This subject includes two different types of activities: a set of lectures, linked to the content of the subject and a series of work sessions carried out in small groups and made up of by combinations of activities such as: seminars (reading and discussion of previously selected texts), workshops and presentation of lines of research, projection and discussion of audiovisual materials, etc.

N.B. The teaching methodology and assessment proposed may be subject to change depending on circumstances that arise during the semester. The teaching team will provide details via the Moodle classroom or the usual means of communication regarding the face-to-face or virtual/online format of the various guided activities and assessments, taking into account the faculty's instructions.

The competencies for this module will be assessed by the following methods:

1) Participation in the activities of the working sessions (30%). This evidence assesses individual understanding and application of theoretical content through the resolution of practical cases in class. Each session combines: 1) individual work with the development of responses and synthesis on the cases presented; and 2) a final space for monitoring the progress of group work (evidence 2), which serves as guidance and does not count towards the mark for this assessment. The mark is individual and is based solely on the completion of case studies and summary exercises. To pass, you must: a) attend a minimum of 80% of sessions; and b) achieve a mark of ≥4 out of 10 (as per the regulations for evidence with a weighting of ≥20%). Without 80% attendance, this evidence will be ungraded. This evidence counts for one-third of the assessable activities required to be eligible for a resit, provided you have participated in at least 5 sessions.

2) Group project (40%). This consists of a written assignment to be developed in phases during the practical sessions, with the support, guidance and supervision of the teaching staff, and to be completed outside the classroom in collaboration with the rest of the group members. As this is the longest-running activity throughout the semester, it requires continuous and active participation. To ensure the equal participation of all students, as well as the originality of the work, on the final day of the practical sessions (weeks 10–11) there will be a group presentation and oral defence of the work. This will be assessed as a group assignment and is due between weeks 10 and 11.

3) Multiple-choice exam (30%). An individual exam to be held during the second assessment period. The exam will assess the theoretical and practical content of the course, and will therefore include questions on the case studies analysed during the working sessions and discussed in class.

As per the Faculty's assessment guidelines, the definition of a pass in continuous assessment, on a 0-10 scale, mandatorily, must include having obtained a minimum score of 5.0 points and a mark of 4.0 or higher in each of the in-person assessment activities that contribute 20% or more to the mark for this continuous assessment.

The translation of the results of the in-person assessment tests will be provided if the requirements set out in Article 263 are met and a request is made online (e-form) during Week 4 (more information is available on the faculty website).

Passed: Evidence of achievement of the assessed competencies with a mark of 5 or higher.

Not Assessed: A mark for those who have not submitted evidence of learning worth 4 points or more (40%).

Feedback will be provided via Moodle for the final exam, with the correct answers being posted during the exam week. As for participation in the workshops, feedback will be given orally in class as the work progresses, on a weekly basis. For the final group project, feedback will be provided at the final project presentation in weeks 10–11.

Resit: This is available to students who, having participated in assessed activities worth at least two-thirds of the total marks, have achieved a minimum overall mark of 3.5 and have not passed the module through continuous assessment.

This will consist of a final examination covering all the material, and its mark will count as the final grade for the module.

The subject offers the option of a single examination. This will consist of a range of activities to be submitted in the second assessment period:

The same retake system will be applied to the single assessment as to the continuous assessment. The single assessment must be requested online (e-form) during the specific period (more information on the faculty website). This course does not include a specific synthesis assessment.

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total deduction of the activity grade, or more severe penalties in serious cases.
