The lecture sessions used as master classes will be used to introduce the basic contents of the topics that make up the syllabus, highlighting the most relevant aspects and the relationships between them. They will be used for classroom activities of expository type that do not require an active participation of the students and in which, therefore, the number of students per group is not a critical factor for its development.
The interactive sessions in small groups will be devoted to present and discuss the results of the work done by students on topics previously raised by the teacher. That is to say, face-to-face activities that seek or require active student participation: text commentaries, interpretative analysis of materials and historical data chosen by the teacher, seminars, etc. The personal work activities of the students include, in addition to the time dedicated to study, the realization of the activities indicated by the teachers.
The Virtual Campus is used with the available support material. This subject has a teaching guide available to students in the Virtual Classroom.
Students will be graded according to a continuous evaluation process. The evaluation system will take into account all the activities developed by the students: active participation in the proposed activities (text commentaries, interpretative analysis on materials and historical data chosen by the teacher, guided exercises, tasks or questionnaires, presentation and presentation of work, written exam, etc.) and will be based on the realization of periodic controls of the evolution of the learning process and acquisition of competences.
The continuous evaluation will include:
a) Class participation, practices, work and tests carried out throughout the semester (30% of the final grade). The following competences are assessed in this part: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CG3, D6, D7, CT1, CT3, CT4, CT6, CT8, CT9, CT10, CT12, CT13, CT14, CT15, CT16.
b) An exam at the end of the course (70% of the final grade). The following competences are assessed in this part: CB1, CB4, CG2, A3, A7, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT8, CT15.

In order to pass, a grade equal to or higher than 5 points must be obtained in the final exam.
Students who have been granted exemption from class attendance must take a final exam on the course syllabus based on the basic bibliography. This exam will represent 100% of the grade.
The evaluation conditions will be exactly the same in the different opportunities (January and March/July).
At the end of the academic year, students who do not pass the course must abide by the rules established in the syllabus for the following year. Therefore, the grade for any part of the course will not be retained for subsequent years.
According to the USC Residence Regulations for Undergraduate and Master studies (art. 5.2), the mere attendance and/or participation in any of the activities included in the evaluation means that the student's final grade will be other than NOT PRESENTED.
The exams will take place on the date and time set by the Faculty.
In order to take the exams, it is compulsory to present an official identification document: ID card, university card, passport, etc.
Further details on these basic criteria will be provided throughout the course.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or exams, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and review of grades will be applied.
