1. Directed activities

 1.1. Master classes. The first hour and half of class will consist of master classes.

 1.2. Seminars. Resolution of cases and problems. The second hour and half of class will consist of seminars where students solve criminal cases or comment legal texts or news.

Attendance at master classes and seminars, except in some case of justified reason, will be compulsory for students.

 2. Tutorials.

 3. Autonomous working.

The assessment system is mixed, theoretical-practical, and is governed by the rules set out below.

At the beginning of the course, the teacher in charge of each group will inform the students, through the Moodle classroom, of the dates of the continuous assessment activities, as well as the model of the final exam (test, short questions, etc.).

1. Composition of the final mark

1.1. Assessable activities

a) Continuous assessment activities (5 points out of 10)

Continuous assessment activities are aimed at the development of mainly practical skills.

Two continuous assessment activities are carried out, each with a range of 2 to 2.5 points. The seminar teacher reserves the right to use up to one point from the continuous assessment activities to evaluate the tasks they consider appropriate in seminars, which are mandatory to attend.

The teacher responsible for each group will indicate, at the beginning of the course, the specific characteristics of the activities and their dates.

b) Final content test (5 points out of 10)

The final content test is worth 5 points. The date is officially established by the Faculty of Law and the format will be the one indicated by the lecturer at the beginning of the course.

1.2. Requirements for passing the subject:

a) that the sum of the mark for the final content test and the continuous assessment is at least 5 out of 10.

b) the mark for the final content test must be at least 2 out of 5.

The teacher in charge of each group must inform the student if it is also necessary to obtain 2 points out of 5 in the continuous assessment grade in order to pass the subject.

If a 2 out of 5 is not obtained, the maximum mark for the course will be 4.5 out of 10 and the course will be failed.

2. Re-evaluation

Re-evaluation is open to those who have failed or those who, having passed, wish to improve their mark. It is not necessary to have obtained a minimum mark in either of the two parts in order to attend. In any case, the last mark (the re-evaluation mark) counts, whether it is better or worse than the re-evaluation mark.

Both the part corresponding to the overall finalexamination and the continuous assessment activities can be reassessed.

The re-evaluation of the final overall test will consist of a test of the same class as the one taken previously and allows up to 5 points to be obtained. Timetable: official date set by the Faculty of Law.

The re-evaluation of the continued activity consists of the completion of an activity of the same type as one of those taken during the course and allows up to 2.5 points to be obtained. The mark obtained in the re-evaluation will replace the worst mark obtained during the course.

3. Revision

When publishing each of the marks, whether for the activities carried out during the course, the final exam or the re-evaluations, the teaching staff will specify the revision system (date, time and place).

4. Access to assessment

Students are assessable provided that they have carried out a set of activities the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total qualification of the subject. If the value of the activities carried out does not reach this threshold, the teacher may consider that the student is not assessable.

5. Single assessment

Students who can access the single assessment will have to carry out 3 types of activities of a similar nature and difficulty as in the alternative system of continuous assessment:

(a) a content test (up to 5 points of the final mark).

b) two additional activities similar to those that are the object of the continuous assessment system (2.5 points each).

In order to pass, it is essential to achieve a 2 out of 5 in the overall test and a 2 out of 5 in the practical activities (only if the teaching staff also requires it in the continuous assessment system), in addition to a 5 out of 10 of the total.

The same re-evaluation system will be applied as in the continuous assessment system.

The same non-assessable criteria applied in continuous assessment also apply here.

6. IMPORTANT: If a student cheats, plagiarizes, or is caught with a prohibited device during any assessment, the teacher will give a 0 for that assessment and notify the Faculty Dean's office with a report detailing the circumstances and evidence, to request the opening of a possible disciplinary file for the student. This assessment activity cannot be made up. If more than one irregularity occurs in the assessments of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.

7. Use of AI

The use of AI tools will not be allowed for completing assessment activities and tests.
