In the subject will work through different teaching methodologies. At the beginning of each unit there will be
a master class where the teacher will introduce certain basic concepts and contextualize the student in the
historical-artistic moment. From here, the student will have a series of audiovisual material and didactic
activities based on the active methodologies with which he will acquire the knowledge of the different
stylistic periods and the specific vocabulary of the discipline. From the beginning of the course the student
will be presented with a group project to develop throughout the course and to present orally and in writing
at the end of the course.
MD 1: Master Class with the support of audiovisual material.
MD 2: Seminar.
MD 3: Flipped classroom.
MD 4: Real events.
MD 5: Project-based learning.
MD 6: Peer Instruction
Standard evaluation:
As an eminently practical subject, the evaluation is based on the timely delivery of the corresponding works
to the exposed subjects.
Practical part Seminars / Workshops + Continuous evaluation: 90%
Exercise 1 (10%) + Exercise 2 (10%) + Exercise 3 (10%) + Exercise 4 (20%) + Exercise 5 (10%) + Exercise 6 (30%)
Final mark will be complete by adding Campus Week Project 10%
Special evaluation: There is no special evaluation
In cases of exceptionality (accident, illness ...) In case standard evaluation is failed, students have the option to pass
the subject by passing a special
evaluation exam.
Criteria for standard and special evaluation:
In the event that the exams, exercises or works to be delivered by the student do not present a correct
written, grammatical and orthographic expression, the maximum grade will be a 4.
If the conditions are not fulfilled for passing the convocation, the maximum grade will be a 4. The student will
have the right to review the exam grade (evaluation) on the day assigned by the professors. Upon this
revision, the student?s grade may improve or decline.
