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

a) Continuous evaluation of the autonomous work of the students to verify the acquisition of competences, abilities and skills related to the objectives of the subject, based on their critical participation in classes and seminars, as well as with the demonstrated capacity in the use of the suggested practices

b) Attendance to classes and scheduled visits will be evaluated, both to archaeological sites and to different laboratories

c) Direct evaluation of the results of the learning process through a written test, through which the acquisition of the contents of the theoretical syllabus of the subject can be verified. Students must pass the theoretical exam to be able to include the assessment of group and individual work, as well as all the assessments derived from the observation of the teaching staff.

d) Direct evaluation of the results of the learning process through the delivery of practices, in the form of individual and group work. Attendance to practices and delivery of evaluable material associated with them is mandatory to pass the subject.

e) For the extraordinary call, the evaluation system will be based on an exam concerning the theoretical content of the subject. In this call, all the practices carried out during the course must also be delivered. In the case of laboratory practices that have not been carried out in due time and form, the teaching staff will design an alternative practice. The delivery of practices is mandatory to pass the subject. Likewise, students must pass the theoretical exam to be able to include the assessment of group and individual work, as well as all the assessments derived from the observation of the teaching staff.

1- TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Multimodal or mixed teaching will be carried out as long as the equipment is available to allow synchronous teaching in those cases in which the attendance of the entire group in the classroom is not possible.

In this multimodal scenario, when appropriate, the teaching staff involved in the teaching reserves the right not to give consent for the capture, publication, retransmission or reproduction of their speech, image, voice and lecture explanations, in the exercise of their teaching functions, within the scope of the University of Jaén

Groups with number of students above the limited capacity in the classroom

Groups with a number of students below the limited capacity in the classroom.

In this remote scenario, when appropriate, the teaching staff involved in the teaching reserves the right not to give consent for the capture, publication, retransmission or reproduction of their speech, image, voice and lecture explanations, in the exercise of their teaching functions, within the scope of the University of Jaén

2- EVALUATION SYSTEM

a) Continuous evaluation of the autonomous work of the students to verify the acquisition of competences, abilities and skills related to the objectives of the subject, based on critical participation in classes and seminars, as well as with the demonstrated capacity in the use of the suggested practices

b) Class attendance will be evaluated (a + b = 20%)

c) Direct evaluation of the results of the learning process through a written test, through which the acquisition of the contents can be verified, in relation to the theoretical agenda. Students must pass the theoretical exam to be able to include the assessment of group and individual work, as well as all the assessments derived from the observation of the teaching staff (50%)

d) Direct evaluation of the results of the learning process through the delivery of practices, in the form of individual and group work. In the case of laboratory practices, a report of the analyzes carried out will be delivered (30%)

Class assistance is obligatory. The subject will not be passed if 90% of the theoretical and practical classes taught have not been attended

Attendance at practices will be mandatory. If any of the practical work is not presented or one of the organized visits or practical sessions is not attended, the subject cannot be passed.

For the extraordinary call, the evaluation system will be based on taking an exam on the theoretical content of the subject. In this call, all the practices must also be delivered. In the case of laboratory practices that have not been carried out in due time and form, the teaching staff will design an alternative practice. Students must pass the theoretical exam to be able to include the assessment of group and individual work, as well as all the assessments derived from the observation of the teaching staff.

3. RESOURCES

For online teaching and evaluation, conventional and available digital platforms will be used. It will be necessary to access the internet and have the necessary equipment to monitor the teaching.

In case of partial or total virtualization of teaching, complementary resources will be provided.

Audiovisuals. The viewing of audiovisuals of various kinds, documentaries, virtual tours, explanations on specific topics, etc. will be recommended. They will be performed synchronously and asynchronously.

Class presentations will be provided through virtual teaching. Ordinarily, the presentations of the theoretical classes will be uploaded to the teaching platform, as well as optional reading texts to complete the training.

Selection of free online consultation resources. Links to scientific articles, regulatory documents, informative documents, etc. will be available in virtual teaching. considered to be of interest to the subject.
