of writing and expression
  • Volume, diversity and adequacy of the sources consulted
  • Ability to identify key aspects, critical analysis, and clarity in arguments
  • Ability to dialogue and debate using the knowledge acquired

The grade obtained from the group work will be the same for all its components.

Any indication of plagiarism in the work (for which several computer programs are used in use), will mean the automatic fail of the course.

 

Individual final exam:

The final exam will be individual and without notes. The exam will be based on the overallcontents of the course, and may be a test-type exam,or with a combination of definitions of key course concepts, thematic development questions, or commentary based on a paragraph / reading text. mandatory. Both the class notes, the compulsoryandcomplementary bibliography, and the extra materials available on the Virtual Campus will be used for its preparation.

The date of the final exam will be announced during the course.

 

SINGLE EVALUATION*

*NOTICE IN ADVANCE: This course is designed as an eminently in-person course to be evaluated with continuous evaluation. It is therefore not advisable to choose the single evaluation option. 

To choose the option of single evaluation, the student must communicate it with a form within the oficial period.

 

The single evaluation activities will consist of:

1) Individual oral presentation: 25%

With the same characteristics as the continuous evaluation and on the day of the final exam.

2) Individual written work: 25%

To be delivered in paper and in PDF on the day of the final exam, where the theme of the oral presentation will be further developed.

Format: Numbered Table of Contents, Introduction, Descriptive Sections, Conclusions, Bibliography and Annexx. Max. 25 pages (not counting the Annexes), margins 2.5 Times New Roman, single spacing.

3) Individual final exam: 50%

With similiar characteristics and in the same period as the continuous evaluation exam.

 

In the case of the single evaluation, the same re-evaluacion system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation (see below).

 

RE-EVALUATION

In order to access the re-evaluation, it is necessaryto have completed the continuous evaluation and have failed with an average grade of at least 3.5.

The re-evaluation will not take into account the continuous evaluation tests (neither the oral presentation, nor the exam nor the attendance can be recovered separately), and will consist of a single exam that will account for 100% of the final grade.
