With the aim of facilitating and rationalizing the teaching of the subject, the following techniques will be used:
- expository classes in which the theoretical contents will be explained. This is an in-person classroom activity;
- interactive classes in which the activities will be practical related to the theoretical contents of the subject;
- personalized tutoring.
The Virtual Campus of the subject will be used to support both expository and interactive teaching.
In addition, as a complement to what has been exposed in the classroom and for an approach to the Galician medieval past, field practices will be carried out in collaboration with the teachers of History of Art II, with an outing to Santa Eulalia de Bóveda, Santa Comba de Bande and San Miguel de Celanova.
The distribution of activities is indicated below:
- expository teaching: 32 hours depending on schedule and group;
- interactive teaching: 16 hours depending on schedule and group;
- personalized tutoring: 3 hours planned according to schedule and group.
Assessment will be continuous according to the stipulations of the History of Art degree. Given that the assessment is continuous, attendance and participation in the activities carried out in the classroom is compulsory, so that an absence of more than 20% in the interactive part would make it impossible for the student to be assessed at the first opportunity, except for students with exemption. Likewise, attendance to the theoretical classes will be positively assessed in the corresponding part (up to an additional 2%).
Pending that the USC provides an electronic attendance control system, this will be done by means of a paper-based signature control.
Assessment will take place throughout the course and will consist of:
1.- Written test or tests on the theoretical and practical contents of the expository and interactive classes. This/these written test(s) will account for 60% of the final grade.
2.- Attendance and participation in the interactive sessions and the completion of the assigned work will account for 40% of the final grade.
3.- Students who are granted exeption from class (according to the Regulations on Class Attendance in official undergraduate and master's degree courses at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, approved by agreeement of the Consello de Goberno on 25/11/2024) will be assessed by means of a written test on the theoretical contents (60%) and the submission of a written assignment equivalent to the one carried out in the interactive sessions (40%).
In ordewr to pass the course, it is compulsary to obtain a minimum grade of 5 or higher as a result of the sum of all the evaluation activities. In addition, to be entitled to the sum of the expository part and the interactive part, it is mandatory to have achieved 50% of the maximum score in each of the parts.
Second opportunity (July call):
1.- Students who have completed and passed the activities corresponding to interactive teaching but who have not completed or have not passed the test or tests corresponding to the expository teaching may keep this qualification and will only have to take the exam on the contents taught in the expository classes.
2.- Students who have taken and passed the test or tests corresponding to expository teaching but who have not done or have not passed the activities corresponding to the interactive teaching may keep the qualification of the expository classes and will only have to repeat the part corresponding to the interactive teaching, for which they will be given the opportunity of a new essay submission according to the instructions provided through the virtual classroom.
Each hour of expository teaching must be accompanied by complementary work by the student of about two hours with the help of bibliography, in order to carefully read the theoretical contents and assimilate them.
At the same time, for each of the hours of interactive teaching, the student must spend at least four hours of personal work.
Taking into account the teaching load of the subject and the estimations indicated above, it is considered that the student's personal work time should be close to 150 hours.
Although no specific prior education is necessary, it is recommended for admission to the degree in Art History in general and enrolment in this subject in particular that the student's training be of a humanistic profile.
This subject is closely related to those of History applied to artistic development I, History applied to artistic development III, Art History II, Art History III and Images and spaces in the medieval city.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and review of grades shall apply.
In the case of academic fraud, as defined in Article 42 of the Regulation establishing the rules of coexistence of the University of Santiago de Compostela and in accordance with the provisions of Article 11. g) of the University Coexistence Act, the sanctions provided for in the regulations will be applied.
Premeditated conduct aimed at falsifying the results of an exam or assignment includes plagiarism and the unauthorised use of Artificial Intelligence tools.
It is also reminded that it is not permitted to record audio or video, or to take photographs, during classes, without the express authorisation of the teacher.
