1. Lectures delivered by the teacher, who presents the essential aspects of the subject through oral explanations supported by PowerPoint presentations, structures the course content, and provides the specific bibliography most appropriate for exam preparation. In certain cases, and prior to the presentation of some topics, students will be required to read selected texts in order to facilitate a flipped-classroom approach.
2. Attendance at a seminar coordinated by the lecturer and delivered by specialists in the field.
3. Group written project on a topic from the course syllabus (The Impossible Museum), followed by an oral presentation.

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

The course will be assessed through the following components:

• Two written examinations: 25% each.
• Group written project and oral presentation: 30%.
• Attendance at the Conference on Music in Antiquity (1 December): 10%.
• True/False test on the required reading: 10%.

.

Written Examinations (2)

These examinations will assess all course content covered in the lectures.

The final mark for the written examinations will be calculated as the average of the two exams. A minimum average grade of 5/10 is required. Students who fail to achieve this minimum grade must take the resit examination for the failed component(s).

Single Assessment

• Final examination: 50%.
• Mandatory reading test (title to be determined): 25%.
• Critical reading and review from a gender perspective: 25%.

The same resit regulations apply as for continuous assessment. The mandatory reading test and the critical review are not eligible for resit.

The same criteria for the grade of “Not Assessed” (NA) apply as for continuous assessment.

The review of the final grade follows the same procedure as for continuous assessment.

Important Information

At the time of each assessment activity, the lecturer will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for grade review.

Students will receive a grade of “Not Assessed” (NA) if they have not participated in at least 50% of the assessment activities.

Resit Assessment

A resit examination will be offered during the final days of the semester exclusively for students who have failed one or more of the written examinations. Students who did not sit the original examinations on the scheduled dates, or who have already passed them, will not be eligible to take the resit examination.

The resit examination only allows students to pass failed examinations, with a maximum possible grade of 6/10.

Neither the oral presentation nor the critical review may be resat.

The individual written assignment may be resubmitted after incorporating the corrections indicated by the lecturer.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or information searches, text editing, proofreading, and translation.

Students must clearly identify any content generated using AI tools, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these technologies have influenced both the process and the final outcome of the assignment.

Failure to disclose the use of AI in assessed work will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade awarded for the activity, as well as more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Penalties for Academic Misconduct

Any irregularity committed by a student that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade awarded for an assessment activity will result in a mark of 0 (zero) for that activity, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated.

If multiple irregularities are detected in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0 (zero).

Assessment activities affected by academic misconduct will not be eligible for resit under any circumstances.
