The subject will be developed through the following general methods and techniques, which will be applied differentially according to the characteristics of the subject.
Scenario 1: Adapted normality
- Exhibition teaching: the teachers will present and explain to students the main contents of the subject, encouraging the participation, discuss and critical opinion of the students in the classroom.
- Interactive teaching: seminars that will consist of the realization of work written in group and their subsequent oral presentation by all students. In addition, the debate will be raised on the contents covered in the topic. It will develop the analysis and resolution of practical cases / assumptions, as well as simulations or performative activities that integrate the learning of the contents of the subject.
- Tutoring: the student can request tutoring, individually, according to the schedule planned for this task in this teaching program, in person.
Information about scenarios 2 and 3 is contained in "observations"
The evaluation shall be carried out on a comprehensive and continuous basis, in accordance with the following:
Scenario 1
- Exhibition teaching: Compulsory attendance in the theoretical classrooms and conducting a written test where the knowledge acquired in all the activities developed by the students will be valued. It represents 60% of the final grade. The test will be conducted in person.
- Interactive teaching (seminars):
It represents 40% of the final grade of the subject. It will consist of group work. A criteria-based assessment will be conducted that students will know at the beginning of the seminars. In the case of practical assumptions, simulations, etc., these will represent half of the final qualification of interactive teaching, valuing the individual work so that a continuous evaluation of each student is carried out, in which the evaluation items of the following competencies will be collected. : CB2, CG3, CG17, CT01, CT02, CT05, CT08 and CE01.
Information on scenarios 2 and 3 is contained in "observations"
General considerations of the evaluation system:
Compulsory attendance. Students who do not pass the interactive part of the subject will not be able to pass the subject in the current academic year. No new works or exhibitions will be accepted for the June/July edition.
Continuous assessment of attitude, interest, participation, ability to work as a student's team, compliance with established schedules, good behavior and respect for teaching staff, as well as all other students.
The lack of unjustified assistance, both in exhibition and interactive teaching, will result in the failure to overcome the subject. In case of absence for greater cause, it must be duly justified. It is necessary to provide the teacher responsible for the subject with a document proving the absence as soon as possible.
To pass the subject, it will be necessary to have approved a teaching both interactive and exhibition.
To pass the exhibition teaching it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of five at the first or second opportunity.
It is possible to take a written test at the end of the first semester. If this is the case, those who approve it will not have to examine these contents at the first opportunity. Those who fail this test will at the first opportunity examine the contents of the first and second semesters, and it is necessary to reach a minimum score of 5 in each of the tests to overcome the matter.
On the second opportunity, the evaluation will consist of a single test to be approved with a minimum rating of 5.
Students who, having passed the interactive part of the subject, suspended one or both partial exams during the course, can be examined at the second opportunity in the July call, maintaining the qualification obtained in the interactive teaching of the current academic year.
Students who do not take the written exam will be deemed unsubs.
The qualification obtained in interactive teaching will be maintained in the July assessment.
Students who are exempt from attendance at the exhibition will be evaluated according to the sections corresponding to the interactive teaching and the test corresponding to each part of the subject, according to the same criteria as the rest of the student.
The subject has a teaching load of 9 ECTS. Each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours, of which 17 correspond to the autonomous work of the students and 8 hours to face-to-face teaching.
Hours in the classroom: 36h.
Seminar schedule: 43h.
Tutorials: 9h E
valuation: 2
Hours of personal work of the student: 135h.
Daily monitoring of the activities, readings and summaries of the contents developed with the aim of concrete the contents studied in the program.
Establish links between the theoretical contents of the exhibition classrooms and the observations and interventions made in the interactive classrooms.
Follow-up of the information and materials provided to the student, with the desire to facilitate and know the different teaching scenarios and the mechanisms necessary for their correct development.
Use the Virtual Campus of the subject for the development of the activities scheduled by the faculty.
Use tutoring, either face-to-face or virtually through the Microsoft Teams tool and through the tutoring forum that is enabled on the virtual campus when the teaching scenario hinders its development.
Contingency plan.
SCENARIO 2. Distancing.
Methodology:
- Exhibition teaching: the teachers will present and explain to students the main contents of the subject, encouraging the participation, debate and critical opinion of the students, both in the classroom and electronically, as required by health conditions. (In-person synchronous mode with alternate shifts in the classroom or virtual synchronous. Tools for telematics use: MS equipment and virtual campus).
- Interactive teaching: seminars that will consist of the conduct of group-written work and their subsequent oral presentation by all students, as well as the debate on the contents discussed in the field.
In-person synchronous mode with alternate shifts in the classroom or virtual synchronous, performing pptx and debate telematically. It will develop the analysis and resolution of practical cases / assumptions, as well as simulations or performative activities that integrate the learning of the contents of the subject.
Where assistance is not possible, interactive teaching activities will be developed using the institutional tools: Ms Forms, MS Teams and Virtual Campus.
-Tutoring: the student can request tutoring, preferably online, which will be developed using the relevant institutional platforms. In addition, a Public Tutoring Forum can be established on the USC Virtual Campus to facilitate the resolution of students' doubts collaboratively.
Evaluation system:
- Exhibition teaching: Compulsory attendance in the theoretical classrooms and conducting a written test where the knowledge acquired in all the activities developed by the students will be valued. It represents 60% of the final grade.
The test will be conducted in person, unless the teaching scenario requires them to be developed electronically, using the Virtual Campus or the MS Teams platform.
- Interactive teaching (seminars): represents 40% of the note. An evaluation of the content, structure and presentation of the group work carried out will be carried out. Analysis and resolution of case studies that will represent half of the final qualification of interactive teaching may be carried out, taking into account the individual work in the other activities proposed by the teaching staff (case resolution, simulations ...), so that a continuous evaluation of each student will be carried out, which will include evaluation elements of the following skills: CB2 , CG3, CG17, CT01, CT02, CT05, CT08 and CE01.
These percentages shall be maintained in both face-to-face and telematic synchronous mode.
