In the classroom, problems or questions raised in relation to different aspects of the syllabus that each student will have previously worked on with the readings or materials indicated will be worked on.

4. Individual work of students based on readings and information research. The guided work is complemented by individual or autonomous group work.

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. The lack of transparency of the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.”

Assessment System. The assessment consists of four types of activities:

• 30% – Midterm exam
• 40% – Final exam
• 15% – Oral presentation and/or written essay. The specific format of this activity will be determined based on the size and characteristics of the group.
• 15% – Practical assignments

The course will be considered passed if the following two conditions are met:

• The average grade for the course is equal to or higher than 4.9, and
• The final exam grade is equal to or higher than 4.0.
• If a student meets the first requirement but not the second, the average course grade will be adjusted to 4.5, and the student will be eligible to take the resit examination, in accordance with the guidelines detailed in the section \"Resit Process\" found later in this guide.

If a student meets the second requirement but not the first—or meets neither—then their overall course grade will be the result of the direct application of the above weightings,and may also take the resit exam in accordance with the provisions established in the section “Recovery Process” found below.

Recovery Process

“To participate in the recovery process, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities representing at least two thirds of the total course grade.” Section 3 of Article 112 ter (UAB Academic Regulations). Students must have obtained an average course grade between 3.5 and 4.9. The date of this exam will be scheduled in the Faculty examination calendar. A student who sits and passes it will pass the course with a grade of 5. Otherwise, the original grade will remain unchanged.

ATTENTION:

1. A student is considered “Not Assessed” in this course if they have completed less than 30% of the assessment activities. “The grade of NOT ASSESSED implies exhausting all rights inherent to enrolment in the course.”
2. Only midterm and final exams may be rescheduled, and only in exceptional cases and with the explicit approval of the Degree Coordinator. All other types of assessment taken during the course will NOT be rescheduled.
3. This course does not provide a single-assessment system.
