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 perform and discuss, in groups, on art market or art collecting.
- 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 coordinated with other courses (provided there is a budget for it), and they will have one of these options as their destination: a) Allariz, Xunqueira de Ambía, Santa Mariña de Augasantas, Celanova; b) Valença, Tui, Oia, Baiona; c) Lugo, d) A Coruña; e) Pontevedra . The realization of a study visit will be compulsory and evaluable.
Assessment of the course will be held from the sum of the following items:
- Examination: it has 60% of the final grade.
- Attendance and participation in interactive classes: 20%
- Essay (in grup): 20% account.
To pass the course it is necessary to perform the tasks of practical classes and deliver the final work. Both the theoretical part (exam) and the practical (attendance and group work) must be passed, reaching 50% of the total in these two parts.
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:
