The course will combine theoretical sessions, practical sessions, and tutorials. Reading, writing, and critical analysis of philosophical texts will be carried out, and class debates will be organized. In the theoretical sessions, the teaching staff will introduce the fundamental concepts, tools, and procedures of each thematic block, encouraging student participation.

The practical sessions will focus on the use of the resources introduced throughout the course. Work will be conducted both individually and in groups, with the aim of progressively consolidating competencies. These sessions will promote active learning through cooperative work strategies.

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.

(40%) Part 1. Participation in class activities and practical sessions.

(20%) Part 2. Practical active learning activities: writing a text (opinion vs. philosophical argument) and peer review.

(40%) Part 3. Contextual analysis of a philosophical text whose authorship is initially unknown. In a first phase, students discuss in small groups from what standpoint the text speaks, what epistemic authority it constructs, and how they would situate this text within a philosophical bibliography. Once the authorship is revealed, each student individually produces a written analysis addressing the same questions.

• This course does not provide for a single-assessment system.
• The teaching staff will inform students about the assessment activities, as well as the procedure and date for reviewing grades (via the Virtual Campus).
• Erasmus students who request to take an assessment earlier must submit a written document from their home university justifying the request.
• To be assessed for the practical sessions, attendance of at least 80% is required. If this percentage is not met, the student will receive 0 points in this part. Practical sessions cannot be retaken.
• Participation will be assessed based on the timely submission of exercises, metacognitive reflections, and self-assessments in theoretical classes.
• In situations where, in accordance with Article 264 of the Academic Regulations and the corresponding supporting documentation, assessment tests scheduled for the first assessment period must be rescheduled, they will take place on the same day as the test for the second assessment period of the course or, if applicable, during the resit period. If the issue affects a test from the second assessment period, it will be rescheduled for the designated resit date without affecting the established process. In any case, considering the circumstances, the Degree Coordination, in agreement with the Course Coordination, may determine an alternative date if deemed appropriate.
• If a student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment activity, it will be graded as 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in assessment activities within the same course, the final grade will be 0.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

In this course, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations, when appropriate. If used, students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and the final outcome of a specific activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in partial or total penalties in the final grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases. The use of AI is not permitted during practical sessions unless explicitly authorized by the teaching staff.
