Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company tutor report | 60% | 0 | 0 | CM36, CM37, CM38, KM36, KM37, SM38, SM39 |
| Internship report | 30% | 0 | 0 | CM36, CM37, CM38, KM36, KM37, SM38, SM39 |
| Professor's evaluation | 10% | 0 | 0 | CM36, CM37, CM38, KM36, KM37, SM38, SM39 |
The evaluation will be carried out, once the internship in the company or institution has ended, based on the final report that the student presents to the academic tutor and the evaluation report provided by the organization.
The qualification of the practices will be obtained from the qualifications of three evidences:
1. The preparation of a practical report prepared by the student. (30% of the final mark). The form of this document will be decided by the internship tutor assigned by the Faculty. As a guideline, it is advisable to consult the indications set by the Faculty regarding this report: https://www.uab.cat/doc/informefinaldepracticum.pdf
2. Evaluation report drawn up by the tutor of the company/practice center (60% of the final mark).
3. Supervision of practical teacher-tutor assigned by the Faculty (10% of the final grade).
It will be necessary for the student to do a tutorial with the person in charge of the subject, at the beginning or at the end of the stay.
As a measure to improve teaching monitoring, a reduced monthly report can be requested, which will also have an evaluative character and purpose, as well as other complementary documents such as a brief sheet on the data, characteristics and circumstances of the internship.
To pass this course it is necessary to obtain a final grade equal to or higher than 5.
In order to be evaluated, students must use the document models (report, company evaluation document, etc.) that in each academic year indicate and/or expressly provide their academic tutor of the practicum. And they must also follow their specific instructions.
As a general rule, the final report and the evaluation document signed by the internship company must be delivered to the academic tutor within a maximum of 10 calendar days from the last day of the internship.
Students who do not complete at least 2/3 of the hours set in the agreement, and/or who do not obtain an evaluation document from their tutor from the internship company, will be considered non-evaluable.
This subject, due to its own configuration, is not recoverable.
For more information, students are advised to consult the \"Practicum Regulations\" and \"Final Practicum Report\", available on the Faculty's website.
Review notes:
The review of notes is an automatic procedure that begins when the note is made public. From that moment, the students have one week to request, by e-mail, a tutorial with the teacher responsible for the subject to analyze the final grade. After one week from the date of publication of the grade, no request for revision of the grade will be accepted.
This guide is a general regulatory framework for the practicum, but students must take into account that the academic tutors can change each semester and be different for the different enrollment groups. The assignment of tutors for each semester and enrollment group depends on the departments with assigned teaching, which are responsible for making public the numbers of the tutors for the knowledge of the students. For this reason, being a diverse and changing teaching staff, the teaching team cannot appear in this annual guide.
Plagiarism and Use of Artificial Intelligence
In the event that a student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant change in the grade of an assessment activity, that activity will be graded with a 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted in the submission of the internship report. Any work that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade for the activity, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
