The following procedures will be used in order to facilitate and streamline the teaching of the subject:
-Lectures will address theoretical contents. This is a classroom activity. In all sessions we will use computer presentations that will include: outline of the explained unit, maps, graphics, statistical tables and illustrative images. Students will have a detailed diagram of each unit, with the associated texts in each case and the relevant bibliography.
-Interactive lessons will deal with practical activities related to the theoretical content of the subject. They will be devoted to textual analyses prepared and presented by the students starting from working in groups, and monographic seminars on the basis of the common previous reading of a book on a significant subject matter. Moreover, we will include, as course activities, a visit to an archive and a tour of Santiago city, which, guided by the professor, will highlight the visible traces of its medieval origin and development.
-Personalized tutoring. In a small group, the professor will guide and energize the progress made by the students, in particular the elaboration of the textual analysis and book reviews assigned to each group.
Continuous assessment.
The presence and active participation in the activities carried out in the classroom is the main instrument for the attainment of the objectives of the course and will be taken into consideration as an element of the assessment. The fulfilment of practical activities and work in seminars will be the subject of a specific assessment. All students should submit a short written assignment (2 typed pages, maximum) on the readings done with a view to its discussion in a seminar and another (2 typed pages, maximum), about the text that they have had to prepare. The students will demonstrate the level of knowledge acquired in this area by means of a written test. The Final Mark of the course will result from the integration of the following elements: practical and seminar activities (40%), examination (60%).
According to the ECTS system, students are expected to devote a total of 150 hours to this subject. From these, 30% (45 hours) corresponds to activities in the classroom and the remaining 70% to personal work and in groups outside the classroom.
It is desirable that applicants have also studied the subjects: Medieval History I and Medieval History II.
It is advisable to have basic knowledge of Latin language and foreign languages in use in the scientific community.
Attendance at learning sessions will be always checked by the professor and there will be a written record of it. The professor will assess the students’ degree of assimilation and comprehension of the subject, through their participation in classes, seminars and tutorials.
