Learning activities and methodology

Title Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
Tutoring 15 0.6 CM07, CM08, CM09, KM08, KM09, SM08

- Learn by doing. The intention is to apply the knowledge in specific creative projects, under a practical and continuous creative direction by the teachers.

- At the same time that the student knows the different creative techniques of Advertising and Public Relations will create, by groups, from the creative strategy to the creative executions of different projects based on real briefs. And they will present them orally and in writing for approval.

-Each group must follow the published publications (national and international) on a weekly basis. And each week, two groups will present their “Ad of the Week” proposal.

A detailed schedule outlining the content of each session will be presented on the first day of the course and will be available on the course’s Virtual Campus, where students will find the various teaching materials deemed appropriate by the instructors and necessary information for effective course monitoring. Should the teaching modality change for reasons of force majeure according to the competent authorities, the teaching staff will inform students of any modifications to the course schedule and teaching methodologies.

Note: The course content will be sensitive to issues related to gender perspective and the use of inclusive language.

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

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
First Evaluation 33,33 5 0.2 CM07, CM09, KM08, KM09, SM08
Third Evaluation 33,33 5 0.2 CM07, CM08, CM09, KM08, KM09, SM08
Second Evaluation 33,33 5 0.2 CM07, CM09, KM08, KM09, SM08

This subject is continuously assessed and does not provide for a single assessment system.

The grade is the average between the partial grades of the different projects:

33,33%.-First evaluation- ( Project 1+ Christmas Project)

33,33%.-Second evaluation- (3 briefs Project)

33,33%.-Third evaluación- (360º Project + "Ad of the year")

You must have delivered all the weekly installments of the "Ad of the Week" in order to access the average of the Projects.


Use of AI tools.

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of assignment development, provided that the final outcome demonstrates a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. Students must clearly identify any content generated using AI, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these technologies have influenced both the process and the final result of the assignment. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.


Irregularities

The performance of any irregularity in an evaluation act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized by the teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, assumes that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide foresees that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this evaluation act or that there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be instructed to the student that incurs any of these irregularities.

Any student suspected of submitting assignments that have been generated by AI, written by others or copied; include unattributed AI-generated content, or fall outside the permitted scope, may be asked to provide the preliminary work or other materials that can demonstrate it is original work and the result of their own authorship. They may also be asked to separately explain or justify their work. Teachers may also use AI detection systems or carry out any verification tasks they deem appropriate. If, after review, the instructor detects irregularities, the assignment may be graded zero, and the student may be subject to further disciplinary action.


Recovery

Students will be entitled to the recovery of the subject if they have been assessed for the set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade of the subject.

Recovery activity: A multitouchpoint campaign project that will allow the student to recover 100% of the subject.

The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may undergo some modification depending on unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the course.


Consideration as "Not Assessable"

Students who have not completed at least 33% of the assessment activities planned for the course will be considered "not assessable", and this will be reflected in their final grade.
