1. Management of Documentary Sources is a basic second-year subject in the three Communication degrees of the Faculty: Journalism, Advertising and Public Relations, and Audiovisual Communication. As a basic course, it serves as a support for subjects that require consultation of information sources, even general or specific ones. Students do not need prior knowledge other than the experience of searching and using information.

2. Thanks to the work carried out in this subject, the student will acquire general knowledge about: 1) Information literacy, 2) The information and documentation necessary both in the university period and in the workplace, and 3) How to learn using information spources ethically and effectively. The student will also work on resources for acquiring specialized information and techniques related to the media.

3. Within the UPV/EHU's sustainable development plan ("EHUagenda 2030", 2019), this subject contributes to the core sustainable development goals (SDG) #4 (target 4), #16 (target 6) and #18. Regarding the strategic axis 'Campus Planet', the subjetc contributes to SDG#9, target 5--increasing scientific research.

2. In addition to lecture explanations, ten assimilation exercises are proposed, some of which are evaluable--not others.

a. The purpose of this procedure is based on the principle of active training in the Cooperative and Dynamic Learning--IKD, in Basque--system of the UVP/EHU, whose first point states that it is necessary for students to be active learning agents. Thus, students attend class and are motivated to follow the theory, focusing on the learning processes and pathways, among other outcomes.

b. The tasks are based on 'inquiry-' and 'research-based learning', as suggested by the "EHUagenda 2030" plan (Op. cit., p. 10). The lecturer can add or remove excerises if they consider, according to the needs of the students.

3. Each exercise (E) is related ('affinis') to one or more lessons listed above and can be done individually or in groups of three, as proposed by the lecturer:

E#1. Creating your own family tree. Aff.: L#1, #2, #3

E#2. Newspaper archive work on a past event. Aff.: L#1, #3

E#3. Dissemination of a scientific study on social media. Aff.: L#2, #3

E#4. Analyze the steps and difficulties of a historical research work. Aff.: L#1, 3, 4

E#5. Essays in writing and APA citations, with an emphasis on syntax. Aff.: L#3, 4

E#6. Statistical work (population, I). Aff.: L#3, 4

E#7. Statistical work (population, II). Aff.: L#3, 4

E#8. Statistical work (audiences). Aff.: L#3, 4

E#9. Reflection on a novel whose central theme is (dis)information. Aff.: L#1



II. PRACTICAL--OR RESEARCH--PROGRAM

1. The research program is developed through Computer Groups--GO, in Spanish--in sessions of the same name. Students have to to carry out a research project in groups of three, in the form of academic research and working adequately on all its parts.

a. In accordance with C2CC01 competence ('Skills', 3), the lecturer can ask the students to present their research at the end of the course.

1. The methodology of the subject is based on the principle of active training defined by the IKD model (point 1), making students active agents.

2. Theory will be channeled through lectures in the classroom one hour per week. The other two hours of theory will be used to work on and assimilate what was said in the lectures through class tasks (v. "Theoretical and practical content", I.3.).

3. Practical hours are allocated to carry out a research project (40%) to create synergies among students and delve deeper into the theory of the course, in addition to the aforementioned research-based learning (v.: "Theoretical...", I.2.b.) Research projects will be conducted, if possible, in multimedia (MM) classrooms.

a. In the event that MM classrooms cannot be used, students must attend class with a laptop or other writing device with a fully charged battery. The lecturer will provide all necessary materials through eGela.

b. According to the ethical principles of the UPV/EHU, if plagiarism is identified in any submission, or if the task has been done with artificial intelligence, the total grade for the subject will be 0, and the student will be sent to the next exam session, regardless of when plagiarism is identified.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Multiple-Choice Test (%): 30
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 30
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 40

I. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (PRIORITY)

1. To follow continuous assessment, the student has to attend at least two-thirds of the practical hours. If they miss more than allowed, they will switch to non-continuous assessment (v. section II, below).

2. To be assessed accordingly, the student has to submit class exercises on the corresponding date (30%). If not, they will be directly sent to non-continuous assessment.

3. If, during the regular exam period, a student fails any part of the subject, their grade will be reserved for the extraordinary call, so they can pass the failed part.

4. If the student does not submit any work or attend the theoretical exam (30%), their final grade will be 'Not Shown' (NS).

5. The student can renounce the continuous assessment. To do so, they must inform the course instructor--through the specified ways--before 12am on the last Friday of the 9th week of the course--refer to the academic calendar.



II. NON-CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

1. For assessment, the student in the non-continuous modality has to take the final exam (30%), just like the rest of the students.

2. So the classroom practices are also evaluated, the lecturer will add a practical exercise (30%) to the exam to be completed along with the test on the same day of the exam.

3. For the research project, the non-continuous assessment student has to complete the work independently and submit it on the exam day.

4. To pass the subject, the student has to complete all parts.

5. If, during the regular exam period, a student fails any part, their grade will be reserved for the extraordinary call.

6. If the student does not attend the exam and does not submit any work, their final grade in the non-continuous modality will be 'NS’.

7. The student can renounce the non-continuous assessment. To do so, they must inform the theory instructor--through the specified ways--before 12am on the last Friday of the 14th week of the course--refer to the academic calendar.

1. For students under continuous assessment, all requirements of the ordinary call (I, 1-4) are maintained.

2. For students under non-continuous assessment, all requirements of the ordinary call (II, 1-6) are maintained.

3.The student can renounce the final assessment. To do so, they must inform the theory instructor--through the specified ways--before 12am on the last Friday of the 29th week of the course--refer to the academic calendar.
