1. Theoretical classes: these are master classes in which the teacher will present the overall thought of the author of the text and will frame it within the history of philosophical thought. At the same time take the opportunity to comment on the fundamental characteristics of the text to be read.

2.Reading of the texts: practicum. it is necessary that the student makes a first individual reading of the texts that will be worked on in class collectively (the day indicated by the teacher), pointing out the ideas that he has understood and the difficulties he has encountered

3. Collective rereading in class of the most relevant fragments, or that have presented some difficulty, and discussion of key concepts. The teacher will guide the class based on the contents and doubts that arise from the reading made by the students.

4. Critical analysis of the fundamental ideas of the global text: the students will present in the classroom a critical analysis of the texts, an activity that will be valued, and which in turn will allow a collective discussion supervised by the teacher. The ability to argue clearly, ordered and with some difficulty will be assessed.

5. Critical thematic debate: the ability to substantiate the arguments themselves will be valued, as well as respect for the diversity of opinions, that is, they must be criticized with respect but with solid reflections.

Directed activities: They will be adapted, if necessary, in whatever percentage, to virtual teaching, through the various existing systems (Teams, narrated powerpoints, videos, podcasts, etc.).

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

• Oral presentation: instructions will be provided at the beginning of the course (25%).
• Exam 1: will consist of short-answer questions and a text commentary (25%).
• Essay: instructions will be provided at the beginning of the second part of the course (25%).
• Exam 2: will consist of short-answer questions and a text commentary (25%).

The Department of Philosophy may establish a period in which assessment activities are concentrated. At the beginning of the course, students will be informed whether such a period will take place and of the dates of the assessments.

The oral presentation and the essay cannot be reassessed. To be eligible to take the re-evaluation exam, students must have completed 60% of the course requirements and earned a grade of at least 3.5 in the continuous assessment.

To pass the course, the grade for each exam must be at least 5 out of 10. If it is lower, students will be required to take the reassessment examination.

Students who do not complete at least 30% of the continuous assessment activities will receive a grade of Not Assessable.

Single Assessment

The three assessment components will be completed/submitted on the same day.

• Essay (30%).
• Oral presentation (30%).
• Exam: will consist on short-answer questions (40%). The mark must be at least a 4.

The same reassessment system as for continuous assessment will apply.

Review of Grades: At the time each assessment activity is carried out, students will be informed of the procedure and date for reviewing grades.

Academic Misconduct: Any irregularity committed by a student that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade for an assessment activity will result in a grade of 0 for that activity, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.

Use of AI: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted in this course. Failure to disclose the use of AI in an assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in a grade of 0 for the activity, with no possibility of reassessment, and may lead to more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Exchange students who request to take an exam early must submit to the professor a written document from their home university justifying their request.

In those situations where, in accordance with Article 264 of the Academic Regulations and the supporting documentation that justifies them, assessment activities scheduled for the first assessment period must be rescheduled, such activities shall be rescheduled and held on the same date as the assessment activity corresponding to the second assessment period of the course or, where applicable, during the resit assessment period.

If the circumstance affects an assessment activity scheduled for the second assessment period, the activity shall be rescheduled to the date established for the resit assessment period, without affecting the resit process established for the course.

In all cases, taking into account the specific circumstances, the Degree Coordination, in agreement with the Course Coordination, may determine an alternative date if deemed appropriate.
