Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Oral presentation Core component of teaching-learning process involving coordinated oral interaction between student and teacher, including proposition, explanation and dynamic exposition of facts, topics, tasks, ideas and principles.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.)
Objective test Written learning progress test, characterised by pre-determined answers. Well-designed tests offer objectively quantifiable results in relation to student knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitude, intelligence, etc. Used for diagnostic, formative and summative assessment. May consist of all or any of the following types of questions: multiple choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion, multiple matching.
Seminar Group work technique aimed at in-depth exploration of given topic, consisting of group discussion, individual engagement, preparation of texts and collective conclusions.
Supervised projects Supervised learning process aimed at helping students to work independently in a range of contexts (academic and professional). Focused primarily on learning ‘how to do things’ and on encouraging students to become responsible for their own learning.

Assessment comments

The student with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance will be evaluated through the grade obtained in the final exam (80%) and the completion of supervised work (20%).

For the evaluation of the second opportunity, the same continuous evaluation activities can be carried out as during the course.

Fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities will directly imply a fail grade of '0' in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities for the extraordinary call.

Recommendations Sustainability Environment, People and Gender Equality:

To help achieve a sustainable environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and environmentally and socially sustainable teaching and research" of the "Ferrol Green Campus Action Plan":

1.- The delivery of the documentary works that are carried out in this matter:

1.1. It will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support.

 1.2. It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.

1.3. If done on paper: - No plastics will be used. - Double-sided prints will be made. - Recycled paper will be used. - The printing of drafts will be avoided.

2.- The sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.

3.- The importance of ethical principles related to the values ??of sustainability in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account.

4.- In accordance with the different applicable regulations for university teaching, the gender perspective will be incorporated in this matter (a non-sexist language will be used, the bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used, intervention in class of students and students...)

5.- Work will be done to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes, and the environment will be influenced to modify them and promote values ??of respect and equality.
