Description
Summary:The paper recounts the experience of a cycle of film showings organized by the students themselves, which was also recognized as being an activity whereby elective credits could be obtained. The activity was carried out during the 2009-10 academic year in the Biology degree at the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona. The organization of the activity and the assessment of the students enrolled were undertaken by the Student Organizers under the supervision of the Dean of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The experience was deemed to be highly successful for the following reasons: the number of students enrolled on it, the notable participation and the result of the assessment of the reports handed in by the students. The activity could be considered a good example of students' involvement in their own training, both technical and human.
