The teaching methodology is based on different training activities. Depending on the case, master classes (1/1), practical sessions (1/2), workshops (1/4), supervised and autonomous activities will be performed.

Type: directed

- Master classes (whole group): weekly sessions where the contents of the subject will be explained
- Classes in small groups (1/2 and 1/4): sessions with a reduced number of students to work on the contents of the subject through different activities such as problem-solving or practical exercises.

Type: supervised

- Tutoring sessions (online and classroom attendance) to solve doubts.

Type: autonomous

- Search for documentation and preparation of the basic and complementary material of the subject (study materials available through the virtual campus, textbooks of the subject, monographs and articles).

- Self-assessment exercises.

- Preparation of a part of the syllabus corresponding to neurotransmitters.

- Study of basic concepts of the subject (creation of scripts, concept maps, synthesis, etc.).

Use of Artificial Intelligence

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

Continuous Assessment

The assessment of this subject is continuous and cumulative and will be carried out through 3 learning assessment tasks. The final grade will be obtained from the weighted average of the assessment activities carried out:

• Learning Assessment Task 1 (Ev1)
• Open-ended questions from topics 1, 2, and 3.
• Conducted in-person during the first assessment period on the dates established by the faculty.
• Feedback in the classroom on week 10.
• Learning Assessment Task 2 (Ev2)
• Submission of activities through the virtual campus or on paper.
• Depending on the activity, these will be group or individual tasks.
• The schedule will be set for each group.
• Feedback through Moodle or in office hours between 2 and 3 weeks after the completion of the activity.
• Learning Assessment Task 3 (Ev3)
• Multiple-choice and open-ended questions covering all subject content (Topics 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
• Conducted face-to-face during the second assessment period on the dates established by the faculty.
• Feedback in office hours on week 20.
• A student is considered to have passed the subject through continuous assessment when both of the following conditions are met: a) having obtained a minimum grade of 5 points (out of 10) in the continuous assessment, b) having obtained a minimum score of 5 points (out of 10) in tasks 1 and 3. In case of not meeting these requirements, the grade on the academic record will be the lower value between 4.5 points and the weighted average of the continuous assessment grades.

Single Assessment

Requesting the single assessment implies waiving the continuous assessment.

The single assessment will take place on the same day and venue as the continuous assessment exam for the second assessment period of the subject.

A single exam consisting of open-ended and multiple-choice questions will be conducted to assess all the contents of the subject. The final grade for the subject will correspond to the score obtained in this exam. The single assessment must be requested online (E-form, more information on the faculty website) within the specific period.

Reassessment):

• In order to be eligible for the reassessment exam, students must:
• Not have met the criteria established to pass the subject and have a grade greater than or equal to 3.5 points. That is, the final grade must be lower than 5 and greater than or equal to 3.5 points.
• Have been previously assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade for the subject.
• Reassessment exam:
• In case of having followed the continuous assessment:
• Ev2 cannot be retaken.
• In case of not having passed either Ev1 or Ev3 during the continuous assessment, and given that the knowledge in this subject is cumulative, students will only need to take the reassessment for Ev3, and the final grade for the subject will correspond to the grade obtained in this exam up to a maximum of 5 out of 10.
• In case of not having passed only Ev1 or Ev3 during the continuous assessment, students will only need to take the reassessment for the failed assessment task. The final grade after the resit will be the weighted average of the 3 assessment tasks, taking into account that the reassessment grade replaces the grade of the corresponding task up to a maximum of 5 points out of 10.
• In case of having followed the single assessment:
• Students who opted for the single assessment and failed the subject will only have to take the reassessment corresponding to Ev3. The final grade for the subject will be the one obtained in this exam up to a maximum of 5 out of 10.
• The Ev1 reassessment will consist of open-ended questions from topics 1, 2, and 3. The Ev3 reassessment will consist of open-ended questions from topics 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• Conducted in-person during the resit period on the dates established by the faculty.

Non-assessable (No avaluable):

• Students who have submitted learning assessment tasks with a weight equal to or greater than 4 points (40%) cannot be recorded in the official transcripts as "non-assessable".
• It is not expected that students enrolled for the second time or more will be assessed through a single, non-retakable synthesis exam.
• Below you will find the link to the faculty's assessment guidelines: Assessment Guidelines for Degrees at the Faculty of Psychology.
• The submission of the translation of face-to-face assessment exams may be requested if the requirements established in article 263 are met and the request is made online during week 4 (E-form, more information on the faculty website). In any case, the teaching team will decide on the relevance of providing the translations.
