Teaching coordination

Teaching coordination will be carried out at three levels, namely between the teaching staff of the subjects assigned to more than one area, the second between the teaching staff of the subjects of each course (course coordination), and the third between the course coordinators, quality coordinator and vice-deans (degree coordination). According to this scheme, their functions are:

  • Subject coordinator: Prepares the Teaching Guide for the subject, coordinating the opinions (methodology, assessment criteria, content, bibliography, etc.) of all the teaching staff involved in it. Must ensure the coordination of the different practice and theory groups for the same subject. They are the spokespersons for the subjects before the Dean's Office.

In each of the Teaching Guides you will be able to know who coordinates the corresponding subject.

  • Course coordinator: They must coordinate the different tutoring groups; the splitting up of seminars; the exams, as well as distributing the students' workload during the course. These coordinators will meet with the Subject Coordinators before preparing the Teaching Guides to distribute the students' work throughout the semester and avoid overloading the students with work at specific times.

In the current academic year, the Course Coordinators are:

Course Course Coordinator
First Carlos Ruiz Carreira (cruizcar@ull.es)
Second Marcos Baez Fumero (marbaez@ull.es)
Third John Christ Louis George (jcluis@ull.es)
Room Agueda Gonzalez Rodriguez (aglerod@ull.es)
Internships Ricardo Guillermo Alvarez (riguial@ull.es)
Final Degree Project Celedonio Gonzalez Diaz (cglez@ull.es)
  • Degree Coordinator: The Degree Coordinator will facilitate communication and coordination between the different courses.

The teaching staff and the Coordinator of each Course will meet with sufficient advance notice, before the start of the course, to plan the teaching of each semester and will exchange information regularly to find out how the activities scheduled for each subject are developing.

The Course Coordinators, the Quality Coordinator and the Vice-Dean will meet at the beginning of the course to define the objectives, and at the end of the course to evaluate the teaching coordination and academic performance. When there are several groups within the same subject and they do not have the same teacher, the teachers involved in a subject will jointly ensure that the development of the activities follows the same pace in all the groups.

In addition to these coordination tasks, the Coordinator of the "Final Degree Project" subject will be responsible for the organizational tasks related to said subject, for its public offering before the start of the enrollment period.

The functions of the coordinators have been included in the following Regulations approved by the Quality Commission on September 23, 2013:
