Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The teaching methodologies articulates with the learning objectives of the curricular unit on investigative and creative dimension. We believe that the fact that students have to search on the ground allows the implementation of the proposals for more inclusive of animation different areas. Students have the opportunity to present their research in a way attractive, challenging and appropriate, profiting from theoretical knowledge in different areas. Staying on the ground will, on the one hand, allow a global perspective of popular culture, on the other, complement the bibliographical research and give greater consistency to reading, interpreting, as well as individual and collective written productions.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

Assessment and classification
I) continuous evaluation-attendance and class participation, research papers, reading and literary and musical interpretations. (30%)
II) summative evaluation-group 1 (written) (40%). Oral presentation of written work (30%)

Attendance system

Participation of students
Each student is expected to: (a) be assiduous (can only miss one class from each of the three modules) and participate in the discussion of the issues under review, as well as in group work; (b) read, review and be prepared to discuss the texts and support submitted auditions; (c) perform the work programmed. The lack of attendance will be a deterrent to a continuous assessment, the student is required to submit himself to examination at the end of the semester.
