CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Assessment activities

1. Theoretical test (50%).

1.1. Assessment system:

The concepts taught in class will be evaluated on the basis of a topic or definition type question, of analysis or synthesis and, optionally, also of critical reflection.

There will also be several problem-type exercises on:

• stratigraphy concepts: elaboration of a matrix from an archaeological section.
• conversion of stairs
• problems on sections and reading of dimensions

1.2. Competences to be demonstrated in order to obtain optimal assessment results:

Knowledge:

• A correct assimilation of the knowledge imparted in class and its deepening.
• The ability to apply the theoretical knowledge on stratigraphy in theoretical practical exercises.

 

2. Documentary research work (20%).

2.1. Competences to be demonstrated in order to obtain optimal assessment results:

Knowledge:

• Demonstrate that the student has become familiar with and masters the archaeological documentary sources and research work prior to the beginning of any archaeological field research.
• Know how to develop a formally correct research paper both in terms of structure and bibliographic references and citations.
• Demonstrate a correct assimilation of the exposed contents.

 

3. Practical exercises (10%).

3.1. Competences to be demonstrated in order to obtain optimal assessment results:

 Knowledge:

• To answer all questions posed in the reference scripts of the activities.
• To demonstrate a correct assimilation of the exposed contents.
• To have the ability to apply the theoretical contents worked on in the practicalresolution of exercises.

 

4. Excavation practice (20%).

4.1. Assessment system:

Continuous attendance will be key and the student's attitude throughout the excavation week will be mainly evaluated.

It will be necessary to hand in the topography practices carried out in the excavation (plans and sections) and the actual excavation documentation generated by each student.

4.2. Competencies to be demonstrated for optimal assessment results:

Knowledge:

• Demonstrate progressively acquired knowledge of archaeological stratigraphy, excavation documentation, and material processing and classification.

Skills:

• Teamwork skills: commitment to the team, collaborative habits, and ability to join in problem solving.
• Appropriate use of fieldwork methods.
• Apply methods and techniques for the study of different archaeological materials (CE8.2).
• Correctly interpret archaeological contexts during fieldwork (CE8.3)
• Use the methods and techniques of data recording (CE9.1)
• Handle the instruments used in the data recording (CE9.2)

Attitude:

• Dynamism
• Responsibility
• Consistency

 

Assessment conditions:

The student will receive a grade of "NOT ASSESSED" whenever he/she has not turned in one or more of an assessment activity.

It is necessary to pass the theoretical test (5) to average with the other grades. If this condition is not met, the course will be NOT ASSESSED.

 

Grade review procedure

At the time of each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and the date of revision of grades.

 

Recovery procedure

The recovery of the theoretical assessing activities (test, documentary research work) will take place on the day and time assigned by the Dean's Office.

It is necessary to recover all those assessing activities that have not been passed (5).

Practical exercises that will be carried out and delivered periodically during the theoretical teaching of the subject are excluded from recovery.
