Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Supervised projects Supervised learning process aimed at helping students to work independently in a range of contexts. Focused primarily on learning ‘how to do things’ and on encouraging students to become responsible for their own learning.
Collaborative learning Guided teaching-learning procedures (using ICT methods) based on organisation of class into small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by teacher, with aim of optimising their learning experience and that of other members of group
Document analysis Research skills development involving use of audiovisual and/or bibliographical documents (documentary or film extracts, news items, advertising images, photographs, articles, legal texts, etc.) relating to specific topic of study, with targeted analysis activities. Used as introduction to topic, as focus for case study, to explain abstract processes and present complex situations, or as strategy for synthesising content (theoretical and practical).
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. In the case of distance learning, this methodology can be applied synchronously, through videoconferencing, or asynchronously by recording classes and making them available on the network.
Panel discussion Group dynamic technique in which students attend chaired debate among group of experts with different or opposing views on a particular subject. This methodology is applied through videoconferencing, in the case of distance learning,.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Collaborative learning
Description
The teacher guides the students in the preparation of a proposed topic so that the students can distribute the tasks necessary for the development of the topic.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Panel discussion B1 B2 B3 B5 B7 The following aspects will be assessed:
Presence, intervention and active participation in the debate.
Preparation of subsequent documents if requested to do so.
20
Supervised projects A13 B4 B6 B9 B10 B16 B18 C5 The elaboration process and the final result achieved will be assessed, taking into account the effort made and the final interest of the product achieved.
30
Collaborative learning B1 B3 B5 B7 B9 B10 B18 C5
Participation in the group and the result achieved will be assessed, which must be demonstrated by means of an exhibition or presentation of a document of an individual or joint nature.
25
Document analysis A13 B3 B5 B9 C4 C5 This activity can serve as a basis for both tutored work and collaborative learning. But it can also be independent of them. Students will be required to submit an individual work related to the sources analysed. 25
 
Assessment comments
<p>If for any reason it is not possible to carry out the Panel Discussion activity, its score will be transferred to the supervised work, in which case it may reach 50 points.</p><p>In addition to the above, other means of assessment may be agreed upon on an individual basis, taking into account personal circumstances, if the parties consider this to be reasonable.</p><p>Consideration will also be given to the possibility of applying co-assessment and self-assessment strategies in the final grade of the course.</p><p>For students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance, second establishes the "NORMA QUE REGULA El RÉGIMEN DE DEDICACIÓN Al ESTUDIO DE Los ESTUDIANTES DE GRADO Y MÁSTER UNIVERSITARIO EN LA UDC&nbsp; (*Arts. 2.3; 3.*b; 4.3 and 7.5) (04/05/2017):</p><p>&nbsp;If these students can participate telematically in the classes of the course, the same evaluation procedure will be followed as for the rest of the students.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;In the case that the previous condition is not met, they will have to arrange regular tutorials with the teacher at the beginning of the course, to follow the development of the subject through the completion of assignments, and to plan their delivery and presentation.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;If they do not pass the course at the first opportunity, they will have to take an objective test at the second opportunity.</p>
