This course consists of 9 units, which will be developed in theoretical and practical work sessions. The first of these sessions will always be a comprehensive presentation of the unit by the teacher, which will be intended to:

• situate the topic in the field as a whole and identify its fundamental objectives
• outline its theoretical contents, focusing on those it considers to be most relevant or complex
• comment on the bibliographic and digital links guide
• plan the overall work on the unit, both theoretical and practical.

For each unit, the students will have a list of the specific objectives that must be mastered when the unit ends. For the achievement of these objectives, they will have the support of a bibliography (basic and complementary) and a list of specialist magazines and websites. As for the class sessions themselves, they will be devoted to the exposition, clarification, comment and discussion of these specific objectives. Moreover, in order to facilitate the follow-up of the overall content of the unit, each theoretical session will begin with a brief summary of the main issues addressed in the previous session.

Regarding the practical aspect of the subject, the student must perform synchronous activities (on which the student can work individually and/or in groups, and will be the material on which the practical sessions of each unit are developed) and asynchronous (designed for the student to work on his own in strengthening the knowledge and skills acquired in the theoretical part of the subject). Practical activities include:

• carrying out work, exercises and case study;
• commentary of texts;
• individual and/or collective presentations.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

Assessment methodology:

The evaluation of the students’ theoretical knowledge and practical training will be based on three criteria:

• 10% of the total mark will be obtained on the basis of their regular attendance at and active participation in classroom (oral contributions and exercises.)
• 60% comes from the quality of the final exam taken by the students at the end of the four-month period.
• 30% corresponds to the submission of assignments.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES:

No change from the teaching guide in terms of methodology and activities.

If the infrastructure permits, there will be 100% presence.

If the infrastructure does not allow 100% presence, there will be presence in alternate weeks. In the face-to-face weeks, part of the students will attend the class, while the rest will be able to follow these sessions in a synchronous manner by videoconference, provided that the technical means allow it. In the off-site weeks the teaching will be virtual for the group as a whole, with regular sessions, also synchronous, by videoconference.

The attendance rotation system in the classroom weeks shall be established in accordance with the ratio between the number of students and the capacity of the classroom assigned.

EVALUATION SYSTEM:

• Regular attendance and participation in online activities, assignments and practical exercises: 40%
• The percentage corresponding to the on-site final exam is replaced by the submission of a final work: 60%  (The ILIAS platform will be used for the online submission of the final work).

* The evaluation system shall be the same for ordinary and extraordinary calls.

TUTORIALS:

The tutorials will be attended by email, or, in the schedule established for this purpose, by videoconference, by appointment.

RESOURCES:

• The videoconferencing sessions will be carried out through Google Meet.
• In addition, the ILIAS platform will be used.
