Teaching language: Catalan

The first day will be the subjects, methodology, and presentation of the practical assumptions.  

The program of the subject consists of 3 blocks with a total of 40 hours. A training visit is also scheduled during the month of December, related to the contents of the subject.

In the framework of these theoretical hours, exercises and other activities that are part of the continuous assessment will also be considered.  

At the same time, as the theoretical explanations go ahead, students will have to do a search on a topic of those proposed in the program, and in relation to which they must deliver a written work and make a presentation to the student in the classroom

For the follow-up of the subject, the texts that the teacher indicates during the theoretical classes (articles, regulations, jurisprudence, etc.) must be read.  

Both the research work and the proposed exercises, such as the reading of texts, form part of the hours that the student will have to work independently, although, for the follow-up and resolution of doubts, 'timely supervision through debates forums, the virtual campus and permanent communication through email.

Tutorials with the teaching staff will be arranged by email.

Continuous Assessment

The assessment criteria for the subject are 2:

a) 2 written tests (One at the end of block 1 and the other at the end of block 3. Each test consists of: a multiple-choice test and questions to be developed based on a practical case. It is equivalent to 60% of the final grade.

b) 2 research projects (one for block 1 and another for blocks 2 and 3). Each research project involves the submission of a paper and an in-class presentation using ICT tools. It is equivalent to 40% of the final grade.

It is therefore a continuous assessment.

The calculation of the result of the two assessments will give the final grade of the subject (it is cumulative and progressive).

The description of the evaluation of each test is as follows:

a) Written exam: worth a total of 6 points (60% of the final grade):

- 2 multiple-choice written tests of 40 questions (each worth 2 points, totaling 4 points)

- 2 practical cases with 2 questions each (each case worth 1 point, totaling 2 points)

b) Research project worth 40% (document and presentation); 2 projects must be completed, one for block 1 and another for blocks 2 and 3.

Each project is worth 20% or 2 points of the final grade; if both research projects are satisfactorily completed, it equals 4 points of the final grade.

Single Assessment

Students who opt for single assessment will complete a single final synthesis test covering all the course content (60%), consisting of a 40-question multiple-choice test (4 points) and one practical case (2 points).

In addition, they will submit or be assessed on the course research projects (40%), which must be presented and defended on the dates scheduled according to the continuous assessment timetable.

The date for this test and/or the course submissions will be the same as that scheduled in the timetable for the continuous assessment exam.

The same resit system as for continuous assessment will be applied.

Assessment of students in second or subsequent enrolment

Students repeating the subject must complete the scheduled tests and exams and submit the course project on the dates indicated in the *Moodle classroom.

Resit Examination

If the subject is not passed according to the above criteria (continuous assessment), a resit test may be taken on the date scheduled in the timetable, covering all the contents of the syllabus.

This test will consist of a 40-question multiple-choice exam and one practical case with 4 questions to be developed.

To participate in the resit, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is at least two-thirds of the total course grade. However, the grade recorded in the student's transcript will be a maximum of 5 (Pass).

Tests/exams may be written and/or oral at the lecturer’s discretion.

Change of date for a test or exam

Students who need to change an assessment date must submit a request by completing the document available in the *Moodle Tutorisation *EPSI space.

Once completed, the document must be sent to the course teaching staff and the Degree coordination.

Review

At the time each assessment activity is carried out, the teaching staff will inform students of the mechanisms for reviewing grades.

For single-assessment students, the review process will be the same.

Not assessable:

In accordance with point 9 of article 266 of the UAB Academic Regulations, when it is considered that the student has not been able to provide sufficient assessment evidence, this subject will be graded as not assessable. A student is considered not assessable in this subject when they have not previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is at least one-third of the total course grade.

Other considerations

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "if a student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment activity, that activity will be graded 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for the subject will be 0".

If unforeseen circumstances arise that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the assessment of the subject.

Review of assessment activities:

At the time each assessment activity is carried out, the lecturer will inform students (Moodle) of the procedure and date for the review of grades.

Use of AI

“In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a penalty in the grade of the activity, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.”
