This subject is taught in a blended format of the Degree in Sciences of Culture and Cultural Dissemination, therefore the methodology combines one hour weekly sessions and telematic training through the virtual campus of the USC, which is based on the Moodle platform.
Duirng the sessions, whose attendance is not complusory for students, the teacher will present the main lines of each subject, providing indications for self-study and student learning. Some of the sessions will be devoted to reviewing and deepening into specific aspects. All information provided and the materials used in the sessions will be available for students in the virtual classroom.
As for the telematic training, the student will have available through the virtual classroom materials for the preparation of each subject as well as bibliography and working papers. To check the progress of telematic learning, self-assessment tests and practical activities in the virtual campus will be made. The virtual platform will be used for the delivery and evaluation of individual jobs and to raise the possible doubts using specific tools (forum and private messages).
A) FIRST TIME ASSESSMENT SYSTEM.
Composed of the final test (50%), continuous assessment of theoretical and practical skills (20%) and the assessment of attendance, participation and application of practical skills (30%):
1) Theory test. On the appointed date for the official schedule approved by the Faculty will be a comprehensive written test. This test value computed for 50% of the final grade. The test score will be between 0 and 10 points; to be taken into account the student must obtain a minimum score of 5 out of 10.
2) Carrying out practical exercises throughout the course with a weighting in the final grade of 20%.
3) Attendance and participation in practical activities: monographic seminars. It will assess the capacity of synthesis and the oral presentation. The weight corresponding to this test in the final grade will be 30%.
The completion and submission of all previous activities is mandatory and without it not possible to pass the subject. For activities in the classroom sessions during the class period, not to support non-attendance should be offset by carrying out the work entrusted to it by the faculty. The positive evaluation of certain activities (test, individual and personal activities) may be retained for a chance to recover and/or during one academic year, provided there is agreement between the teachers of the subject. The fraudulent conduct an exercise or test required in the evaluation of matter involve the student to fail in the corresponding call, regardless of the disciplinary process to be tracked against the offending student.

3) Practical activities. If you have been previously positively assessed the rating will be preserved, otherwise must be reworked and presented at the date of examination. The weighting for this test in the final grade is 30%.

18 contact hours of lectures of which:

132 hours of study and independent work of students

Given the length and relative complexity of the contents of the course is recommended to devote time daily for its preparation, which should be carried out by reading and ellaborating schemes that allow the arrangement and ranking of the contents to facilitate study and assimilation. Similarly, it is almost essential reading general and specific literature provided by the teacher with the program to get a fuller picture of those topics dealt within the sessions. We also recommend the use of historical atlases, dictionaries and other information sources edited or digitized.
It is also convenient for students to carry out text, graphics, statistical tables commentaries to gain mastery of this discipline and a better understanding of the contents of the subject. Often it seems that students fall into the paraphrase or they forget completely of texts and writesabout the subject, copying of the notes received. The student must learn to organize the offered data, structure them and explain them properly.
In the realization of the bibliographic work and mandatory practical activities special care should be taken for both expression and presentation in the formal aspect, as well as personal creativity and scientific rigor.
