This module follows a hybrid format, combining theoretical lectures delivered by the instructor and in-class collaborative work on practical case studies. These sessions will deepen the understanding of theoretical aspects and key concepts from the syllabus.

This seminar-style approach and learning methodology actively engage students. Course content will be acquired primarily through:

• Reading and discussing selected texts.

• Analyzing and debating proposed audiovisual materials.

Active participation requires personal commitment to prepare assigned readings and viewings beforehand to contribute meaningfully to in-class discussions.

As a postgraduate course, independent work plays a significant role in the methodology. Tasks will be completed both individually and in collaborative groups. Students will also participate in peer assessment of materials generated during seminars.

The module has a dedicated Moodle classroom, where the activity schedule and teaching materials will be published.

Each instructor may assess students through one or more assessment activities (paper, presentation, or exam), which will be specified at the beginning of the course. The overall grade for each block (Participation + Assessments) will contribute to the final grade in the same proportion as the percentage of teaching sessions devoted to that block.

• Musicology and Digital Humanities (30% + 30%)
• Music Research in the Natural and Social Sciences (20%)
• New Musicology: Gender Identities and Social Class (20%)

At the time of each assessment activity, the instructor will inform students (via Moodle) of the assessment procedure and the date for reviewing grades.

If the assessments cannot be conducted in person, their format will be adapted (while maintaining the same weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual learning tools. Assignments, activities, and class participation will take place through forums, wikis, and/or exercise discussions via Teams, etc. The instructor will ensure that students can access these resources or will provide alternative means within their possibilities.

Submission of one of the assignments or attendance at one of the written examinations will count as an "in-person" assessment activity for the course. Therefore, only students who have not completed any assessment activity during the course may be classified as "Not Assessed."

If a student does not achieve the minimum passing grade (5/10), they may take the resit assessment for all four assessment items by resubmitting the assignment, repeating the presentation, or retaking the examination on the date and at the time established by the Faculty.

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text proofreading, translations, and other similar uses expressly authorized by the teaching staff. In any written assignment, students must clearly identify which parts were prepared with the assistance of AI and specify the tools used. A lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in an assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade for that activity.

If a student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade for an assessment activity, that assessment activity will be graded 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT:

• For the single assessment, four pieces of evidence will be considered: two for the first block and one for each of the other two blocks, drawn from at least two different assessment formats (paper, presentation, or examination).
• Each instructor will specify the characteristics of the assessment evidence corresponding to their block at the beginning of the course.
• The weight of each of the four assessment items in the final grade will be 30%, 30%, 20%, and 20%, respectively.
• The same resit assessment system as for continuous assessment will apply.
