3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
At a time when technology facilitates widespread access to sources of information, it becomes more necessary than ever for professional journalism to offer deeper and documented interpretations of social reality, such as those presented by the different branches of journalistic specialization. This kind of journalism requires not only a different training, but also a differentiated theoretical foundation according to the different areas: scientific and cultural journalism, investigative and data journalism, mobile and brand journalism, as well as local journalism, judicial, economic, etc. Addressing sectoral audiences that demand this information requires mastering concepts, terminologies and research methods (quantitative and qualitative) that approximate journalistic practice to various branches of specialized and scientific knowledge. The workshop of Specialized Journalism II tries to bring future journalists to these competitions.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Projects | 20.00% | 0.00% | On current issues or controversies |
| Projects | 50.00% | 50.00% | |
| Oral presentations assessment | 5.00% | 0.00% | |
| Theoretical exam | 25.00% | 50.00% | |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The mark for this subject is an average of the marks obtained in all the practicals and assignments carried out during the four-month period, plus the evaluation of the presence and performance in class. In order to be eligible for the evaluation it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 in each of the tests.
The rules on plagiarism and spelling correction common to the Degree will be applied to the presentation of written work and tests. Exercises, assignments and practicals that are shown to be plagiarised will receive a grade of 0 points. The repetition of plagiarism in more than one work implies the automatic failure of the subject. Plagiarism includes work carried out using Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
Any student may change to the non-continuous assessment mode as long as he/she has not participated during the period of classes in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject. If a student has reached this 50% of evaluable activities or if, in any case, the period of classes has ended, he/she will be considered in continuous assessment without the possibility of changing assessment mode. -
Non-continuous evaluation:For those who do not follow the continuous assessment or do not have a sufficient average in the practicals and coursework, there will be an omnicomprehensive exam or equivalent work that will be worth 50% of the final mark. The other 50% will correspond to a practical (data journalism report).
In order to be able to be assessed for the course, a minimum of 4 will be required for each of these assignments The rules on plagiarism and spelling correction common to the Degree will be applied to the presentation of written work and tests. Exercises, assignments and practicals that are shown to have been plagiarised will receive a grade of 0 points, which will be equivalent to failing the course. Plagiarism includes work carried out using Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
Any student may change to the non-continuous assessment mode as long as he/she has not participated during the period of classes in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject. If a student has reached this 50% of evaluable activities or if, in any case, the period of classes has ended, he/she will be considered in continuous assessment without the possibility of changing assessment mode.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Two formulas are established for the rertake exam:
1) the average mark obtained in the practicals during the course is maintained and the teacher will determine the form of recovery of suspended or unsubmitted practicals or, where appropriate, the performance of an exam or alternative work, which will average with the other marks.
2) In cases of non-continuous assessment, there will be an extraordinary comprehensive exam of the subject (50%) and the presentation of a research or report on data journalism (50%).
