In class, concepts and debates will be introduced, and texts will be commented on. It is essential that students come to class with texts previously read.

As a supervised activity, Research Based Learning (RBL) will be used. Students are expected to prepare a conference to be presented in a philosophical congress at the end of the course. It will be worked together with the course Philosophy of Illustration. Instructions will be given at at the beginning of the course.

Virtual Campus will be used to share materials and as a communication channel.

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.

Continuous assessment

• Partial exam: on mid-semester, date to be set at the beginning of the course.
• Conference and participation at the congress: guidelines will be given at the beginning of the course.
• Final exam: will consist on short questions and a text commentary

It is possible that the Department of Philosophy will establish a period dedicated to evaluative activities at midterm. It will indicate whether such a period exists or which are the test dates are at the beginning of each course.

In order to pass the course, the mark for the final exam must be at least a 5; if it is lower, it will be necessary to re-evaluate. If the average mark on the continuous assessment is less than 5, it will be necessary to re-evaluate.

To be eligible to take the re-evaluation exam, students must have completed 60% of the course requirements and earned a grade of at least 3.5 in the continuous assessment.

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

Single assessment

The three tests will be carried out/delivered on the same day.

• Written assignment (paper) (20%).
• Oral presentation and discussion of the paper (30%).
• Final exam: consisting of short-answer questions and a text analysis (50%).

The same re-evaluation policy will apply as for the continuous assessment. Students must have completed all required activities to be eligible for the re-evaluation exam.

Assessment review: On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

Plagiarism or fraudulent conduct: In case of any irregularity by the student that may lead to a significant variation of the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardlessof thedisciplinary process that may be applied.

IA use: This subject does not allow the use of AI technologies. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.

Exchange students who request to take an exam early must submit to the professor a written document from their home university justifying their request.

In situations where, in accordance with Article 264 of the Academic Regulations and supported by the relevant supporting documentation, exams scheduled for the first assessment period must be rescheduled, these exams will be rescheduled and administered on the same day as the exam for the corresponding course in the second assessment period or, if applicable, during the re-evaluation exam period.

If the incident affects an exam in the second assessment period, it will be rescheduled for the day designated for the re-evaluation exam, without this affecting the re-evaluation process established for the course.

In any case, taking into account the prevailing circumstances, the Degree Program Coordination Office, in consultation with the Course Coordination Office, may determine an alternative date if it deems it appropriate.
