Statement

• The teaching of the subject is face-to-face
• Lectures will be provided with ICT support and active participation of students will be promoted. In seminars real cases will be discussed and students will present their individual and group work.
• Exercises for each issue worked in class.

Continuous Evaluation model

• The model is based on continuous evaluation.
• The evaluation is based on the following criteria:

a) Exercises for each block in which students must provide a reflective and critical analysis of the content covered (20%).

b) Practical classes/seminars delivered during seminar sessions will be assessed through group and/or individual assignments (40%).

c) Students will complete a final written examination covering the course contents at the end of the teaching period (40%). This examination will consist of multiple-choice questions. In the event of failing the exam, the resit examination will consist of open-ended questions.

• To pass the subject it is required: a) To obtain an average mark of 5/10; b) To have at least 5 in each of the evaluating activities.
• Students will be assessable as long as they have completed a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade for the subject. If the value of the activities carried out does not reach this threshold, the subject teacher may consider the student as non-evaluable.

Attendance requirement

• Attendance at classes, both theoretical and seminars, is mandatory. A minimum of 80% attendance is required to pass the subject.
• Justified absences will not count negatively and the teacher will facilitate the recovery of classes in the case of justified absence. For an absence to be justified, it must be documented. Only those arising from force majeure such as illness or similar situations that prevent attendance at teaching activities can be justified absences. Carrying out other formative activities of the degree may be considered an excused absence if the professor responsible for the subject accepts this in advance.
• In the event that the teaching activity cannot be carried out due to a strike by the students or the teacher, the students are obliged to prepare the subject on their own. In any case, all subjects provided for in the teaching guide will be subject to evaluation. The teacher may provide the student with specific material to prepare the subject that has been covered in the classroom. (Agreement of the mixed commission of the degree, June 2012).
• Restricted use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for proofreading texts or deliverable assignments, and for translating documentary sources written in a foreign language. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include the prompts applied, as well as a brief critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. A lack of transparency in the use of AI in this gradable activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total grade penalty for the activity, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Resit

• Students will have the opportunity of repeating the exam and exercises in which they have obtained a fail mark. Maximum mark in case of resit will be pass.

Punctuality

• Classes start on time. Late arrival and leaving the class before the schedule is not allowed, except reasonable justification.

Fraudulent conduct

• In case of cheating in an exam the student will get a 0, loosing also the right to a resit exam.
• A student that will present an exercise or work that contains signs of plagiarism or artificial intelligence he/she can not justify the arguments of his/her exercise, will get a 0 and receive a warning. In case of reiteration of conduct, the student will fail the subject (0) and will lose the right to resit.

Single Evaluation model

• The model is based on single evaluation. Students who request a single evaluation must take a final test, in which they must demonstrate that they have acquired all the skills of the subject
• The evaluation is based on the following criteria:

1) Written examination (80% of the final grade). A final examination covering the contents of the three course blocks, as well as some questions related to seminar activities, will be held at the end of the semester. Assessable contents will be specified during the course.

2) Submission of a reflective assignment (20% of the final grade). The conditions and guidelines for this assignment will be provided at the beginning of the course.

• To pass the subject it is required: a) To obtain an average mark of 5/10; b) To have at least 5 in each of the evaluating activities.

Student at the University of Abast

• Due to the special condition in this course, the students of the Universitat a l'Abast will contact the people responsible forthe subject at the beginning of the course to be able to set the evaluation and follow-up objectives of the course.
