The module aims to develop understanding and practical skills in Diplomatic, based around practical sessions. These will be accompanied by classes that review the theory and will use facsimiles of all the original diplomas. Students will be able to demonstrate skills in initiating and carrying forward an independent programme of practical archivist research, editing a collection of a few diplomas, under supervison of Professor. During the module, students will be encouraged to actively participate in class.

Seminar hours: The module will be taught through a series of weekly lecture workshops and seminars. They will be based on systematic study of primary sources prepared in advance and will involve student-led discussions and presentations. The emphasis throughout is on the acquisition and enhancement of specific skills.

Tutorial hours: tutorials and specific learning exercises (individuals or in a small group). You will be offered guidance about the preparation of the assessed tasks in individual tutorials.

Independent learning: to search archive documents, to be able to read diplomas, to write an essay addressing one of the course themes, self-study.

15 minutes of a class will be set aside, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to fill in surveys to evaluate the performance of the teaching staff and to evaluate the subject.

The Biblioteca d'Humanitats offers virtual courses aimed at getting to know documentary collections better, bibliographic reference managers or issues such as plagiarism or copyright. The teacher can include one of these courses as an activity: https://www.uab.cat/web/our-services/training-sessions-1345738247880.html

The continuous evaluation will be based on the activity in class (10%), the quality of the final work presented, which consists of the preparation of a short diploma (40%), and a two mid-term exams (25% + 25%).

The unique assessment will consist of three activities: the preparation of the regest of three documents of various types, the reduction to the current calculation of five timelines from the medieval and modern era, and a final exam. Students will be able to take part in the single assessment through the Academic Management dates. Single Assessment tests may coincide with dates reserved for continuous assessment. Recovery of the single assessment: the same recovery system as for the continuous assessment will be applied.

At the time of carrying out each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and the date of review of the qualifications.

The schedule of assessment tests cannot be modified (except in justified exceptional cases), and Erasmus students who request to advance an exam must submit a written document from their home university to the professor justifying their request.

For recovery, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total qualification (Continuous Assessment) or deliver all the scheduled tests (Assessment unique). Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the studentwill be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations (but not transcripcions). In the case of subjects in a Modern Languages degree, use of translation must be specifically

authorised by the teacher. Other specific situations may be contemplated, as deemed appropriate by the teacher. The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity.

Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity 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.
