The objective of the subject "Contemporary History of Catalonia II, Francoism and the recovery of Autonomy" is to educate students in this area. To achieve this goal, they will be provided with the necessary instruments and resources so that they can acquire a solid knowledge of the processes and the political, social, economic and cultural phenomena developed in Catalonia during the period from 1939 to the recovery of self-government and the first steps of its development. On the other hand, it is very important that students have a strong knowledge of the country, from the historical, geographical, cultural and social perspective, given that the information will move in these parameters. The subject covers the second section of Contemporary History of Catalonia. Generically: the second half of the 20th century or the 1939-1979 chronology and maintains an effective relationship with the previous (History of Catalonia).
Naturally, as can be reflected in social media, the main academic debates and of all kinds, the many interpretations and controversies that arise from the subject matter, will take place in class.

As can be seen in this Course Guide, there is a general methodological reference framework for the entire subject. However, the teachers of the subject tend to apply their own criteria in the development of this, in the group that corresponds to them. And that is why there is the Virtual Campus (among other reasons), it must be taken into account. Therefore, Course Guide aside, students must pay attention to the specifications that each of the teachers determines for the correct follow-up of the course.
In the general methodology, students must take into account three major mechanisms: explanations in the classroom (which can be with all kinds of technical supports: PowerPoint, documentaries and images); the work of the students, especially in the area of reading and writing exercises, in addition to the analysis of the materials provided (both in the classroom and in the Virtual Campus); and tutorials, that is, the space for consultations and problem solving with the teacher during office hours.
These mechanisms are common to the subject. Then, in each group, the teacher adapts it to their own profile.
The teachers of the subject will be sensitive to the gender perspective.
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 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Two Written test and one presentation of papers. | Note about 10: 8 points in two exams; 2 points in exercices, reviews, and papers. | 7.5 | 0.3 | 23, 2, 1, 3, 29, 12, 5, 19, 31, 6, 18, 7, 8, 9, 10, 4, 20, 13, 17, 14, 15, 16, 22, 21, 11, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 24, 35, 34, 32, 33 |
The final grade will be the result of three assessed activities:
1. First midterm. Assessment of the contents of the first part of the course. 4 points (40% of the final grade).
2. Second midterm. Assessment of the contents of the second part of the course. 4 points (40% of the final grade).
3. In-class practical exercise. 2 points (20% of the final grade). An analysis and commentary exercise, carried out in the classroom, on a document, graph, image, etc.
After completing each assessment activity, the instructor will inform students (via Virtual Campus) of the procedure and the date for grade review.
The final assessment for the course will be based on the three aforementioned exercises, which will be distributed over the 15 weeks of teaching.
To pass the course, students must complete all three exercises and achieve a passing grade (5 points), weighting the grades for the three assessment activities according to the percentage for each. If your final grade is between 3.5 and 4.9, you may take a make-up exam to pass the subject.
The schedule of assessment tests cannot be modified (except in exceptional, duly justified cases). Erasmus students who request to reschedule an exam must submit a letter from their home university to the professor justifying their request.
Evaluation surveys
15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the timetable established by the centre/title, for the complementation by the students of the assessment surveys of the teaching staff's performance and the assessment of the subject.
Single evaluation
Students who so express it may take a single evaluation. Choosing this option does not exclude class attendance. This will consist of three evaluation activities that will represent, respectively, 25%, 25% and 50% of the final grade. The first two will be analyzes of historical materials and must be delivered on the day of the synthesis exam/assignment, which will consist of a final exam on the day set in the calendar. The course grade will correspond to the sum of the three activities. The same assessment method as continuous assement will be used. Should the final mark be between 3.5 and 4.9, the student will be able toresit the final exam to pass the subject.
Recovery
Students are entitled to retake the subject if they have been assessed on the set of activities whose weight represents at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject. The retake exam does not serve to raise the grade; it only allows students who need it to pass with a final grade of 5.
Not assessed
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
Plagiarism
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.
This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches.
At the beginning of the course, the teaching staff will have placed in the virtual Campus a general bibliography of the subject, which will be completed with a specific one, linked to the development of the syllabus throughout the course.
Two books with general references are:
