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.

Continuous assessment

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out continuously throughout the semester taking into account the following criteria: The final grade will be in accordance to the following evaluation acts and corresponding weights:

1) To pass the course it will be essential to obtain an average grade equal to or greater than 5.

2) 15% of the final grade corresponds to exercises, practical cases in the classroom and case studies uploaded through the Virtual Campus.

3) 50% of the final grade corresponds to two written tests to be done in class.

4) 35% of the final grade corresponding to the final exam.

Students who have participated in the continuous assessment and fail, may overcome the result provided they have obtained a minimum score of 3 points, and have attended the ordinary review of the grade. The grade reached in the second chance exam (re-evaluation activity) will be the final grade. The second chance exam will take place within the period established in the academic calendar of the faculty.

All failed activities, may have a second chance whenever the student has been evaluated in a minimum of 2/3 of the total evaluable activities.

Single assessment (for those students whose application has been accepted)

Choosing this assessment option implies waiving continuous assessment. All examinations or activity submissions will take place on the same date.

The activities of single assessment are: theoretical exam (40%), exercises (35%), and written review of a book to be agreed with the instructor (25%).

All the activities of the single assessment are recoverable. The student may have a second chance whenever has been evaluated in a minimum of 2/3 of the total evaluable activities.

Students who begin the evaluation process exhaust the call and will have a final grade of passed or failed for the subject, in no case ofnot presented. The only exception is in the case of students who have opted for continuous assessment and have only presented for one of the three written exams, in which case, the grade is 'no grade reported'.

From the second enrollment onwards, the assessment of the course may consist of a comprehensive examination that allows for the evaluation of the learning outcomes specified in the course syllabus. In this case, the final grade for the course will correspond to the grade obtained in the comprehensive examination. Details of the examination will be communicated in due course to students who choose this assessment option.

Artificial Intelligence

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.

Plagiarism

In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

Irregularities

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.

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.
