The teaching methodology is based on theoretical classes, as well as on readings, exercises and personal study. All this is supervised in the tutorials.

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 the various teaching materials deemed appropriate by the instructors 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.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.

Grading will be based on three items. Two of them will be written exercises and will be assigned throughout the semester. The last written exercise will be a final exam (50% of the final assessment).

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

In order to pass, the student must get at least a final mark of 5, resulting from the weighted sum of the marks of the three evaluating items, according to their percentage. Should the final mark be between 3.5 and 4.9, the student will be able to resit the final exam to pass the subject.

Resit

Students will be entitled to the revaluation of the subject. They should present a minimum of activities that equals two-thirds of the total grading. The resit exam is not aimed at improving the final mark. It only allows the student to pass the subject with a final mark of 5.

Not evaluable

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

Final mark

It will result from the weighted sum of the marks of the different evaluation items, according to their percentage. The resit exam willinclude contents of all the topics taught during the semester.

Evaluation surveys

15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the timetable established by the centre/title, for the complementation by the students of the assessment surveys of the teaching staff's performance and the assessment of the subject.

Single evaluation

Students who so express it may take a single evaluation. Choosing this option does not exclude class attendance. This will consist of three evaluation activities that will represent, respectively, 25%, 25% and 50% of the final grade. The first two will be analyzes of historical materials and must be delivered on the day of the synthesis exam/assignment, which will consist of a final exam on the day set in the calendar. The course grade will correspond to the sum of the three activities. Should the final mark be between 3.5 and 4.9, the student will be able toresit the final exam to pass the subject.

Second enrolment

In the case of a second enrolment, students can do a single synthesis exam/assignment that will consist of final exam. The grading of the subject will correspond to the grade of the synthesis exam/assignment

Plagiarism

The performance of any irregularity in an evaluation act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized by the teaching guide),

which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, assumes that this act will be

graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide foresees that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this

evaluation act or that there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be instructed to the student that incurs any of these irregularities.

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of assignment development, provided that the final outcome demonstrates a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. Students must clearly identify any content generated using AI, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these technologies have influenced both the process and the final result of the assignment. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

Any student suspected of submitting assignments that have been generated by AI, written by others or copied; include unattributed AI-generated content, or fall outside the permitted scope, may be asked to provide the preliminary work or other materials that can demonstrate it is original work and the result of their own authorship. They may also be asked to separately explain or justify their work. Teachers may also use AI detection systems or carry out any verification tasks they deem appropriate. If, after review, the instructor detects irregularities, the assignment may be graded zero, and the student may be subject to further disciplinary action.
