Attendance at the face-to-face sessions is compulsory.

At the first opportunity

- The activities and work carried out during the course and a written test will be assessed. The grade will be the weighted average of the marks obtained in each part, and a pass mark (5 out of 10) must be obtained in each part.

- A minimum attendance of 80% of the face-to-face sessions is an essential requirement. If this percentage is not reached, the activities/assignments will not be evaluated and the grade will be a failing grade.

In the second opportunity

- Students who attended at least 80% of the sessions will have to repeat the parts not passed (activities/works and/or written test).

- Students who had not reached the required percentage of attendance to the face-to-face sessions will have to present, individually, all the activities/assignments proposed throughout the course.

- In any case, the grade will be the weighted average of the marks obtained in each part, and a pass mark (5 out of 10) must be obtained in each of them.

Students with academic dispensation of exemption from attendance:

- They must inform the teacher (aurora.grandal@udc.es) during the first week of class.

- At the first opportunity, in addition to the written test, they will have to carry out, individually, all the activities/assignments proposed throughout the course and hand them in on the dates established by the teaching staff.

The final mark will be the weighted average of the marks for the activities and work carried out during the course and the mark for the written test, each part of which must be passed (5 out of 10).

- At the second opportunity, they must repeat the parts not passed (activities/works and/or written test).

In the case of fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, the current UDC regulations for these cases will be applied.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Exposición oral complementada co uso de medios audiovisuias e a introducción de algunhas preguntas dirixidas aos estudantes coa finalidade de transmitir coñecementos e facilitar a sua aprendizaxe
Document analysis	Técnica metodolóxica que supón a utilización de documentos audiovisuais e/ou bibliográficos (fragmentos de reportaxes documentais ou películas, noticias de actualidade, paneis gráficos, fotografías, biografías, artigos, textos lexislativos, etc.) relevantes para a temática da materia con actividades especificamente deseñadas para a análise dos mesmos. Pódese empregar como introdución xeral a un tema, como instrumento de aplicación do estudo de casos, para a explicación de procesos que non se poden observar directamente, para a presentación de situacións complexas ou como síntese de contidos de carácter teórico ou práctico.
Objective test	Proba escrita utilizada para a avaliación da aprendizaxe, cuxo trazo distintivo é a posibilidade de determinar se as respostas dadas son ou non correctas. Constitúe un instrumento de medida, elaborado rigorosamente, que permite avaliar coñecementos, capacidades, destrezas, rendemento, aptitudes, actitudes, intelixencia, etc. É de aplicación tanto para a avaliación diagnóstica, formativa como sumativa.
Collaborative learning	Conxunto de procedementos de ensino-aprendizaxe guiados de forma presencial e/ou apoiados con tecnoloxías da información e as comunicacións, que se basean na organización da clase en pequenos grupos nos que o alumnado traballa conxuntamente na resolución de tarefas asignadas polo profesorado para optimizar a súa propia aprendizaxe e a dos outros membros do grupo.
