Description

Internships Radio is a completely practical course where students design, produce, perform and write and broadcast a radio program broadcast on a real station for their audience for a year.

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

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

Learning outcomes

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.

LO5 Make and use the radio script.

--

RAC1 Reflect on the best radio communication strategy according to the content to be transmitted and the receiving social context.

RAC2 Collect and analyze audience results and program reception and develop improvement solutions.

RAC3 Apply the techniques of scripting and writing radio products using critical and creative ideas.

RAC4 Innovate new narratives, expressions and sound resources with the language of radio.

RAC5 Design formats and structures of radio programs suitable for the different activities of the medium and the different programming formats.

RAC6 Coordinate the production of a real radio program aimed at a specific audience segment.

RAC7 Supervise the technical procedure for creating and broadcasting a radio space.

Working methodology

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

Through participatory master classes and classroom activities, the group's radio production is guided. Interaction between groups and critical analysis of one's own production, the productions of others and the context of reception are encouraged. The data of the real hearing of each proposal is collected and the evaluation of the aspects of the radio program that work and those that do not. Professionals in the radio environment are invited to complement the training in specialized areas necessary for the production and broadcast of the program.

The dedication of Radio Practices, according to the type of activities, is:

In a large group: 23pm

Guided activities: 26h

Autonomous learning: 101am

Total hours: 150 hours spread over 3 quarters.

This course, due to the situation generated by COVID, perhaps some of the large group sessions will be done in hybrid format: face-to-face and online (via streaming). This would allow students to rotate to face-to-face classes, respecting the maximum number of students per classroom imposed by the distance measures. When they do not have a face-to-face session, they will be able to follow the class online from home.

With regard to internship sessions in smaller spaces (such as laboratories, studios or sets), where appropriate, work will be carried out simultaneously in several spaces in order to ensure that the conditions established by the safety protocols are met.

Evaluation system

The basis of the evaluation of Radio Practices is the design, production and group broadcast of a radio program on a real station (30%). To prepare and improve this issue, an individual analysis is made on the strategy used (10%) and an individual critical analysis on the productions of the other groups (20%). Activities are carried out in the classroom to guide production (20%) and, finally, an individual test is carried out to assess the contents covered and the learning obtained (20%).

Briefly and in detail:

30% Realization of a radio program in group

10% Analysis and individual reflection on radio strategy

20% Test on the contents

20% Presentation of an individual critical analysis

20% Classroom activities

RECOVERY

According to current regulations, only those students who have not reached 5 in the final grade point average of the subject or who have not managed to pass one of the two parts, theory or practice, will be eligible for recovery. Recovery will be only from those unapproved parts.

A written exam will be taken to recover the theory part.

In order to recover the practice, an oral exam will be carried out where practical cases will be posed and exercises of locution and radio realization can be requested.
