TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The center of the learning process is the work of the students, who learn by working, with the mission of the teachers to help them in this task, providing them with information and showing them the sources where they need to direct their steps so that the learning process can be carried out effectively. In accordance with these ideas, and in accordance with the objectives of the subject, the development of the course is based on the following activities, which are divided into three large groups:

Directed activity: students achieve the conceptual bases of the subject as well as the contextualization of the facts by attending theoretical classes and classroom practices. Theoretical classes are the activities in which less interactivity with the students is required, since they are conceived as a fundamentally unidirectional method of transmitting knowledge from the teachers to the students.

Supervised activities: students, with the timely supervision of the teachers, acquire knowledge of the subject autonomously (tutorials).

Autonomous activities: students organize themselves autonomously (study, document consultations, assignments, etc.) in order to achieve the objective of the subject.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

STANDARD ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

60% of the grade is based on two written exams, each of which accounts for 30% of the final grade. A minimum score of 4 out of 10 is required on each written exam to pass the course. The schedule for these two exams will be available on the Virtual Campus at the beginning of the semester.

30% of the grade is based on a group project. This group project (preferably with 3 people) consists of an oral presentation on a topic covered in class. The project will be agreed upon beforehand with the instructors. A minimum score of 4 out of 10 is required to pass the course.

The remaining 10% of the final grade will be based on class participation.

To pass the course, a minimum grade of 5 is required. This is calculated as the weighted average of the grades for the two written exams, the group project, and class participation.

RE-EVALUATION

If a minimum grade of 4 is not obtained on either of the two written tests, or if the minimum final grade of 5 is not obtained, a re-evaluation will be permitted. This will take place on the date set by the Faculty for the course exam in June. A minimum grade of 4 out of 10 is required on the re-evaluation to pass the course. To pass, the weighted average of the re-evaluation grade, the group work grade, and the class participation grade must be at least 5 out of 10.

Non-assessable

Students will be considered eligible for assessment if they have completed a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total course grade. If the value of the completed activities does not reach this threshold, the course instructors may consider the student ineligible for assessment.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

The sole evaluation involves a written proof, with a value of 70% of the final grade of the subject, and the presentation of a practical assignment, with a value of the remaining 30% of the final grade. In order to opt to pass the subject by obtaining a minimum grade of 4 in the written test as well as in the practical work. The final grade must be a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in order to pass the subject. This is calculated as the weighted average of the written test and the practical work. The written proof and the presentation of the work will take place on the day set by the Faculty to take the subject exam in the month of June.

In the event that the minimum grade of 4 is not obtained in the written test or when the final grade of the subject calculated with the weighted average of the grade of the written test plus the grade of the practical work remains lower than 5 points out of 10, it may be added to the revaluation of the written test. In order to opt to pass the subject and obtain a minimum grade of 4 in the revaluation. To pass the subject, the minimum grade calculated with the weighted average of the revaluation grade plus the practical work must be a minimum of 5 points out of 10. The revaluation will take place on the day set by the Faculty to carry out the reassessment of the subject.

SPECIAL CASES

In the cases in which the students were not able to attend the written records, and with justification, the professor of the subject will establish the recovery mechanisms.

FRAUDULENT CONDUCT

"The student who copied or attempted to copy an exam will receive a 0 in the subject and will lose the right to reassessment. The student who presented a practice with signs of plagiarism or who could not justify the arguments of the same practice will obtain a 0 and will receive a warning. In case of repetition of behavior, the student will fail the subject (0) and will lose the right to recovery."

USES OF ARTIFICIAL INTEL·LIGÈNCIA

Us restriction: “For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information fencing, text correction or translations or activities indicated by the professor. The students will have to clearly identify which parts have been generated within This technology, specify the aspects and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The non-transparency of the use of AI in this evaluable activity is considered a lack of academic honesty and may entail a partial or total penalty in the note of activity, or major sanctions in serious cases."
