-Ability to engage in logical argumentation in debate and to plan and complete individual or group learning projects.
-Ability to consolidate individual and team work habits that foster self-learning and critique.
-Optimally manage work time and organize available knowledge and information resources.

-Ability to acquire knowledge of the main lines of historical development in the Modern Age, in a way that fosters students' skills for teaching, work in archives, libraries, or museums, in activities related to the management of documentary, cultural, and artistic heritage, etc., thus helping to develop a scientific methodology in relation to the History of Art.

-Ability to design, plan, and carry out academic work.
-Teamwork skills.
-Ability to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects.
In order to facilitate and streamline the teaching of the subject, the following techniques will be used:
- Lectures in which the professor will explain the theoretical content of the subject in person in the classroom. 32 hours depending on the schedule and group.
- Interactive classroom classes in which the activities will be practical and related to the theoretical content of the subject. 16 hours depending on the schedule and group.
- Practical seminar supported by audiovisual resources and other materials, on a relevant topic of the subject, which will contribute to a deeper understanding of the subject and encourage discussion by students. This activity will be conducted in person at the faculty, on the day and time designated by the Dean for the fieldwork experience.
- Personalized tutoring. 3 hours depending on the schedule and group.
- In addition, students will be able to use the course's virtual classroom, where they will find detailed explanations of the course, extensive work materials for the expository and interactive sections of the course, as well as a useful channel of communication with the professor.
Assessment will be continuous, as stipulated in the Art History degree dissertation. Therefore, attendance and participation in classroom activities are mandatory. Therefore, an absence of more than 20% will prevent the student from being assessed at the first opportunity, except for students with an exemption.
Assessment will be carried out throughout the course and will consist of:
1. A written test on the theoretical content of the lectures, which will account for 60% of the final grade.
2. Attendance and participation in interactive sessions and the completion of assigned assignments will account for 40% of the final grade.
3. Students with an exemption will take a written test on the theoretical (60%) and practical (40%) content of the lectures and interactive classes.
Continuous formative assessment combined with an in-person final exam.
60% of the final grade is obtained as follows:
A final in-person exam on the date indicated in the official calendar prepared by the Dean's Office of the Faculty, in which the student must answer questions related to the topics covered in the lectures. This will count toward 60% of the final grade.
To pass the course, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 on this exam. If the student does not achieve a 5 on this lecture section, or even the interactive section, they will fail the course, regardless of whether the average exceeds 5 in certain cases (in these cases, the quantitative score for failure would be 4.9).
40% of the final grade is obtained as follows:
- 5% will be derived from class attendance, with the student with the highest attendance rate (subject to prior review by the instructor) receiving a score of 0.5, and this score will decrease proportionally to the number of attendances.
- 5% will be derived from the student's in-person participation in interactive classes, with the student with the highest attendance rate receiving a score of 0.5, and this score will decrease proportionally to the number of participations and their quality.
- The remaining 30% is derived from the student's various grades on tests and activities related to the interactive classes (individual practical work and group practical work). Any work or activity not submitted will be given a score of zero.
- Only students who have not taken the exam or completed any of the activities or assignments in the interactive section will be considered as missing students.
Assessment stages and subsequent exam sessions:
-Students who obtained an average score of 5 or higher in interactive assignments will have their grade carried over to the following year (as long as there is no change in instructor). They only need to take the exam based on the lecture syllabus.
-If a student fails the subject but passes the exam (with a score of 5 or higher), their exam grade will be carried over to the following year (as long as there is no change in instructor). They will not need to retake the exam, although they will still have to complete the interactive portion, regardless of their grade.
-Regarding interactive assignments graded based on oral presentations or non-written tests, the instructor will indicate what specific activity replaces them in the July assessment stage or subsequent exam sessions.
-Students who are exempt from attending class will be evaluated through an exam (60%) and mandatory practical work (40%). If the dispensation is granted, the provisions of the "Regulations for class attendance in official undergraduate and master's degrees" approved by the Governing Council on November 25, 2024 will be followed.
Each hour of expository teaching should be accompanied by a supplementary student assignment (in the form of readings and recording of lecture presentations) of approximately two hours.
In addition, it is estimated that to complete each hour of interactive teaching, students should spend at least four hours of individual work.
Taking into account the course load and the aforementioned estimates, it is estimated that each student's individual work time should be approximately 150 hours.
- It is recommended that students have a humanistic background.
- Ability to read in a foreign language commonly used in scientific production in the field of modernist studies.
- Due to the nature of the subject, a specialization in a specific field of Modern History, in which basic knowledge of major cultural, religious, and scientific movements must be mastered from previous courses, the basic recommendation is to read specialized bibliography, with the aim of keeping pace with the evolution of the subject. To ensure control over the commentary on texts, graphs, and tables, special attention should be paid to this type of content in the bibliography.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the Evaluation of Student Academic Performance and Grade Review will apply.
Please note that audio or video recording, or the taking of photographs, is not permitted during classes without the express authorization of the instructor. Likewise, cell phones must be turned off or silenced, and their use is restricted, as is that of computers (for note-taking), to the occasional reference to information needed during a class.
In the case of academic fraud as defined in article 42 of the USC Coexistence Law of March 2023, the sanctions provided for in article 11 will be applied if plagiarism occurs in academic works or exams or non-consensual use of Artificial intelligence.
