Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |

Type: Directed | |||
Anual team task, individual study and readings | 165 | 6.6 | CM07, CM09, KM10, KM11, SM09 |

Various activities will be carried out during the course:
1.- Master classes
2.- Worksop sessions
3.- Reading texts
4.- Presentations to the group
6.- Year Task of the subject (Communication Plan)
7.- Group or individual tutoring
8.- Conference or talk by professionals in the commercial communication and PR sector (to be defined)
These activities will be organized, during the 10 months of the course, as follows:
1- Master classes:
Keynotes about the matter. Exposition and consultation of doubts. Compulsory attendance.
There will be between 8 and 10 sessions of 3 hours throughout the course, taught by the main associate professor.
2- Workshop sessions:
14 workshop sessions of 3 hours linked to each one of the master classes.
They will be mainly taught by assistant teachers. Alumni will be divided in two or three groups (33% or 50% of the class in alphabetical order).
In each session you can expand / complement the theoretical content explained in the keynote session. Then, several exercices will arise, which can be developed individually or in a group, and can be done both in class or at home.
In total, there will be around 18-20 workshops to be grade.
3- Development of the course yearly task:
Preparation of a Communication Plan. Students will be divided into teams of 4 people. Several cases will be defined, which will be assigned for their development to 3 or 4 teams, which will "compete" for offering the best proposal.
The evolution of the work will be supervised by one of the professors through various tutorial sessions and a final evaluation of the finished written work will be carried out.
Subsequently, each group will make an oral presentation to defend their proposal in front of a tribunal formed by the 3 professors and, perhaps, an external professional linked to one of the cases. This court will punctuate each group and will choose, case by case, the winners of each "oralcontest".
4- Readings:
Various readings related to thetheoretical contents and sections of the work will be provided, which each student must comment in writing and individually.
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.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Exam | 4 credits / 33% of the final grade | 6 | 0.24 | KM10, KM11, SM09 |
Workshops, exercises & readings | 4 credits / 33% of the final grade | 5 | 0.2 | CM07, CM09, KM10, KM11, SM09 |
Year task in groups | 4 credits / 33% of the final grade | 4 | 0.16 | CM09, KM10, KM11, SM09 |
This subject conforms, together with Marketing of the first year and Creativity of the third year, the backbone of the Degree. That is why they are the core subjects of each of these three courses respectively, and they have 12 credits.
The subject is based on the balance between the learning of theoretical contents and the ability to apply them in a real day-to-day situation of the profession. Therefore, the evaluation contemplates this double dimension and the 12 credits will be distributed equally between exam (4), practices and readings (4) and course work (4). To pass the matter, it will be required a minimum of 5 for the final grade.
The official program separates the two quarters and awards 7 of the twelve credits to the first and 5 to the second one. As each of these two blocks is independent, to pass the subject it is necessary to approve both of them. Therefore, if a student suspends one of the semesters, the subject can not be approved doing average and the suspended part must be recovered.
An approximation, not exact, between the allocation of credits by academic areas and by quarters is the following:
First 4-months:
- Theoric exam.................................................. 2 credits
- Workshop sessions.............................................. 2 credits
- Work: Communication Plan .................................. 2 credits
- Readings ........................................................... 0.5 credits
In any of the four sections, the minimum grade to play average with other is a 4.
Second 4months:
- Theoric exam.................................................. 2 credits
- Workshop sessions.............................................. 1 credits
- Work: Communication Plan .................................. 2 credits
- Readings ........................................................... 0.5 credits
In any of the four sections, the minimum grade to play average with other is a 4.
ACCESS TO WORKSHOP SESSIONS OR RIGHT TO BE EVALUATED OF THE TUTORIAL DELIVERIES WON'T BE GRANTED WITHOUT ATTENDANCE TO THE CORRESPONDENT KEYNOTE SESSION.
The credits of the work will be divided, on 100 points, of the following form:
The winning team in each case will receive aproximate 30 points, the second 20, the third 10 and the fourth 0.
Exam: it will have a part of test questions and a practical part to be developed. The correction of the test will be based on the formula CORRECT ANSWERS - ERRORS / Nº OPTIONS-1, which corrects the probabilities of random success of people who have not followed the subject. It is required a minimum of 4 in each part to average.
Workshops and exercises: they must be carried out and delivered on the day indicated in the subject calendar or that the teaching team marks. Only those practices that have not been carried out for justified reasons or force majeure (illness, ...) can be recovered. The absence or impossibility of realization must be proven.
In both, the practical exam and practicals exercisses during the workshops, the fact of answering in English the entire task will imply an extra score of between 0.3 and 0.5 points.
The student who performs any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, identity theft...) that can lead to a significant variation of the qualification of an evaluation act, will be qualified with 0 this act of evaluation. In case there are several irregularities, the final grade of the subjectwill be 0.
RECOVERY:
The student will be entitled to the revaluation of the subject if he or she has been evaluated of the set of activities the weight of which equals a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade of the subject.
Coursework is NOT recoverable except for some of the first 3 partial deliveries. Both, Practice and Exams blocks are recoverable, but can be recovered with a minimum grade of 3. In the case of a lower grade, the subject can not be retrieved.
The block of practice exercices withineack 4-moths period can be recovered through an axercise by the end of this period.
The exams are recovered with a new recovery exam at the end of the course, in which the maximum mark that comes out to combine with the rest of the marks of the subject will never be higher than 6.5.
In the case of a second enrolment, students can do a single synthesis exam/assignment that will consist of a exam, divided in 2 momments, each one at the end of each quarter.The grading of the subject will correspond to the grade of the synthesis exam/assignment. However, to reduce the risk that students may face, they may choose to supplement the grading of the synthesis tests with practical exercises of the continuous assessment.
In this subject there is no single evaluation.
