Objectives and Contextualisation

The first part of the module will be devoted to providing a general guidance on the techniques and the fundamental knowledge for editing and correcting Catalan texts from different periods. These contents will be offered during the first semester, and will be given by Lluís Cifuentes (edition of medieval texts, block 1) and Víctor Martínez Gil (edition of contemporary texts and correction of texts, block 2). The second part of the module (second semester) will be devoted to the research methodology with special attention to the topic of the final master's degree (TFM) chosen by each student.

  • Contextualise texts for analysis and production.
  • Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
  • Develop the ability to assess sex and gender inequalities in order to design solutions.
  • Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  • Seek out information in the scientific literature using appropriate channels, and use this information to formulate and contextualise a research topic.
  • Show respect for the opinions, values, behaviours, and practice of other researchers and professionals.

The teaching methodology and the evaluation proposed in the guide may undergo some modification subject to the onsite teaching restrictions imposed by 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
Oral presentations 50 % 5 0.2 1, 2, 5, 11
Writting assignments 25 % 2.5 0.1 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12
Writting assignments 25 % 2.5 0.1 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12

The evaluation will be based on oral presentations and written assignments that must be delivered by the term established. An active participation in the module is required. In the event that an evaluation activity does not obtain the minimum grade of 5 out of 10 the student can repeat it in a period of reassessment established by the calendar of the course. The maximum reassessment note is 5 (Pass).

 

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

 

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.

 

In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.

 

Students will obtain a "Not assessed/Not submitted" course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

 

 

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

  1. Oral presentation (50 %)
  2. Writting assignments (25%)
  3. Writing assignments (25%)

Students will obtain a "Not assessed/Not submitted" course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
