Teaching and learning activities
In person
We will function as an audiovisual production company and students will devise, record and produce different audiovisual pieces. Classes are held on set in order to get the maximum number of hours of real practice.
| TRAINING ACTIVITY | ECTS CREDITS |
| Lectures. In lectures, lecturers/professors not only transmit content or knowledge, but also, and above all else, attitudes, motivation, skills and values, etc. They also ensure that participants can express their opinions and arguments to the other students. | 0.8 |
| Focused Praxis. Handing in occasional exercises to learn theory through practice. | 0.4 |
| Practical workshop. A highly practical working activity, where students can acquire skills that are practical or also theoretical (intellectual skills, logical skills, critical skills, intellectual learning skills, study skills, quoting skills, etc). | 2,2 |
| Peer learning. The aim of this activity is to ensure that students gain the ability to analyse and be critical. One way of achieving this is by correcting their peers' exercises and results, etc. Each student will be evaluated twice: as both a recipient and a transmitter of critical knowledge. | 0,6 |
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
The assessment will be based on different assignments that students will have to submit in groups and where the documentation provided, the concept of making each piece and the final result will be evaluated.
The exercises and weights are:
