According to what is included in the Memory of the Bachelor's Degree in Sciences of Culture and Cultural Diffusion, for the subject of Anthropology the following competences are established:
General Competences
CG1 That students possess the basic knowledge related to the area of Humanities and Culture derived from secondary education and that they are capable of expanding and developing it through contact with specialized texts and recent approaches.
CG2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competences that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within the areas of Humanities and Culture.
CG3 That students have the ability to collect and interpret relevant data (related to the content of the Degree in Cultural Sciences and Cultural Diffusion) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
CG4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience.
CG5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
Transversal Competences
CT1 Ability to correctly and consistently use a foreign language in diverse communication situations.
CT2 Adequate writing of texts, with the corresponding formal presentation adjusted to the parameters prevailing today in the
computer processors.
CT3 Skill in the use of new technologies.
Specific Competences
CE1 Acquire the basic knowledge that allows understanding the different components that intervene in linguistic activity and the main methods and resources for its scientific study.
CE2 Develop a reflective and critical point of view regarding the influence of science in today's world.
CE3 Reasonably understand the interest of intercultural dialogue and the need to respect cultural differences.
The teaching of the subject is organized in expository sessions and interactive sessions. The proposed guideline is to develop key concepts and contents in each expository classroom, which will then be deepened and complemented in the subsequent interactive one.
In the theoretical lessons, the teacher will develop the topics included in the program, accompanying the exhibition of examples and materials that contribute to linking theoretical concepts with their historical and practical concretions. It will bet on an integrated explanation, which works on a series of fundamental ideas from the beginning to the end of the program, based on the previous knowledge of the student body, in a progressive conceptual problematization, and a permanent invitation to dialogue, questioning and participation of the student body.
In the interactive classrooms, you will choose to work collectively on a selection of readings, in addition to incorporating methodological training activities and an introduction to the applied aspect of Anthropology. Through these activities, the competence of written expression (elaboration of individual critical commentary on reading) and oral (stimulation of collective debates), as well as the initiation of research (elaboration of work plan) will be worked on. Students will also have the possibility of personalized follow-up through tutoring with the teacher.
The texts and work materials for the development of the subject will be available to students in the Virtual Campus.
In the event that (due to confinement or for other reasons) any limitation of presence is decreed, the methodology of the subject would be adapted to scenarios 2 (partially face-to-face / telematic teaching) and 3 (exclusively telematic teaching), collected in the documents of Bases and Directrices para o Desenvolvemento dunha Docencia Presencial Segura para o curso 2020-2021 na USC, through the use of mechanisms of a synchronous and asynchronous nature alternative to face-to-face (Virtual Campus, Teams, telematic tutorials, etc. .), which would be specified to the students in due time. They will be used in the schedule and to the extent that particular circumstances allow.
The teacher will continuously monitor the learning. The final grade will derive from the sum of two parts:
1. Expository - test (40%)
2. Interactive - participation and tasks (60%)
To pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain at least 50% of the maximum grade of each of the two parts.
For students with attendance waivers granted, the part of item 2 dedicated to participation will not be computed, with the rest of the items adding 100%.
In the second opportunity, depending on what each student needs to recover: 1) An expository part test will be carried out while maintaining interactive grades; 2) Vice versa; 3) Test or task will be carried out on expository and interactive part (100%).
In the event that a confinement or health alert forces to reduce or suppress attendance, placing us in scenarios 2 or 3 contained in the documents of Bases and Directrices para o Desenvolvemento dunha Docencia Presencial Segura para o curso 2020-2021 na USC, The evaluation activities for the subject indicated for scenario 1 will be maintained, as well as their weighting. In these scenarios 2 or 3, the evaluation activities would be carried out partially or totally through telematic means (synchronous or asynchronous), for which the teachers will offer the appropriate indications and adaptations when the time comes.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións.
According to what is included in the Memory of the Bachelor's Degree in Sciences of Culture and Cultural Diffusion, for the subject of Anthropology, the following time distribution is established:
Classroom activity: Theoretical classrooms / expository sessions - Hours: 24
On-site activity: Seminars / interactive sessions - Hours: 24
Face-to-face activity: Tutorials - Hours: 6
On-site activity: Assessment - Hours: 4
On-site activity: Other activities - Hours: 2
Autonomous work of the students - Hours: 90
CONTINGENCY PLAN
In accordance with what is established in the document Bases and Directrices para o Desenvolvemento dunha Docencia Presencial Segura para o curso 2020-2021 na USC, this section of observations refers to the required “Contingency Plan”, for the purposes of future monitoring processes and accreditation two titles. Thus, as stated in the respective sections of this program, the teaching methodology and the evaluation system may be adapted to suit the possible scenarios 2 and 3 included in the aforementioned Guidelines document.
