Activities and Methodology

Title Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Type: Directed      
Description and analysis of audiovisual pieces 8 0.32 CM01, KM03, CM01
Expositive sessions 15 0.6 CM01, KM03, SM02, CM01
Production of audiovisual pieces 29.5 1.18 CM01, CM02, CM03, KM03, SM02, CM01

Readings, viewing and audiovisual analysis 30 1.2 CM01, KM03, CM01

The directed activities will be carried out in the classroom of class and in the audiovisual laboratories. Various methodologies will be combined so that students actively participate in the acquisition of knowledge and, especially, of communicative skills essential for the mastery of written, oral and audiovisual expressions in the creation of content specific to advertising and public relations. Inverted class, project-based learning and thought-based learning will be some of the methodologies used.
 
In this subject, autonomous activities will be fundamental. Students are expected to study and analyse the expressive potentialities of audiovisual and oral and written expressions, as well as to plan the production of audiovisual content.
 
As a complement and aid to autonomous activities, especially in the production of content, supervised activities are planned, which allow active monitoring of this production.
 
The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may undergo some modification depending on the restrictions to face-to-face class attendance imposed by the health authorities.

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

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Course work (individual evaluation) 20% 3 0.12 CM01, CM02, KM03, SM02
Individual content test 30% 1.5 0.06 CM01, KM03, SM02
Laboratory practices: production of various audiovisual pieces (group evaluation) 50% 3 0.12 CM02, CM03, SM02

The competences of this subject will be evaluated through various activities. In order to be eligible for the evaluation of these activities, all practical sessions or 85% of them must be attended if they are justified errors (justified does not mean having warned that you are going on a trip, but it is an inevitable lack - illness, etc.
- Individual test of contents. This is a written test.  Its value is 30% of the final grade of the subject.
- Laboratory practices. The students will work individually and also in groups in the realization of various audiovisual pieces. The value of these practices is 50% of the final grade of the subject.
- Course work. It will be an individual activity. Its characteristics will be reported at the beginning of the course. The value of the work is 20%.
 
To pass the subject it will be necessary to have a grade of 5, which will be obtained from the weighted calculation of the marks of each evaluation activity. To be able to make this weighted calculation, the activities must have a minimum grade of 4.5. If any of the sections does not reach 4.5, the weighted average will not be calculated and the subject will not be passed.
 
Reassessment:

Students will have the right to retake the subject if they have been evaluated of the set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade of the subject.
The reassessable activities are the individual test of contents and the course work and to be eligible for the reassessment, the student must have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 points in the activity that has failed. The re-evaluation will consist of the repetition of the suspended activity.

In case of second enrolment, students may take a single synthesis test that will consist of a theoretical-practical test. The qualification of the subject will correspond to the qualification of the synthesis test.
 
Plagiarism
Any student who makes any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, identity theft,...) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0. In the event of several irregularities, the final grade of the subject will be 0.
 
The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may undergo some modification depending on the restrictions to face-to-face class attendance imposed by the health authorities.
