Description |
| Supervised projects |
The student will select, to carry out his supervised work, one of the following thematic options:
1. Perception, classification and emic experience of disability, and its specific sociocultural conditioning factors. The specific conflict and negotiation process involves specialists and disabled people.
2. Models, response and alternatives in the sociocultural construction of the categories disease / cure / health, or disability / treatment / integration, and of the specialist / patient or specialist / disabled roles.
The methodology will consist of a small study of the chosen topic, from the student's own professional, healthcare or training experience, supported by the empirical description of some cases associated with one of the aforementioned topics, and developing an interpretation that takes into account social processes and cultural that operate around this phenomenon of disability. Due to the characteristics of the course, the object and objective of the study will be very specific, and the scope of the analysis limited.
The blended students will receive information and tutoring regarding the preparation of the work, either by online means (email, news in Moodle), or on the occasion of one of the two face-to-face meetings to which they will be called during the semester.
In circumstances of general non-attendance due to the pandemic, for their work, the student will be able to carry out the empirical survey of real cases with online tools, or replace them with the design sketch of an empirical survey based on semi-structured interviews or life history.
Both in classroom and non-classroom conditions, the work will be prepared and delivered in digital document, in Word or PDF format, sent as a 'task' in Moodle or via email. The delivery will take place at the end of the course (December). |
| Objective test |
It will consist of the conduct of a thematic examination through questions with short answers, the day and time marked for this purpose by the organization of the master, and with a maximum hour of duration of the test.
Under conditions of face-to-face normality, the conduct of this examination will be mandatory for semi-presence students and/or for students who do not attend at least 2/3 of the master sessions (under face-to-face conditions).
Under non-in-person conditions per contingency plan, the attendance count of face-to-face students will be estimated until the time of confinement, so that the test will remain unsused for those who have attended at least 2/3 of the effective face-to-face sessions up to that point, and continue to attend virtual master sessions through Teams.
The objective test will be carried out in person on the day of the official call.
The materials for the preparation of the test will be provided by the teacher, as the topics of the program are taught, in the form of summaries of what was given in the master sessions, sent as documents in Word or in Power point through the Moodle platform. The objective test will be done in person on the day of the official call.
The materials for the preparation of the test will be provided by the teacher, as the topics of the program are taught, in the form of summaries of what was taught in the master sessions, sent as documents in Word or in Power point through the Moodle platform. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Presentation in class by the teacher, relying on power-point projected diagrams, of the subject matter of each of the ten program topics. Clarifications and dialogue on controversial or particularly interesting aspects of the subject presented.
In the non-attendance contingency due to the pandemic, the master sessions will be taught through conferences on the Teams platform, convened during the time slot assigned to the subject in the weekly schedule, and will be accompanied by sending the students, via Moodle. , from the summary of the corresponding topic, at the end of the virtual teaching of the same |
| Workbook |
In the case of face-to-face students, reading, summary, presentation in weekly sessions -each assigned to 1-2 students-, and open debate in class of a total of 15-20 readings referring to topics of anthropology of disability and dependency .
In the case of blended students, the text reading about health, disability or dependency, instead of being the subject of oral presentation in class, will be delivered in writing for evaluation in the form of a digital document with a summary and evaluation of the article that be assigned personally, of a maximum of 8 pages in length, and that also includes the conceptual maps that reflect the theoretical-argumental and ethnographic treatment of the content.
In a situation of general non-attendance arising from the measures against the pandemic, the 'readings', instead of being the subject of exposition in class, will be summarized, valued and provided with concept maps, carried out in writing in digital format, and delivered via Moodle or email in the week and day of the semester that each student had assigned his presentation in class (distribution that is made at the beginning of the course) |

The three texts for the preparation of the reviews will be provided in digital format and sent to all the students (face-to-face and blended) through the Moodle forum, so that each student submits a review of each text at the beginning of each month, sending it in Word or PDF format through the same channel (Moodle forum).
The same procedure will be followed in case of entering general conditions of non-attendance. |

| Description |
The personalized attention will consist of the orientation and follow-up, through tutoring, of both the preparation of the supervised course work, as well as the preparation of the readings to be exhibited, the preparation of the bibliographic review and -for blended students- in the orientation on doubts and difficulties raised in the preparation of the matter for the objective test.
For personalized attention, email will be used (on Monday and Wednesday mornings), as well as the Moodle forum (every teaching week of the course), especially in the case of students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption exemption from attendance, for which face-to-face meetings convened in two moments of the semester will be dedicated.
Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption must develop the methodologies provided for the remaining students, submitting the indicated work (supervised work, readings and bibliographic review). But he will be exempt from attending the lectures, as well as it will be compulsory for him to undergo the objective test at the end of the course. |

The final written test will try to assess the theoretical knowledge obtained from attending to the substitute theoretical materials of the face-to-face classes. It will consist of answering ten questions of short answer, based on the readings on the contents of the program. It is compulsory for blended students and for those who do not attend at least 2/3 of the sessions.
It is not a methodology to be developed or compulsory evaluation in the case of face-to-face students. In these cases, the qualification percentage of the 'objective test' is distributed adjusting it among the other methodologies under evaluation, in the proportions expressed in the "evaluation observations".

Assessment comments |
- The blended students, or those who do not attend at least 2/3 of the sessions of the course, must compulsorily carry out the objective test, as well as the other methodologies contemplated, although only the first will be done in person. - Regular assistant students may voluntarily choose to take the objective test. If they choose not to do it, supervised work will mean 50% of the grade, readings 35% and bibliographic reviews 15% - The students who present themselves to the second opportunity call must do so in those methodologies not passed -or not presented and should be done- in the first call. In this case, only the objective test of the 2nd call will be face-to-face, while the other methodologies will be covered by sending the corresponding works in digital format, and via Moodle or email.
-The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of failure '0' in the matter in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary call |
