Description

Radio Internships is a fully practical course where students design, produce, perform and write and voice a radio program broadcast by a real radio channel for their audience for a year.

Over the course of three terms, the students, in independent groups of 3, 4 or 5 people, are responsible for maintaining a stable production of their own on the radio grid, with the tutorship and help of the teacher. In this sense, in a professional environment, all the knowledge acquired in previous introductions to the radio medium is put into practice and expanded.

At the end of the course the student must be able to:

LO1 Produce, perform and maintain a radio program on a real station.

LO2 Manage a radio file.

LO3 Use voice, silence, sound effects and music in a radio space.

LO4 Use the physical components to be able to make and broadcast radio.

Working methodology

100% practical course. The student works in a group from the first day in the radio studio and in the Editorial Board designing, producing and realizing their radio space that will be broadcast online on different platforms.

Through participative meetings of the large group and specific activities in the classroom, the radio production that is carried out in a group in a completely autonomous way is oriented. With personalized monitoring and professional advice, interaction between groups and critical analysis of one's own production, the productions of others and the context of reception are encouraged. Data is collected from the actual audience of each proposal and the aspects of the radio program that work and those that don't are assessed. Radio professionals are invited to complement the training in specialized areas necessary for the production and broadcast of the program.

The subject has reserved a slot of 2 hours per week, for three terms, for the use of the equipment.

Evaluation system

The basis of the Radiophonic Practices assessment is the planning, realization, broadcasting and group promotion of a radio program on an open and real audio channel (40%). To prepare and base this broadcast, a framework radio project is designed and written as a group (10%) and different activities and tasks are carried out to monitor and control the production (10%). At the same time, an individual critical analysis is carried out on the productions of the other groups (10%) and a comment on the use and strategy of social networks (15%) to guide the production. Finally, an individual report (5%) is made for the assessment and presentation of the content covered and the learnings obtained. Attendance and participation in activities and classes count individually for 10% of the final grade of the course.

Briefly and in detail:
