Lectures by the teaching staff; analysis of cases and professional situations; participatory work and discussion of readings, materials and current issues related to the course.

The course includes applied activities focused on the design, adaptation and assessment of brief socio-educational actions in juvenile and penitentiary justice contexts.

Whenever organisational and institutional conditions allow, the course may include guest professionals and/or a supervised socio-educational intervention activity in a real justice context.

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.

Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment will consist of three pieces of evidence:

• EV1. Individual applied test on the course contents: 40%. Date: 13/01/2027.
• EV2. Design, implementation —when possible— and assessment of a brief socio-educational intervention in a justice context: 45%. The design must be submitted on 16/11/2026, before the activities planned at the Young Offenders Prison.
• EV3. Individual professional reflection: 15%. Final submission date: 11/12/2026.

Single assessment

Single assessment will have the same level of demand as continuous assessment and does not exempt students from compulsory attendance or participation in essential learning activities. It is not a simplified way of passing the course.

It will consist of three individual pieces of evidence:

• EV1. Individual oral applied test on the course contents: 40%.
• EV2. Individual design and oral defence of a brief socio-educational intervention in a justice context: 45%.
• EV3. Individual technical analysis and professional reflection: 15%.

All three single-assessment activities must be completed or submitted on 13/01/2027, according to the timetable and arrangements established by the teaching staff.

General criteria for continuous and single assessment

The course has a professional focus and requires active student participation in theoretical, practical and applied sessions. Attendance is therefore compulsory in both continuous and single assessment.

To pass the course, students must:

• Submit or complete all assessment activities.
• Obtain a minimum grade of 5 in each piece of evidence.
• Attend at least 80% of the sessions.

The final grade will only be calculated when all these requirements are met; otherwise, the student will be considered not assessable. If any piece of evidence receives a grade below 5, the course cannot be passed, even when the weighted average is 5 or above.

Only absences duly documented on grounds of illness, force majeure or other unforeseen circumstances accepted by the teaching staff will be considered justified. Assessment activities must be completed on the established dates. Late submissions or activities will not be accepted, except in duly justified situations accepted by the teaching staff.

Whenever organisational and institutional conditions allow, the course will include a supervised socio-educational intervention activity at the Young Offenders Prison. If the activity cannot take place for institutional, safety, organisational or force majeure reasons, the teaching staff will establish an equivalent applied activity.

Recovery assessment will take place on 27/01/2027. To access the recovery assessment for a particular activity, students must have previously completed or submitted the corresponding ordinary assessment. Students who do not complete an assessment activity in the ordinary assessment period may not recover it later, except in duly justified cases accepted under current academic regulations.

Recovery assessment cannot be used to improve a grade. The maximum grade awarded for a recovered piece of evidence will be 5.

Generative artificial intelligence technologies may only be used as support tools for initial information searches, language correction and text translation. They may not be used to generate, either wholly or partly, assessment answers, case analyses, intervention proposals, personal reflections or oral presentations.

Students must disclose any use of these tools, identify the technology used and explain its purpose. Students remain fully responsible for the accuracy, quality, authorship and appropriateness of all submitted content.

Unauthorised or undisclosed use of generative AI in an assessment activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in a grade of 0 for the affected piece of evidence. In cases of repeated or particularly serious misconduct, the measures established in current university regulations will apply. The use of AI tools during written tests, oral presentations and assessed activities is not permitted unless expressly authorised by the teaching staff.

To pass the course, students must demonstrate adequate oral and written communication skills and a good command of the language or languages of instruction. Linguistic accuracy, clarity of expression and formal presentation will be taken into account in all activities.

No synthesis test is available for students taking the course for a second time.

Communication with the teaching staff must be carried out through institutional email. Grades will be communicated within the deadlines established by university regulations.

The dates stated correspond to the planned course schedule and the assessment calendar established by the faculty. Any necessary organisational adjustments will be communicated to students in advance.
