Students’ learning process in this course is organised around two types of activities:

1. DIRECTED ACTIVITIES

Directed activities are performed in classroom during class-hours under the direction of the lecturer. Directed activities are theoretical activities and practical activities.

In the master classes the lecturer, based on the applicable Law, explains different contents of the course. It is necessary that all students have an updated compilation of procedural normative. 

The workshops can, among others, consist of case-resolutions, analysis and discussion of court-judgements, oral presentations, debates, etc.

Students, alone or in little groups, carry out these activities.

2. AUTONOMOUS ACTIVITIES

In these activities students, alone or in group, organise their time and effort autonomously.

Autonomous activities include, among others, search and study of bibliography, elaboration of drafts or summaries, search of case-law and preparation of scored activities afterwards in classroom corrected.   

In this course most of the autonomous activities are connected to the following-up of theoretical classes, elaboration of practical activities and preparation for the exam.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

-There will be the following scored activities, distributed throughout the course.

-At the beginning of the course, the lecturer of each group will indicate the specific date for these scored activities.

-The scored activities are stated below and have the following weighting in the final grade:

1) theoretical and/or practical exam of part of the subject: 30%

2) theoretical and/or practical exam of part of the subject: 30%

3) practical activities: there are 2 practical individual scored activities during the course: 10% per each.

4) practical activities in the classroom: case-studies, oral presentations, case-law essays, assistance and participation at class, etc: 20%

-In order to pass the continuous assessment, students must get as a minimum grade a 5,0 in the average of both partial exams, and a grade of 3,0 in each evalualuated practical activities to be considered.

-To be evaluated students must carry out several activities, that in global must represent at least 2/3 of the final qualification. If students do not reach that limit, teachers may consider the student as non-assessable.

REEVALUATION:

-The student who does not pass the continuous assessment may be elegible for the reevaluation-exam. The reevaluation-exam will consist in a theoretical-practical exam. The practical activities carried out in the workshops cannot be recovered.

-For the reevaluation-exam the student must at least have a 3 (out of 10) in the average grade of the course.

REVIEWING PROCESS:

-After the elaboration and qualification of every scored activity, the lecturer will set a date to review the activity for any student interested.

SINGLE ASSESMENT:

The single assesment is composed od three parts: 1) An theorethical/practical test exam of 30 questions (50%); 2) Resoluction of 2 case studies (without any materials) (25%); 3) An oral exposition of a topic chosen randomly within the contests of the subject in fron of a court composed al least by 2 teachers (25%).

The duration of the single assesment will be 4 hours aprox, in the data settled by the teachers.

Students should exceed the total score of 5,0 to aprove the single assesment. Students that doesn't aprove the single assesment may be elegible for the reevaluation-exam, if they have obtained a grade of 3,0 in the single assesment.

The same criteria of non-assessable will be applied as for continous assesment.

USE OF AI

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies (AI) is allowed exclusively in support tasks such as bibliographic or informations search, text corrections, translations or audiovisual activities support.

The student will have to clearly identify which part has been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflexion on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity.

The non transparency in the use of AI in these avaluable activity will be considerd lack of academic honesty and may lead to partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater penalties in serious cases.

IMPORTANT: If a student cheats, commits plagiarism, or is found in possession of a prohibited device during any assessment activity, the lecturer will assign a grade of 0 for that assessment and will notify the Dean’s Office of the Faculty by submitting a report detailing the circumstances and evidence of the incident, with a view to requesting the initiation of possible disciplinary proceedings against the student. This assessment activity cannot be retaken. If more than one irregularity occurs in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.
