With the aim of facilitating and rationalizing the teaching of the subject, the following techniques will be used:
- expository classes in which the theoretical contents will be explained. This is an in-person classroom activity;
- interactive classes in which the activities will be practical related to the theoretical contents of the subject;
- a debate session around historiographical topics of special relevance to understand the period and its current interpretations, with the support of audiovisual resources and other materials that complement the traditional vision of the discipline. This activity will take place at the faculty, on the day and time designated by the dean's office for field practices;
- personalized tutoring.
The distribution of activities is indicated below:
- expository teaching: 32 hours depending on schedule and group;
- interactive teaching: 16 hours depending on schedule and group;
- personalized tutoring: 3 hours planned according to schedule and group.
The evaluation will be continuous as stipulated in the report of the Art History degree. Since the evaluation is continuous, attendance and participation in the activities carried out in the classroom is mandatory, so an absence of more than 20% would make it impossible for the student to be evaluated at the first opportunity, except the students with exemption.
The evaluation will be carried out throughout the course and will consist of:
1.- Written test or tests on the theoretical and practical contents of the expository and interactive classes. These written test(s) will account for 60% of the final grade.
2.- Attendance and participation in the interactive sessions and the completion of the assigned work will account for 40% of the final grade.
3.- Students with exemption will take the written test or tests on the theoretical (60%) and practical (40%) contents of the expository and interactive classes
To pass the subject it is mandatory to obtain a minimum grade of 5 or higher as a result of the sum of all the evaluation activities. Furthermore, to be entitled to the sum of the expository part and the interactive part, it is a mandatory requirement to have achieved 50% of the maximum score in each of the parts.
Second chance (July call):
1.- Students who have carried out and passed the activities corresponding to interactive teaching will be able to keep this qualification and will only have to take the exam on the contents taught in the expository classes.
2.- Students who have taken and passed the test or tests corresponding to expository teaching but who have not done or have not passed the activities corresponding to the interactive teaching may keep the grade for the expository and will only have to repeat the part corresponding to interactive teaching, for which they will be given the opportunity of a new essay submission according to the instructions provided through the virtual classroom.
Each hour of expository teaching must be accompanied by complementary work by the student of about two hours with the help of bibliography, in order to carefully read the theoretical contents and assimilate them.
At the same time, for each of the hours of interactive teaching, the student must spend at least four hours of personal work.
Taking into account the teaching load of the subject and the estimations indicated above, it is considered that the student's personal work time should be close to 150 hours.
Although no specific prior education is necessary, it is recommended for admission to the degree in Art History in general and enrolment in this subject in particular that the student's training be of a humanistic profile.
This subject is closely related to those of History applied to artistic development I, History applied to artistic development III, Art History II, Art History III and Images and spaces in the medieval city.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades will apply.
It is also remembered that audio or video recording, or taking photographs, is not permitted during classes, without express authorization from the teacher.
