Students will be able to:
- Analyze and synthesize the knowledge acquired.
- To use the collection management tools.
- To develop critical analysis of development of collections by institutions.
- Getting involved in the protection and preservation of cultural heritage.
The development of the classes is always made from the contents of the program, and will consist in the following elements:
- Lectures, which through the teacher's explanations and analysis of texts, students can acquire the theoretical knowledge and they would discuss in class.
- Interactive, or seminary classes, in which students will carry out analyses of reference texts and other materials provided by the teacher, leading to discussions.
- Visits to collections or talks by professionals, through which students will be able to talk with specialists in this field. We will prepare (as long as there is a budget) to carry out field practices coordinated with other professors of 4 Degree, which will be compulsory and evaluable.
- Study visit: it is planned to carry out (coordinated with the remaining subjects of the first semester of fourth-year course) to visit towns such as Monforte de Lemos, Pontevedra, Tui and Valença, Allariz and Celanova, A Coruña, and Lugo (subject to funding). These experiences will be mandatory for all students enrolled in the course and will be assessed. The destinations may be modified within Galicia according to the needs of each subject.
Assessment of the course will be held from the sum of the following items:
- Examination: 60% of the final grade.
- Attendance and participation in interactive classes: 25%.
- Final paper: compulsory, it counts for 15%.
In order to pass the course, students must have completed the tasks proposed in the interactive classes and the final project. The latter will be done in a group and is compulsory. Likewise, both the theoretical part (exam) and the practical part (interactive classes and final project) must have been passed, reaching 50% of the mark in both cases. Attendance to the interactive classes will be taken into account and will count for up to 15% of the total mark. A register will be taken in the classroom.
There will be a study visit in Santiago de Compostela, which will be compulsory for all students, and which will be evaluable.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the university and the review of qualifications will be applied. The same will apply to proven cases of plagiarism in the works presented by the students.
OPPORTUNITY JULY:
Those students who had not performed the activities for interactive or not teaching had approved, they will have to answer in the July exam a Question higher, relative to those seen in the Interactive content. These contents will be available previously in the Virtual Classroom of the subject. In case the students have not presented the final project on the scheduled date, they will have a second opportunity in July, with a project to be determined by the teacher. The percentages for the July evaluation will be maintained: theoretical part 60% and practical part 40%.
DISPENSATION
Students with dispensation of class attendance (following the ‘Regulamento de asistencia a clase nas ensinanzas oficiais de grao e máster da Universidade de Santiago de Compostela’, approved by agreement of the Consello de Goberno de 25/11/2024) will be evaluated with a specific final assessment that will represent 100% of the grade. In this test, the grade will be distributed as follows: paper (40%), exam (60%).
