The oral exam will have a mixed character, and will be used to evaluate the learning of the contents of the lectures and the level of critical reflection achieved around them. In the objective part of the exam, special emphasis will be placed on understanding the contents, the ability to identify precisely the answers to the questions and the ability to respond with conceptual and linguistic precision, avoiding ambiguity and misunderstanding. In the questions that require reflection, the ability to synthesize, identify problems and personal reflection will also be valued. Correctness of expression will be relevant in the assessment. |

The seminars will deal with documentary sources, readings and cases that can be downloaded from Moodle. The assessment criteria will be the degree of understanding of the sources, the capacity for analysis, the consistency of the arguments and the quality of the presentations. Lack of participation and lack of accuracy in the preparation of presentations and speeches will be assessed negatively. The methodology of the seminars and the selection of materials for them are subject to the discretion of the lecturer responsible for each small group. Eventually, a written version of the students' interventions may be required. |

To pass the course, the sum of the marks obtained in the continuous assessment of the seminars and the marks of the oral test must reach 5 points. The two marks will not be added together unless at least 1.2 points (out of a possible 3) are obtained in the seminars; and 3.5 points (out of a possible 7) in the oral test. For students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation from attendance who cannot participate in the seminar sessions, the evaluation of the competencies corresponding to the seminars (30% of the final qualification) will be carried out by means of written paper. This alternative form of evaluation will also be available to students who, for justified reasons that must be appreciated by the coordinating lecturer of the course, cannot attend the seminar sessions. To do so, they must inform the professor of the circumstances that justify the exceptionality within the first two school weeks of the four-month period. If the circumstances are supervenient, they must communicate them as soon as they occur. Students who take the oral test in the second call or opportunity (July) will keep the grades of the seminars, if they have achieved at least 1.2 points out of 3. Students who do not achieve a score of 1.2 in the January evaluation of the seminars must take the alternative evaluation described above in the July call or opportunity. For those who do not achieve a score of 1.5 the renunciation of the mark of the seminars will be optional. |
