Know and analyze the main explanatory keys of Universal Modern History from the mid-seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth century.
Understand and interpret maps, graphs, texts and historical sources.
Work autonomously, with responsibility and initiative, developing information management, organization and planning skills.
- The expositive classes will be used for the explanation of the syllabus of the subject by the teacher with the support of those didactic resources that enable a better understanding.
- On the other hand, the interactive classes will be dedicated to the presentation and commentary of historical materials in the form of texts, maps, graphs or statistical tables, it is expected that the student will take an active part in the development of said classes through their participation with questions or reflections. .
- Likewise, the student must carry out and deliver the practical works that will be proposed in a timely manner.
- The personalized tutorials will be aimed at clarifying specific questions in relation to the tasks of the course, as well as trying to resolve any difficulties related to the subject.
- Field practices will be carried out, provided that financial resources are obtained for it.
- The Virtual Campus will be used to support the teaching of the subject.
- The qualification of the subject will result from the following sums:
1) written exam to be taken after classes finish,
2) practical work carried out and delivered throughout the course.
- In accordance with the regulations in force, the first of the aforementioned summands is given a value of 70% within the overall rating, while the second is given the remaining 30%.
Possible participation in activities of a historiographical nature organized within the framework of the Faculty's Centenary will be taken into account, provided that the student duly accredits their attendance.
- In any case, in order to pass the course, it will be an essential requirement to have at least a 5 in both addends.
- For the July exam, the passes achieved at the first opportunity will be kept, and in the event that the practical part has not been passed, all failed work must be presented, it being understood that all work not presented will be graded with a zero in the grade calculation.
- Under no circumstances will partial approvals be saved for successive courses.
- Students who obtain exemption from class attendance must take the written exam and the practical work with the same characteristics already indicated.
- It will be considered as "not presented" in the final grade to all those students who do not appear for the exam and who have not delivered any of the practical works.
- In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests (plagiarism and improper use of technological means), the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of academic performance for two students and review of qualifications" will apply.
Each hour of expository teaching should be accompanied by a complementary work of the student of approximately two hours, and for each hour of interactive teaching the student should apply an average of four hours of personal work. By virtue of this and the teaching load of the subject, it is estimated that the personal work time of the student should be established around 150 hours.
- Regular class attendance, whether in person or online, is considered a fundamental and irreplaceable condition.
-The reading of the recommended bibliography would serve to extend or complement the explanations received in the classes.
-It is also considered appropriate to make comments on texts and other historical documents (maps, statistical tables, graphs).
-The consultation of historical atlases and specific dictionaries should be something habitual.
-Always try to clarify any doubts that may arise, either in class or in tutorials.
1. It is considered necessary to have previously completed the subject of Modern History I.
