Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

Active teaching / learning methodologies have been adopted in which students are called upon to intervene in class, to read, interpret and discuss basic theoretical texts, to critically analyze cultural products (literary works and films) and to prepare and present practical works, From the analysis of services and cultural assets available in the community and from practices developed by associations / institutions working on issues of minority integration, racism and xenophobia. The evaluation is done through activities that include moments of oral presentation and written, individual and group products: critical review (individual) - about a book, an article, a movie, a play, a documentary; In group) - as a conclusion of each of the points of the program: written empirical work (in group) - fundamentals (definition of concepts) / field research / analysis and oral presentation.

Teaching methodologies

Program management strategies

In managing this program the following types of activity are promoted:

- Plenary discussion sessions and / or small groups based on information provided directly by teachers or using the use of texts and other materials.
- Reading, discussion and analysis of fundamental theoretical texts provided by teachers
- Elaboration and presentation of empirical works aiming to deepen a chosen theme
- Reading and reflection on texts considered important for the domain of the issues addressed

Tutorial follow-up

The tutorial accompaniment will be implemented in a face-to-face modality, without prejudice to the use of the Moodle computer platform, where information about key program issues will be disseminated, bibliographic resources, the scheduling of meetings with the teacher, questions of study and reflection, etc.
The meetings with the teacher, which is compulsory for those who are part of a continuous evaluation process, will be in the number of 2 and may serve both to support the preparation of the works and to avoid possible problems in the students' learning.

Student Participation

Students should seek to be present in as many classes as possible and carry out the individual and group work provided for in the course program.

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

It is hoped that at the end of this UC, students will be able to demonstrate competences acquired in the following areas: (a) organization and management of information, evidencing the appropriation and use of differentiated and pertinent concepts for the issues in question; (B) production of texts of varying dimensions and problems; (C) public presentation of works; D) contextualization of the learning proposed by the discipline in the course and in the performance of its professional role.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

1. Continuous assessment
Students will be evaluated based on a set of activities developed during the semester. These activities will be organized so as to include moments of oral presentation and written benefits, as well as individual and group modalities. The option for the continuous evaluation modality presupposes the acceptance of certain conditions:
1.1. Obligation to carry out all the work components listed below.
1.2. Relevant and frequent intervention in class
1.3. Obtaining a classification of more than 5 values in each evaluation product / moment

The final classification of the subject is the result of the weighted average of the classification attributed to each of the work components and the participation in the classes. The student who presents a final grade greater than or equal to 10 values is considered approved in the continuous evaluation.

Work Components:

I. Thematic discussions (in group, can not exceed 4 elements) - 40% - to be carried out during the semester and always as a conclusion of each of the points of the program. The students will organize themselves so that there is always a group responsible for the dynamization of the exhibition, based on the texts indicated by the teachers, and another by the synthesis of presentations made by colleagues. This mode of operation implies the rotation between the groups. (See schedule)
Ii. Report on the work presented (individual) - 40% - on a book among those included in the bibliography or others suggested by the students and approved by the teacher.
Iii. Relevant and frequent participation - 20%

Empirical work - to be developed in several stages (see schedule):
1st stage
- choosing a theme and presentation of the choice to the faculty members of the CU;
2nd stage
- preparation of a project form which will include the justification of the choice made, a bibliographical research, an analytical summary of the bibliography, the objectives sought by the group, the strategies to be used, etc .;
3rd stage
- carrying out the work
4th stage
- oral exposition contemplating the following dimensions: (a) main concepts and their explication, (b) references to the authors and ways of approaching the theme, (c) postures with which the group identifies the most, (d) contents addressed, (E) methodology followed, (f) conclusions obtained and (g) lessons learned. The main objective of this exercise is to allow students to demonstrate the appropriation of a set of concepts considered essential and to facilitate the exchange among the students on the topics addressed by the different groups.
The option for the final exam may be taken from the beginning, it may be a resource for those who do not successfully complete a continuous assessment trajectory, or for those who wish to make "mark improvement" (see different exam times)
