All lessons are both theoretical and practical, asking students to understand theoretical concepts and apply them to analyses, real-life scenarios, and their own research. All materials are either provided on PLATEA or available in the library.

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

Participation (10%): several activities will be available on the online platform. If students make all of them, they will be granted the whole mark.

Team project (30%): students carry out a mini research project in teams of four to six people. They should make use of the skills acquired in unit 6. Afterwards, they give a presentation explaining how they carried out the work, what they have learned, and how they will use this knowledge in their own research.

Exam (60%): written exam containing both theoretical questions and practical activities.

Students would be taught online and face to face. During online lessons, there would be one group only. As to lessons on campus, there would either be one group if the number of students is below the maximum number of people allowed in the room, or more than one if the number of students exceeds the limit of people allowed in the room. Theory and practice are to be carried out online and on campus.

Evaluation

Evaluation would remain unchanged.

For the EXTR call, students would take an exam (100%) on campus.

Resources

For online lessons, students would need a stable connection on a computer and a set of headphones.

Methodology

In this scenario, all lessons would take place online. The online platform would be the forum where all materials, activities, and the like would be carried out. Students would work autonomously, contacting the lecturer as many times as needed. More office hours would be available so that students can get individual help via email or GMeet.

Evaluation

All grading activities would take place online:

• 20% participation
• 40% team project
• 40% exam

For the EXTR call, students would take a written exam (100%).

Resources

For online lessons, students would need a stable connection on a computer and a set of headphones.
