Teaching and learning activities

The subject combines lectures, case studies, topical comments on cultural policies and an oral presentation of a team work.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

The evaluation criteria will be as follows:

1. An essay about the Cultural Policy of a city. 30%

2. An essay about the Local Cultural Policy or privat institutions. 30%

3. Dosier of the course 30%

4. Participation class 10%

The final grade will be the average of the parcial marks

In this subject it is very inportant to make proper use of the language in the written tests, papers and oral presentations, both from the point of view of grammar and spelling and punctuation and wording. A proper use of terms specific to the discipline is also of special relevance.

The criteria to be followed before any of these errors is as follows: 0.25 will be lowered for misspelling or incorrect words in essays and exams.

2 Plagiarism is taking the ideas written by another person and presenting them as if they were one's ideas, without citing the author. Plagiarism (the term comes from the Latin word for 'kidnapping') is misleading and dishonest. Examples of plagiarism: copying, paraphrasing or summarizing someone's words without properly citing the source and without the quotation marks  when citing is made.

To avoid plagiarism, you must cite the source whenever ideas written by another person are used and although the quotation is not literal and paraphrase or summarise someone else's ideas. In the literal or direct quotations one must use quotation marks and cite the source. In an academic work, it is not sufficient to state generally the literature used, but to explicitly mention the source where there ideas written by someone else come from

Plagiarism in written work of this subject is unacceptable and, therefore, any work in which plagiarism is committed will be evaluated with a zero.
