| Methodologies | Description |
| Workshop | Practical activities in which different tests are combined: readings, debates, analysis of secondary sources, problem solving, roll play, these are practices carried out with the support and supervision of the teacher of the subject, which will go through all the phases of the development of a research project, and therefore will serve as a guide for the correct completion of the Supervised projects. For online students, these activities will be adapted to be carried out and monitored remotely through the tools provided for this purpose in the Virtual Classroom. Attendance will be taken into account by means of logging in and participating in the tools provided in the Virtual Classroom, complementary to the practical part: workshop, supervised project and oral presentation. |
| Oral presentation | The research project (tutored work) must be presented orally, through the telematic channels indicated by the lecturers. In the case of online students, attendance will be taken into account by means of logging in and participating in the tools provided in the Virtual Classroom, complementary to the practical part: workshop, supervised project and oral presentation. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The Guest lecture is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given by teachers on special occasions, with a content that involves an original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the spoken word as a means of transmitting information to the audience. The session will be complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the combination with workshop activities, with the aim of transmitting knowledge and facilitating learning. Students' participation will be motivated and valued, through questions and/or debates. The lecturers will introduce the different contents of the subject in lecture sessions, the content of which will be made available to students online in the Virtual Classroom of the subject. Support documents (textual, audiovisual, etc.), together with the presentations used, will be available on the virtual platform. In order to assess the presence of students in the lecture sessions in distance mode, the consultation of the materials in the virtual classroom will be taken into account, as well as the participation in the asynchronous tools complementary to this methodology. |
| Supervised projects | Methodology designed to promote students' autonomous learning, under the supervision of teachers and in a variety of scenarios (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "how to do things". It is an option based on students taking responsibility for their own learning. This teaching system is based on two basic elements: independent learning by students and monitoring of this learning by teachers. The tutored work consists of the elaboration of a complete applied social research project, taking into account all the phases, as well as the ethical issues for its elaboration. For students in distance mode, or with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance, the work will be done individually, and must also be submitted in writing (through the system enabled for this purpose in the virtual classroom) and exposed through telematic means. Students in this modality will have precise instructions and rubric for its elaboration, different from those of face-to-face students, which will be published in the Virtual Classroom of the subject. The monitoring and guidance by the teachers will be done through forums for doubts about the development of work, as well as group or individual tutorials through the Teams platform, as stated in the section on "personal attention" of this teaching guide. Attendance will be taken into account by means of logging in and participating in the tools provided in the Virtual Classroom, complementary to the practical part: workshop, supervised project and oral presentation. |
