Guided activities: face-to-face sessions to explain the syllabus and for the revision in the classroom of the exercises carried out throughout the course.

Supervised activities: review of the exercises proposed as an evaluation tool.

Autonomous activities: everything that should be done on behalf of students in preparation for the subject. It includes the consultation of diverse material (articles, reports, etc.) available in the virtual platform of the subject, as well as specialized bibliography, both the most general and the one that incidentally is quoted. The teacher does not follow any manual, despite the existence of several excellent ones in the market. Any suitable material may be used, such as newspaper articles, press magazines, etc.

Challenge-Based Learning (CBL): development throughout the semester of an informative resource to facilitate the understanding, by citizens and specifically young people, of territorial policies and the functioning of institutions.

To pass this subject, you must complete the module of the UAB library service's training course on plagiarism and copyright.

In this topic, a sexist use of language will not be allowed in students' oral and written contributions.

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.

This course uses the single assessment system explained at the end of this section.

The continuous assessment for this course consists of the following assessment activities:

• Final exam: 40% of the final grade.
• Two classroom exercises in groups of 3-4 people (one on stakeholder maps and the other on institutional data): 20% of the final grade. These exercises contribute to the development of the response to the challenge.
• Proposed resource to address the challenge presented at the beginning of the course (in groups of 3-4 people): 25% of the final grade.
• Oral presentation of the developed resource: 15% of the final grade.

The practical activities are mandatory (they cannot be retaken if they were not submitted, or if the grade is lower than 3.5).

For the first practical exercise, to receive the grade, it will be necessary to include the certificate of the LIBRARY TRAINING MODULE, which will be provided at the beginning of the course. The application of the learning from this course will be one of the assessment criteria for the final challenge.

The schedule of assessment tests cannot be modified (except in justified exceptional cases). Erasmus students requesting to take an exam earlier must submit a written document from their home university to the teaching team justifying their request.

Assessment requirements (1st call):

A minimum grade of 5 on the written exam is required to calculate the weighted average with the other parts of the assessment.

If this requirement is not met, this grade cannot be compensated with another, and the student will have to take the resit.

Submission of the practical work is mandatory. Attendance is mandatory for its completion, and the work must be submitted within the established period (which will be announced at the beginning of the course). Submissions will not be accepted after the deadline (except for students enrolled in the Single 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.

Requirements for recovery:

Failure to take the written exam will require students to take the retake. That is, despite the "mathematical" possibility of passing by submitting the assignments and attending all class sessions, this will not be the case without the written exam.

If the minimum required grade is not obtained on the written exam, the affected student must take the retake. The remaining grades will be used for the final grade.

Regarding assignments, only one assignment may be retaken (or grade improved), provided it was submitted within the established deadline during the semester (except for students opting for a single assessment). In other words, for assignments, re-evaluation does not allow the submission of an assignment that has not been previously completed and evaluated.

Furthermore, no other "alternative" assessment mechanism is foreseen (submission of a paper, reading reviews, etc.).

The oral presentation cannot be re-evaluated or retaken.

According to UAB regulations, to participate in the retake process, a minimum grade in the course average must have been obtained. This grade must be equal to or higher than 3.5. (These conditions are adapted to the UAB's assessment regulations in Article 112 ter. Retake http://www.uab.cat/doc/Modificacio_normativa_academica_CG120717).

"Not Assessable" Status

Students will receive a "Not Assessable" grade if they have not submitted more than 30% of the assessment activities.

Copying or Plagiarism

This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations.

The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity.

Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

The single assessment does not imply any changes to the teaching model nor is it related to in-person attendance; students must continue attending class as usual. It involves a single assessment date but not a single assessment activity. Therefore, students who have requested the single assessment system within the deadline established by the faculty will have to take the following individual assessment:

• Final Exam (40% of the final grade). To be taken on the same day and time as the rest of the group. The date will be announced in the syllabus at the beginning of the course.
• Two compulsory practical sessions (20% of the final grade). In the first practical session, in order to obtain the grade, it will be mandatory to include the certificate of completion of the LIBRARY TRAINING MODULE, which will be reported at the beginning of the course. The delivery of these practical sessions will be carried out on the same day as the written exam.
• Preparation of a resource that responds to the challenge proposed at the beginning of the course following the same instructions as the continuous assessment (25%). The delivery of the resulting product will be on the same day as the exam by the means established.
• Oral presentation of the challenge worked on (15%), of a duration equivalent to the presentation in class by the rest of the students (approx. 5 minutes).

The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
