Since the subject is part of a Plan to be discontinued, it does not include face-to-face teaching.
Since the subject is part of a Plan to be discontinued, the final grade for the subject consists exclusively of a single written exam on the officially set date (100% of the final grade).
All hours corresponding to this subject will be the student's personal work.
- Students should have a humanistic profile.
- Capacity to read in some foreign language commonly used in science within the sphere of modernist studies.
- This course seeks to increase students’ knowledge in a specific field of Modern History, in which the basics on the big cultural, religious and scientific movements must be known from the previous years. Therefore, students are advised to read the specialized bibliography, with the aim of keeping pace with the lessons and seeing, in real time, the application of different methodologies to sources which, in turn, are diversified. These readings must take into account those magazines specialized in this field.
In order to gain control of text analyses, graphics and tables, special attention must be paid to this kind of contents in the bibliography. It would be advisable to make en effort to gather this kind of material personally in order to examine it and apply theoretical recommendations. Consulting specialized websites, such as that of “Voltaire Foundation” and others linked to centres for the study of culture and which are well accredited, may be a useful contribution.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the Evaluation of Student Academic Performance and Grade Review" will apply.
