The teaching methodology combines centrally master classes with case study visits, readings, practical group exercises, tutoring, supervised work to perform exercises and work development.
Students throughout the development of the module make case study visits to specific experiences. Prior to the visits, the students receive master classes, and complementary audiovisual material and readings, with the objective of contributing theoretical and analytical elements to be put into practice or contrast in the visits.
After the case study visits, students receive a master class in which they analyze, debate and contrast the elements addressed in the visit.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written evaluation Case 7.1 | 50% | 25 | 1 | CA13, CA14, KA13, KA14, SA13, SA14 |
| Written evaluation Case 7.2 | 50% | 25 | 1 | CA13, CA14, KA13, KA14, SA13, SA14 |
Upon completion of the module, students must submit written work on the contents addressed in the master classes and case study visits.
The note will be determined by the level of coherence in the argumentation of the answers based on: the contents presented in class and in the visistas, the complementary materials (readings / audiovisual) and the debates generated in the argumentation of the answers based a: the contents exposed in class and in the visistas, the complementary materials (readings / audiovisual) and the own debates generated in class and within the framework of the case study visits.
Students have the spaces in the center where classes are taught to promote sharing and shared reflection when doing their work.
Prior to the presentation of the end-of-module work, students will perform a collective tutoring on the work to be delivered, and once they have been evaluated.
Attendance at the activities programmed in this module (two case study visits) is mandatory, the absence of any of them must be justified and may not exceed 20%.
It will be considered that a student obtains the Not Abaluable qualification when he has attended less than 80% of the sessions programmed in the module. Students who do not attend the case hearings cannot be evaluated.
