-Develop a scientific methodology specific to the History of Art and use the most appropriate historiographic tools.
-Be involved in the defense and conservation of cultural heritage.

In order to facilitate and rationalize the teaching of the subject, the following techniques will be used:
-Theoretical sessions, in which, using the master lesson and with the support of images, which may be through power point or videos, will be explained the different topics included in the program.
-Interactive classes, in which the students, in small groups or individually, will analyze texts and works of art representative of the period under study here.
-Field practice consisting of an outing through Santiago to comment on certain aspects of the architecture of the Contemporary Age that can be appreciated in the city.
-Individualized tutorials
The overall grade of the subject will be obtained in its 100% by continuous evaluation, so attendance to class is mandatory, including field practice. An absence of more than 20% will mean the impossibility of being evaluated at the first opportunity.
The evaluation will be carried out throughout the course using the following formulas: the activities linked to the interactive sessions will have an assessment of 30% of the final score; the written test (exam) will correspond to 70% of the final score. It is necessary to pass 50% of each part to pass the subject at the first opportunity.
In the event of academic fraud, as defined in article 42 of the Regulations establishing the rules of coexistence of the University of Santiago de Compostela and in accordance with the provisions of article 11. g) of the Law on University Coexistence, the sanctions provided for in the regulations will be applied. Premeditated behaviors aimed at falsifying the results of an exam or assignment include plagiarism and the non-consensual use of Artificial Intelligence tools.
Second opportunity (July call):
1.- Those who have carried out and approved the activities corresponding to interactive teaching may retain this qualification and only have to examine the subject taught in the theoretical classes.
2.- Those students who have not completed the activities corresponding to interactive teaching, or who have not passed them, will have to attend the second opportunity exam, which will include the subject corresponding to both the theoretical classes and the interactive classes.
3.- The students who are granted the dispensation of class attendance (following Instruction Nº 1/2017 of the Xeral Secretariat on the dispensation of class attendance in certain circumstances)shall be assessed with a specific final examination which shall constitute 100% of the qualification. Notwithstanding the above, in agreement with the interested party, the teacher may arbitrate the performance of substitute work for the interactive sessions, the approval of which would allow the student to take the exam in the first call.
