Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes will be dynamic, with short presentations and the constant presence of exercises that activate learning. Students' constant attendance and participation are required. The break out sessions allow the realization of reflection exercises, application and exploration of themes and contents.
Learning will be carried out through the development of practical work, individual and group, and through the reading and analysis of texts, viewing films and study visits to places considered relevant to the reflection of contemporary cyberculture.
The continuous assessment will be made taking into account the following criteria
(a) Individual work- 25%+25%. b) Group work - 50%.
