For the development of the teaching-learning process, different pedagogical actions will be developed that will allow the students to acquire the programmed competences. The theoretical classes will allow the teacher-student interaction to inform students of the competences and content of the subjects and show their concepts and fundamental theories. The students will develop fundamentally cognitive skills, of great importance so that they begin to develop their Individual and group work, which will be reviewed and structured for a correct orientation of its development in the time allocated to practical classes, supervised works and tutorials. Through these activities will acquire, above all, instrumental skills. The seminars, group work and individual students assignments will revert in the development of generic and attitudinal competences that permeate the entire teaching-learning process. With this, the teaching-learning process will be an active and significant process. The debates raised in classes, seminars and group work will allow students to be active and protagonist of their own learning process.

• Final test based on the theoretical and practical content: 70% of the final grade.

• Individual and in groups assignments. Short comments on articles, videos or other documents: 30% of the final grade

In the cases of a single final evaluation contemplated by the Evaluation and Qualification Standards of the students of the University of Granada (approved in extraordinary session of the Government Council of May 20, 2013), it may include a proof to ensure that the student has acquired all the competences described in this Teaching Guide, an end that -in his case- will be specified in the Teaching Guide of the subject (Please, contact the lecturer for this case)

It is forbidden to plagiarize or copy in documents submitted for evaluation. The students are obliged to observe the elementary rules on the authenticity of the exercises of evaluation and privacy of the same.

Any infraction in this sense will void any right that these rules recognize the student and, in accordance with current legislation, may result in the opening of the file and the corresponding penalty. (Regulation of teaching planning and the organization of examinations of the University of Granada: Title IV, Chapter I, Article 29).
