Dialogues are established with de/construction, crip theory, digital studies. Interdisciplinary dialogue with Law and Philosophy is encouraged. The contributions of the textual turn, the body turn, the affective turn and the ethical turn are also present.

The classes of the subject will be distributed in sessions in which the professors will explain the content, on the one hand; and debates-dialogues or presentations by the students themselves, on the other hand. 

The compulsory texts of the subject will be uploaded to the virtual campus more than 15 days  in advance so that the students can arrive with them read to the classes.

 

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
Individual paper 50% 60 2.4 1, 3, 6, 4, 8, 5, 7
Oral presentation 35% 30 1.2 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 5, 7, 9
Participation and involvement in the subject 15% 10 0.4 1, 3, 6, 4, 8, 5, 7, 9

  • Oral presentation of one of the proposed theoretical texts (35%). The duration of the exposure should be between 20-30 minutes.

  • An individual paper will be presented in specialized academic article format (between 10 and 12 pages) (50%). The theme, focus, structure will be established and previously worked on in successive tutorials, and they must dialogue with the aspects seen in class. This  will be delivered at the end of the course.

  • Participation and involvement in the subject (15%), especially during the exhibition-tutoring sessions of the final work of modules (January).

 

  • To pass, the student must obtain a final grade equal to or greater than 5.

  • The proposed activities are mandatory. Therefore, those who do not perform all of them will be considered as not evaluable and will not be able to present themselves for recovery.

  • The works must be original. The total or partial copy of materials already published on any medium is not allowed. In case of presenting non-original material without indicating its origin, the qualification of the activity or work will automatically be suspended (0).

  • Misspellings and drafting drop points. Plagiarism is a crime and involves the failure / total failure of the subject.

    Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.

    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.

     

Single assessment

The single assessment includes the delivery of the written work (50%) and the completion of an oral exam (50%) with two types of tests: the development of theoretical aspects (30%) and their application in a text (20%).

The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
