Workbook |
Conxunto de referencias bibliográficas concretas (seccións de manuais, capítulos de libros, artigos, etc) seleccionados pola profesora para a preparación dos distintos contados da materia |
Workshop |
Modalidade formativa orientada á aplicación de aprendizaxes na que se poden combinar diversas metodoloxías/probas (exposicións, simulacións, debates, solución de problemas, prácticas guiadas, etc) a través da que o alumnado desenvolve tarefas eminentemente prácticas sobre un tema específico, co apoio e supervisión do profesorado. |
Supervised projects |
O alumnado terá que presentar por escrito e expoñer oralmente un traballo individual ou en grupo pequeno na data que se acorde. Os obxectivos, características, material de apoio e formato de presentación do traballo serán explicados na aula ao comezo do curso. |
Oral presentation |
Consistirá na exposición oral do traballo tutelado ou de parte del. Se o traballo se fai en grupo o alumnado poderá desenvolver a capacidade de traballar de xeito colaborativo |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Probas que integran preguntas abertas e preguntas obxectivas de resposta breve ou múltiple. Poderanse facer ao longo do curso ou nunha única proba final na data oficial proposta pola Facultade (esto último será obrigatorio no caso de que non se superen as probas mixtas feitas durante o curso). |

Assessment comments |
IMPORTANT In order to pass this course, a minimum of 5
out of 10 in the final mark is required. A score of 4 out of 10 is the
minimum required in each of the parts of the course (workshop/supervised
projects/oral presentation/mixed test). Deadlines for
assignments are strict. Late arrivals will be penalised, unless they are
duly justified. Pieces of work including plagiarized material will be
marked with 0. Very active participation in the different
activities, as well as all the extra-credit material carried out by the
students during the course, could be awarded up to an extra 5% of the
final mark. This can include voluntary work, alternative readings or any
other activity proposed and accepted by students and teachers. The students who do not attend the official exam will be given a grade of NP
(absent) if they have not handed in more than 50% of the continuous assessement
activities. July opportunity: Those students who are absent from or fail the official examination session
or those with less than a 4 in each of the parts (even if the average is
superior to 5) will have to sit for the "second opportunity exam session"
in July, where students can retake those parts they have failed, according to the following distribution of percentages: Supervised project (corpus) (15%), oral presentation (15%), submission of written tasks similar to those evaluated during the course (20%), mixed test (50%). Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity. Students who are officially registered as part time, and have been granted
permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this
University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the
same criteria specified for the second opportunity. ADI is a university office specialised in attending to members of the
university with special needs due to discapacity or other differentiating
situations with regard to the rest of the community. Students can talk to Dr.
Ana Veleiro for more information, or contact ADI directly at
