As well as the support of the theoretical frameworks, the exhibitions and the readings that are considered necessary, this subject is essentially planned as a space for practical training with the objective that each participant can improve their communicative competence.

The seminars in small groups are spaces for working in small groups with diverse activities (case studies, material analysis, group dynamics, etc.) delving into the content of the subject. The supervised activities are tutorials to follow up on the activities, both in person and virtually. The autonomous activities are individual and group autonomous work hours.

Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, according to the calendar established by the center/degree, for the complementation by the students of the assessment surveys of the professor's performance and the assessment of the subject /module

Attendance at directed activities is mandatory to achieve the objectives of the course. In order to be assessed, students must attend at least 80% of all sessions in each block. If this is not met, the student may attend the re-assessment. If passed, the final grade will be a 5 (out of 10).

This course does NOT offer the option of single assessment.

Students with voice problems who do not provide a medical diagnosis and/or report of the re-education process cannot be assessed. Consequently, they will fail the Body and Voice part of the course.

The assessment will take place throughout the academic period. To pass the course, students must pass both of its components. Since the assessment is continuous, students must submit a minimum number of tasks to be evaluated. Students who do not present the minimum required evidence (e.g., failing to submit two tasks or not showing evidence of having started a diagnostic process for voice issues) will not be assessed.

50% of the final grade comes from an oral presentation demonstrating the strategies learned, assessed by teachers from both areas.

33.5% corresponds to discourse strategies activities (preparation and delivery tasks, individual and group-based).

16.5% corresponds to Body and Voice activities (content quizzes, classroom tasks, and/or individual reflective work).

At the end of the course, students will have the opportunity to recover any unmet objectives. Depending on the case, recovery may involve additional independent work or redoing some of the submitted or performed activities. To pass the course, students must pass both components (Body and Voice and Discourse Strategies) and obtain a minimum score of 4.5 in the oral presentation.

Faculty will return, review, or grade submitted work within a maximum of 20 working days (academic calendar). Grades for each piece of assessed work will be published on the Virtual Campus. Students wishing to review a grade must do so within 15 days of its publication, during the instructor’s designated office hours for this course, which are listed in the course syllabus.

This course allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies as part of project development, provided that the final result reflects significant student contribution in analysis and personal reflection. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using such technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and outcome. Lack of transparency in AI use will be considered academic dishonesty and may lead to penalties in the grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Copying or plagiarism—whether in assignments or exams—is a serious offense that will result in a zero for the activity and no right to re-assessment. In case of repeat offenses, the student will fail the entire course. \"Copying\" is submitting a work that reproduces all or most of a peer’s work. \"Plagiarism\" is presenting all or part of a text by another author as one’s own without citing the source, whether in print or digital.

To pass this course, students must demonstrate good general communicative competence, both oral and written, and good command of the course’s working languages as indicated in the syllabus.

In the case of Catalan, students are expected to have C1 level competence in the first and second years. From the third year onwards, they must have demonstrated competence equivalent to level C2.

Students enrolling for the second time may opt for a synthesis test consisting of an oral presentation and a written exam covering both the Body and Voice and the Discourse Strategies components.
