Calendar of Continuous assessment

It involves continuous assessment procedures (attendance to class, participation, submitting of review works, etc.).

These procedures will allow evaluating competences related to: understanding, research analysis and exposure, case studies and problem-solving, and the ability to investigate, apply appropriate research methods, think and act creatively and communicate with the group.

The evaluation of the subject will consist, fundamentally, of the delivery of a research work, oriented and presented in class, will will qualify as 60% of the final grades. This final work could also be presented as videoessay.

The remaining 40% will be assessed according to class attendance and participation and to reading and critical reviews.

In accordance with the new transitory teaching model approved by the Governing Council, for teaching of the University Master's Degree in Applied Research in the Media, a face-to-face mode has been selected. However, in case of returning to the exceptional measures the situation will be solved by adapting the contents to the virtual environment. Within this scenario, the final works and their corresponding presentations will make use of these virtual tools, and additional mechanisms of continuous evaluation will be enabled to allow a more adjusted assessment of the students' work.
