The learning will be based on lectures, class debates, readings, tutoring and projects. The main goal of this module is to lay the foundation and develop a critical analysis and critical thinking.

Calendar: 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.

Gender perspective: The content of the course will be sensitive to issues related to gender perspective and the use of inclusive language. The contribution of women to the discipline will be highlighted, and teaching methods and activities with a gender perspective will be incorporated.

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

The continuous assessment system for the subject is based on the following percentages:

- Individual course work, 50% of the final grade. The final work will be assessed on a topic related to the subject, according to the student's interests.

- Group presentations, 30% of the final grade. The group work will be assessed on a topic or reading related to the subject.

- Class activities, 20% of the final grade. Practical activities that can be carried out in class will be assessed.

Single assessment

This module does not provide for the single assessment system.

Continuous assessment resit

Students will have the right to recover 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 for the module. To be able to retake the module, you must have obtained an average grade of 3.5 or higher.

The retake test will consist of a written test to assess theoretical knowledge.

Not assessable

A student who has not submitted two or none of the three assessment tests will be classified as not assessable.

Plagiarism

In the event that the student carries out any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the quality of an assessment report, this assessment report will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be initiated. If there are several irregularities in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final mark for this subject will be 0.

Artificial Intelligence

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information research, text correction or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical review of how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The non-transparency of the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or higher penalties in serious 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.
