Through theoretical and practical teaching, students are expected to achieve the following skills:
1. Mastery of the theoretical programme
2. A basic domain of the bibliography and current trends in the Modern History of Galicia
3. Basic knowledge of the main documentary sources - locating them, seeing their possibilities of using them-
4. Introduction to research with primary sources
5. Directing the implementation of the obtained knowledge to the practical teaching or to the work in archives, libraries, museums and all activities related to the conservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage of Galicia
6. Domain of oral skills when presenting assignments and participating in discussions
Lectures will deal with the programme content.
Theoretical and practical teaching will be taught face-to-face.
Interactive classes will consist of the development and commentary of tables, graphics, charts, maps... and the commentary of historical texts.
Each student will do a practical assignment on bibliography or archival documents.
Field practice will include the visit to archives, libraries, museums and exhibitions.
There will be a Final Exam on the date fixed in the official calendar of the Centre, and in which the student must answer several questions related to the issues explained during the course lectures. This examination will count as 40% of the Final Mark, and it will be taken into consideration if the student obtains in the above-mentioned examination a score of at least 5 out of 10.
The remaining 60% of the mark will be distributed as follows:
(a) 5% as a result of the student’s assistance at different classes.
(b) 55% will come from the score obtained by the participation of the students in interactive lessons, culminating in the submission of one or several assignments. In order to calculate the arithmetic mean taking into account the score of this part and the one of the previous examination, all assignments, without exception, must achieve an overall average score of 5 out of 10.
The following criteria will be taken into account for subsequent chances:
1.- Students who have submitted all the practical assignments and have obtained an overall average score of at least 5 out of 10 will have no obligation to resubmit them. These students must pass only one examination on the issues explained in the lectures in the corresponding examination period.
2.- Students who had not submitted all the practical assignments or had not attained the minimum required score during the ordinary course, will have to hand in at the time of the examination in the second (or successive) examination sessions a minimum of two-thirds of the practices carried out during the course. We will not assess the examination of those students who do not submit their assignments.
Any student who has not showed up for the exam and who has not submitted any of the practical work will be assigned a “No-show” in the Final Mark.
Classroom work:
1. Full group activities: lectures, conferences: 30 hours
2. Small group activities: colloquia, discussions, oral presentation of assignments, visiting archives, etc.: 15 hours
3. Tutorials in very small groups: consultation of published works, organization of working groups, assignment guidance, preparation of presentations: 3 hours
Total: 50 hours
Individual work:
1. Study: 40 hours
2. Assignment writing: 30 hours
3. Preparation of activities for small groups or single students: readings, search for bibliography and materials, etc.: 30 hours
Total: 100 hours
The basic recommendation is to read the general or specialized bibliography provided by the teaching staff when giving the programme, and also the more specific one supplied with each theme in order to get a more complete picture than that obtained in the lectures. These readings must include the consultation of magazines such as Obradoiro de Historia Moderna , Cuadernos Feijonianos, Cuadernos de Estudios Galegos, etc.
You must read and consult specific bibliography in order to dominate the techniques for textual analysis, graphics or tables and the elaboration of assignments.
We recommend that you visit sites such as those of the archives and libraries of Galicia or outside of Galicia.
