- To learn how to communicate Information and Ideas in a clear and Effective Way in Public.
It will develop 4 Types of Different Activities:
-Lectures will address the classes taught by the professor in order to present theoretical contents.
-Practical classes will enable the student to achieve skills and knowledge through his/her individual work and presentation in class.
-As regards practical seminars, all student’s tasks -study, assignments, readings, exercises, presentations…- will be guided by the Professor and will be aimed at the completion and presentation of assignments either individually or in a group.
-With regard to tutorials (for single students or very small groups), we will pay attention to students in order to talk about specific issues related to their tasks or try to solve any other difficulty of the student or group of students related to the subject.
The First Day of Class the Students will find informed about the practical activities they must do.
Exist the possibility of taking into account activities related to the anniversary of the faculty.
- 65% is concerned with a Final Examination to be held on the date fixed by the official calendar prepared by the Registrar and Secretary’s Office of the Faculty, in which the student must answer questions related to the programme contents covered in the lectures, which will count for 40% of the Final Mark.
In order to pass the course the student has to obtain a minimum score of 5 out of 10 in this examination. If in this theory part, or even in the interactive one, the student obtains less than 5, he/she will fail the course.
35% of the Final Mark is obtained through the different student’s scores on the tests and activities related to the interactive classes. Any work or activity that has not been handed in will be assigned a mark of zero.
-Only those students who have not sat the examination or carried out any activities or tasks of the interactive part will be regarded as “No-show”.
*Stage of assessment of july:
-Students who had obtained in the interactive classes an average score equal to or greater than 5 will keep the mark until july.
-If a student fails the subject but passes the exam (a score of 5 or higher), his/her mark will be kept, also for july ,and it will not be necessary for him/her to repeat the exam, although he/she must develop the interactive part, regardless of the mark obtained in this.
-With regard to the interactive tasks marked taking into account oral presentations or non-written tests, the professor will indicate what type of specific activity replaces them in the July assessment stage.
-The task related to "interactives" activities for jully will be a written exercise. Professor will specific it just finishing the ordinary period of classes.
In the case of fraud in the exams the authorities will be based in the rule "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións".
Apart from the Hours that must invest in the Attendance to the Practice and Expositive, Interactive Classes and the Tutorials is estimated that the Student must occupy a Total of 100 Hours of the Credits in Study Activities, Work Drafting and Preparation of Activities in much Reduced Group.
Reading of the Recommended Bibliography by the Teacher; Attendance to Classes and Tutorials; Ordered and Uniform Distribution of Time that must devote to the Study and Work Elaboration to avoid the Precipitation of Last Hour, as much in the Expositions as in the Written Exam. The Participation in Debates and Exchange of Ideas, as much in Classes as in Tutorials, is basic to get a positive Qualification. This implies a Work of previous Preparation that can not be more than the Result of a Continuum and Systematic Labour along the Four month Period.
In the case of fraud in the exams the authorities will be based in the rule "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións".
In the case of academic fraud, based in the "42 article of Ley de Convivencia de la USC (march 2023)", it is considered the application of sanctions concerned in base of 11 article about plagiarism in academic works or exams or, even, using utilities of Artificial Intelligence.
