Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech · Master session: Explanation by the teacher of the contents of the subject in the classroom (if in person). It will be complemented by visual support materials - schematics and presentations in Power-Point. The objective of these sessions will be to provide, develop and guide students in knowledge about the contents, theories and complexities of culture's phenomena, and to stimulate participatory debates about all this. An added objective will be to promote the recognition of the diversity characteristic of how cultural phenomena manifest.

Under conditions of face-to-face, regular attendance at the course is recommended, with reference to the use of what has been given in the face-to-face sessions.

In non-in-person conditions, the master session will be conducted through sessions through the Teams app (for the two larger groups), and providing summaries of the different themes of the program through the Moodle platform
Objective test · The objective test will consist of a written test, at the end of the quarterly course, on the knowledge achieved by the student, which will consist of the argumental development supported by ethnographic examples, from a small thematic list provided by the teacher. Basic knowledge of cultures will be valued from the anthropological angle, the ability to recognize social complexity, the capacity for analysis and synthesis and attitudes towards cultural diversity.

Under conditions of face-to-face, regular attendance at the course is recommended, in reference to the preparation and subsequent evaluation of this objective test.

If the online completion of the test is specified, it can be carried out as a 'task' to be developed through the Moodle platform, and will consist of the development of two headings of the subject's agenda, followed by two ethnographic examples.
Summary The summary will consist of the elaboration by the student of a single work of summary and critical commentary elaborated on the sociocultural argument and the technique of elaboration of two ethnographic films, selected by himself, from more than twenty that will be projected in the classroom during the course (in conditions of presence), or - alternatively, whose links will be provided weekly through Moodle by the teacher, for viewing and autonomous analysis (under conditions of non-face-to-face). It will be delivered in mid-late December.
Directed discussion Directed discussion: presentation and discussion in class, during group practice sessions, of texts selected for their theoretical-ethnographic value, in line with the thematic unit that is developing at that time, and in which after the presentation of a schematic summary of the text developed by groups of 3-5 students, everyone can intervene with comments to aspects of that reading. It will be valued how it is critically and committedly argued.

Under conditions of face-to-face, regular attendance at the course is recommended, with reference to participation in, and evaluation of, targeted discussions.

In case of non-in-personity, groups of students will replace the class presentation of the text assigned to them, with small collective works with a maximum length of five pages, to which you can add conceptual maps of the subject matter. These papers will be sent by Moodle to the teacher, the date on which the presentation would have been due.
