In-person methodology
The teaching methodology to be used in the teaching of the subject is as follows:
Classroom work:
1. Lectures. Lectures refer to a presentation by the lecturer of the theoretical contents of the subject, orientation of the students on basic and advanced readings, as well as complementary sources of information and the establishment of guidelines and keys for carrying out the theoretical-practical tasks.
2. Continuous assessment Assessment is an integrated part of the teaching-learning process. In this subject there will be continuous assessment that will combine the submission and presentation of assignments. In addition, teachers will give feedback on the students progress.
Work or activities outside the classroom:
3. Autonomous work by students. The autonomous work of students consists, on the one hand, of reading selected texts and preparing outlines, summaries, concept maps, etc. based on them; and on the other hand, of preparing individual work , especially essays and oral presentations.
4. Tutorial sessions. All students will have the possibility of requesting individual or group tutorials, by appointment, from the teaching staff. These tutorials may be aimed at resolving doubts regarding both the content and the preparation of the assignments.
Written work
The written work will deal with an issue, work or author related to the subject, by prior agreement with the teacher. Personal research, the appropriate use of textual sources, the approach taken to the work, the correct writing and application of the formal conventions of an academic work will be assessed. 70%
Oral presentation. Classroom oral presentation on one of the texts of the course. The ability to defend ideas publicly, the ability to go deeper into the philosophical question addressed and the clarity of exposition will be assessed. 20%
Active participation in the classroom. Interaction between the students and the teacher will be assessed; the ability to listen, show empathy, understanding of other peoples positions; the ability to suggest questions, answers, alternatives, objections, with a sense of appropriateness; the ability for specifically philosophical dialogue and the correct use of philosophical vocabulary; and the ability to make contributions that mean progress in the development of the class and in relation to its objectives. 10%
EXTRAORDINARY EXAM SESSION:
The assessment criteria are the same as in the ordinary exam, so all the assessment activities considered in the course must be provided. Marks will be kept for all the activities carried out, pending the completion of any pending activities. The same weighting criteria will be applied in this assessment as in the ordinary assessment.
