SPECIFIC COMPETENCES
The student will be able to:
1 - Use the most appropriate historiographical tools.
2 - Develop a scientific methodology specific to the History of Art.
3 - Acquire skills in the use of new technologies.
4 - Design a comprehensive project for the knowledge, protection and dissemination of cultural heritage.
5 - Become involved in the defence and conservation of cultural heritage.
TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES
The student will be able to:
1 - Analyse and synthesise the knowledge acquired.
2 - Solve the professional questions that arise
3 - Work in a team
4 - Maintain and increase knowledge of the profession.
In order to facilitate and rationalise the teaching of the subject, the following techniques will be used:
- Lectures in which the theoretical contents will be explained.
- Interactive classes in which the activities will be practical and related to the theoretical contents of the subject.
- For the field practices, a one-day scheduled visit to some centres of interest for the contents of the subject is foreseen, even outside Santiago (in this case if funding from the USC-Faculty for a bus is available). If this is not possible, it will take place in the classroom.
- Personalised tutorials.
- In the expository and interactive classes, the most important aspects of the most representative lessons of the syllabus (contents) of the subject will be explained and dealt with, being, in any case, the totality of this and the explicit content of each one of them, object of evaluation through the different tests that will be carried out.
The final assessment will consist of:
1) A written test (exam), which will account for 60% of the final mark (6 points). In order to be added to the rest of the marks, a minimum of 50% of this mark must be achieved (i.e. a minimum of 3 points out of 6 points in the exam).
2) Participation in interactive classes (debates, comments on images and texts), and the completion and submission of a series of short practical assignments, including a review of a text. The sum of these practical tasks will account for 40% of the final mark (4 points). As in the previous case, in order to be added to the exam mark, a minimum of 50% of this mark must also be achieved here (i.e. a minimum of 2 points must be obtained in these practicals out of the 4 points involved).
FIRST CHANCE:
Students will take a written test (exam) on the official date set by the Faculty of Geography and History. The mark obtained in the exam -as long as it exceeds the stipulated minimum- will be added to the marks obtained in the interactivity, from which the final mark of each student will be derived.
SECOND OPPORTUNITY:
Students who do not pass or fail the first opportunity may opt for the second opportunity (with a maximum validity of 6 points). The mark obtained in the second opportunity -as long as it exceeds the stipulated minimum- will be added to the marks obtained in the practicals and assignments during the continuous assessment, from which the final mark of each student will be derived.
Students who do not complete or pass the seminars, practicals and assignments corresponding to the continuous assessment during the course must hand them in to the teacher at the place and time of the written test (exam) scheduled for the second opportunity (all seminars, practicals and assignments must be handed in by those who did not complete them previously for the first opportunity; or only those seminars, practicals or specific assignments that are missing or failed must be handed in by those who did not complete or pass them during the continuous assessment during the course). These seminars, practicals and assignments will maintain the maximum validity of 4 points in their totality.
Students who are granted dispensation from class attendance (according to the Instruction No. 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on the dispensation of class attendance in certain circumstances), will be evaluated with a specific final exam that will represent 100% of the qualification.
Para los casos de realización fraudulenta de ejercicios o pruebas será de aplicación lo recogido en la Normativa de evaluación del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes y de revisión de cualificaciones.
TIME SPENT BY STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM:
Expository teaching....................... 32 hours
Interactive teaching...................... 16 hours
Personal tutoring........................... 3 hours
THE REST OF THE HOURS CORRESPONDING TO THE 6 CREDITS WILL HAVE TO BE DEDICATED BY EACH STUDENT TO PERSONAL WORK AND STUDY IN ORDER TO PASS THE SUBJECT.
This subject is closely related to History, Literature and early Christian sacred texts.
It is advisable to have a good command of other languages such as English and French in their written dimension, which will facilitate access to certain bibliography.
