Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech The master class is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given by a teacher on special occasions, with content that involves original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a way of transmitting information to the audience.
Seminar Group work technique whose purpose is the intensive study of a topic. It is characterized by discussion, participation, the preparation of documents and the conclusions that all the components of the seminar have to reach.
Laboratory practice Methodology that allows students to learn effectively through practical activities, such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and research
Document analysis Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual and / or bibliographic documents (fragments of documentary reports or movies, current news, graphic panels, photographs, biographies, articles, legislative texts, etc.) relevant to the subject matter with activities specifically designed for their analysis. It can be used as a general introduction to a topic, as an instrument for applying case studies, for explaining processes that cannot be directly observed, for presenting complex situations or as a synthesis of theoretical or practical content.
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the teacher and in varied settings (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "how to do things." It is an option based on the assumption by students of responsibility for their own learning.
This teaching system is based on two basic elements: independent student learning and monitoring of that learning by the teacher-tutor
Oral presentation Intervention inherent in the teaching-learning processes based on verbal exposure through which students and teachers interact in an orderly manner, raising questions, making clarifications and exposing themes, works, concepts, facts or principles in a dynamic way.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates standard test test questions and objective test type questions.
As for essay questions, collect open-ended questions. In addition, as objective questions, you can combine multiple-choice, ranking, short-answer, discrimination, completion and / or association questions.

Assessment comments

The mixed test may include questions related to the contents addressed in any of the sessions, whether theoretical, practical or during the debates that occur in the presentations of works. 

 To pass the subject, a minimum score of 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10) in the mixed test is required. 

 Students with an academic exemption will have to take the mixed test and present a previously agreed work with the professors of the subject. The assessment will be 60% the mixed test and 40% the supervised work. 

 The evaluation criteria for the 2nd opportunity are the same as those for the 1st opportunity. If the student did not carry out the proposed work during the course, she must present a work previously agreed with the professors of the subject. The assessment will be 60% the mixed test and 40% the supervised work. 

 The evaluation criteria for the extraordinary call are the same as those for the 1st opportunity. If the student did not carry out the proposed work during the course, he/she must present a work previously agreed with the professors of the subject. The assessment will be 60% the mixed test and 40% the supervised work.

It will be graded as Not Presented in the entire subject in all cases that do not attend the mixed test. 

The fraudulent completion of exams or evaluation activities, once confirmed, will directly result in a failing grade in the session in which it occurs: the student will be awarded a 'fail' (numerical grade of 0) in the corresponding academic year session, whether the offense is committed during the first opportunity or the second. To this end, their grade will be modified in the first opportunity transcript, if necessary.
