The learning process focuses on the work of the student, who learns by working individually and in groups, the mission of the teacher being to help him in this task by providing information and showing him the techniques and sources where it can be obtained.

The development of the teaching of the subject and of the student's training is based on the following activities:

1. Directed activities:

1.1. Master classes where students acquire through the transmission of knowledge from the teacher / professor the conceptual bases of the subject.

1.2. Seminar classes: as a learning space where students assume a preferably active role to, together with the teacher, analyze and interpret questions, questions or previously elaborated cases in order to develop and consolidate the essential content explained in the theoretical classes.

2. Supervised activities: These are activities that students will develop in the classroom, with the supervision and support of the teacher. It is about the solution of some practical assumption in the classroom, elaboration of some files of sentences and / or regulations or the realization of outlines or written writing developed of some epigraphs of the subject or of complementary readings of monographs or doctrinal articles.

3. Autonomous activities: these are activities in which the student organizes time and effort autonomously, either individually or in groups.

3.1 Study of the subject.

3.2 It is possible to propose the elaboration of documents of practical activities that will be delivered and analyzed in the classroom. These are practical cases proposed in advance by the teacher or the preparation of critical reviews of books and readings or files on jurisprudence, regulations or films.

3.3 Search of bibliography, jurisprudence and materials for the resolution of practical cases, complementing the theoretical questions

3.4. Preparation of course work, reports, etc.

If proposed, attendance at the seminars, except for justified cause, will be mandatory for students.A detailed schedule outlining the content of each session will be presented on the first day of the course and will be available on the course's Virtual Campus, where students will find all teaching materials and necessary information for effective course monitoring. Should the teaching modality change for reasons of force majeure according to the competent authorities, the teaching staff will inform students of any modifications to the course schedule and teaching methodologies.

The contents of the subjet shall be sensible to a gender-prespective approach, aswell as to the use of inclusive language. 

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Activities

Competencies for these subjects will be assessed through the following activities:

- Comprehensive final exam: to be held on the date established in the course calendar. The teaching team will specify the format of this test, which may be written or oral. This component of the continuous assessment accounts for 50% of the final course grade.

- At least two practical assessment activities. By way of example, these activities may include a midterm exam (which does not exempt students from the material covered), case studies, reports, reviews, legal writings, legal opinions, or research papers, among others. The selected activities may be carried out individually or in groups, as determined by the teaching team. This component of the continuous assessment accounts for 40% of the final course grade. Practical activities may be performed either individually or in groups, at the discretion of the teaching team.

- Class attendance and participation. This refers to active participation throughout the course—participation that is of high quality, legally grounded, appropriate, and relevant to the topics discussed, and distinct from participation in seminar or practical sessions. This component of the continuous assessment accounts for 10% of the final course grade.

Grading

Each continuous assessment activity must receive a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10 in order to be included in the continuous assessment average. The continuous assessment grade will be the sum of the grades from the activities, provided the required minimum grades for inclusion have been met. To pass the continuous assessment, the average grade must be 5 out of 10 or higher.

Retake

If a student does not pass the course assessment (achieving a minimum grade of 5 out of 10), they may sit for a final retake exam on the date indicated in the course calendar. This re-assessment is only available to students who have participated in the continuous assessment process. Regardless of the grade obtained in the re-assessment, if the student passes, the course will be recorded as passed with a grade of 5 out of 10.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

Activities

The single assessment for this course, for students who have opted for this method, consists of the following components:

- Comprehensive final exam: to be held on the date established in the course calendar. This component accounts for 60% of the final course grade.

- Course assignment: At the beginning of the course, an assignment based on specific course topics will be set. The submission deadline is the day of the final exam, in accordance with the established calendar. This component accounts for 40% of the final course grade.

Grading

Each assessment activity requires a minimum score of 3.5 out of 10 to be included in the calculation of the final assessment grade. The final assessment grade is the sum of the activity scores, provided the required minimums for each are met. To pass the assessment, the final grade must be 5 out of 10 or higher.

Retake

If a student does not pass the course assessment (i.e., does not achieve a minimum grade of 5 out of 10), they may take a final retake exam on the date indicated in the course calendar. In addition to the final exam, the retake process is conditional upon the submission of the course assignment incorporating the corrections indicated by the professor, should that component have been deemed unsatisfactory. Regardless of the score obtained on the retake exam, if the student passes, the final course grade recorded will be 5 out of 10.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

In accordance with Article 266.9 of the UAB Academic Regulations, "when it is deemed that the student has not provided sufficient evidence for assessment, the course grade shall be recorded as 'non-assessable'."

Any student who copies or attempts to copy during any assessment activity will receive a grade of 0 for that test. Any student who submits an assignment or activity found to contain plagiarism or any other form of academic fraud will receive a grade of 0 and a formal warning. A repeat offense will result in the student failing the course. These measures are without prejudice to any applicable disciplinary actions under current academic regulations.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the work, provided the final result reflects a significant contribution by the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the activity's process and final outcome. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI will be considered academic fraud and will incur the corresponding penalty as established by the Academic Regulations.

Should unforeseen extraordinary circumstances arise that prevent the course from proceeding as normal, the teaching staff may modify both the course methodology and the assessment criteria.
