Since the beginning of the course, the Virtual Classroom of the subject will be active; here, the students will be able to consult the progress of the theoretical and interactive classes, deliver the tasks and communicate with the teacher and the class.
During the lectures, we will consider the theoretical contents regarding the planned topics. The interactive classes will be dedicated to the study of practical cases and works of the subject that will be presented in class for debate and discussion. One and the other methodology are not dissociated, but rather complement each other for the development of the subject.
The monitoring of the activities will be carried out through a schedule of deliveries, so that the students can organize their own study time. The teacher will monitor progress through the Virtual Campus registration reports.
The teacher will attend to the doubts that may arise during class hours and in the hours of individual tutorials. A "Public tutoring forum" will also be active in the Virtual Classroom.
The assessment system for the first and second chances consists into two mandatory components:
1) Knowledge and skills assessment test: on the date established by the Faculty of Geography and History, a final face-to-face assessment test will be carried out(complementary to continuous assessment). It will compute 40% of the final grade.
2) Continuous evaluation of interactive practical activities, which will be individual and group ones. It will compute 60% of the final grade. In this component, the active participation of the students in the classes.
All activities will be delivered through the Virtual Campus.
If the average does not result in a grade above 5, it is necessary to face the second assessment opportunity.
For students with an academic dispensation granted, deliveries equivalent to those of students without dispensation will be required and the exam will be mandatory.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the one set forth in the Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións.
