4. Academic activities
The core of the subject is the programming project of a subject of the student's choice according to their discipline. The work will be individual and should include an in-depth reflection on the different curricular options.
In addition, critical reflection seminars will be held in which different curricular orientations. methodologies, etc. will be discussed.
The breakdown of the methodologies to be used is as follows:
Master classes 23h. 100% face-to-face
Practical classes (analysis, discussions, etc.) 22h. 100% face-to-face
Directed work 30h. 10% face-to-face
Individual study 72h.
Evaluation test 3h 100% face-to-face
In the first week of the subject, the teacher will communicate the tasks to be developed and the delivery schedule.
5. Assessment system
The subject will be evaluated on a continuous or global basis, at the student's choice on the first days of class.
5.1 Global evaluation, second and subsequent calls:
1. Written examination. 8 open questions on curriculum and instructional design in Social Sciences, Economics or Philosophy.
(40% of the grade)
2. Curricular reflection dossier. (30% of the grade)
3. Programming project. (30% of the grade)
The content and specific headings of both papers will be addressed in the first week of class and will be posted on Moodle available to all students.
Students who choose this option will not have any formative deliveries and may be called to an oral defence of their work
5.2 Continuous evaluation:
1. Participation in two debates. 7.5% each.
2. Curricular Reflection Dossier. 35% of the grade
3. Programming project. 50% of the grade
Requirements:
Attendance to the evaluable discussions is mandatory. Only in the case of medical justification will a single discussion be averaged. Any student who chooses this evaluation must summarize, orally, the main lines of both papers and answer the questions asked.
All students will be able to take the global evaluation, even if they initially choose the continuous evaluation. Late submission of papers will result in a "no-show".
In any case, as part of the evaluation, the teacher may request, randomly or whenever they deems it appropriate, the oral defence of the written test or assignment, for the verification of the grade.
Finally, it must be taken into account that the Regulations of the Rules of Coexistence of the University of Zaragoza will be applicable to irregularities committed in the evaluation tests through academic fraud, as well as the application of article 30 of the Regulations of the Rules of Evaluation of Learning in relation to irregular practices other than academic fraud.
