The course consists of two types of supervised activities, theoretical classes and problem classes, which are distributed throughout the course.

Theoretical classes

Through the exhibitions of the teacher the student must acquire the own knowledge of this subject and complement them with the study of each subject treated with the help of the material that the teachers can provide to the student through of the Virtual Campus and the recommended bibliography. These sessions will combine traditional lectures with active teaching methodologies whenever appropriate, including flipped classroom activities, problem-based learning (PBL), challenge-based learning (CBL), gamification, and other participatory learning strategies.

The theoretical classes will be open to the participation of the students, who will be able to raise to the professor the questions and clarifications that consider necessary.

Problem classes

The objective of this supervised activity is to solve problems and questions that have previously been raised to students through the Virtual Campus and that have had to be resolved previously, in a group or individually. Due to the smaller number of students in this type of classes, it is intended to stimulate the participation of students in the discussion of the alternatives to solve the problems, taking advantage of it to consolidate the knowledge acquired in the theory classes and in the study staff

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.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

The final grade for the course is calculated from the examination grades and the student's continuous work of the student (evidences of learning).

Weighted average of the exams of the subject = 0.50 x exam grade block I + 0.50 x exam grade block II

Final grade of course = 0.85 x weighted average grade of the exams of the subject + 0.15 x grade continuous work

To pass the course, both of the following conditions must be met:

1) The examination grade for each block must be ≥ 4.0

2) The final course grade must be ≥ 5.0

Continued work

1) Learning evidence will be collected for each block. Evidence may include: problems solved individually or in groups during class, short in-class tests, multiple-choice tests, self-assessment activities on the virtual campus, among others.

2) Failure to complete a learning evidence activity will result in a grade of zero for that activity.

Examinations:

1. A written examination will be held at the end of each block (Block I examination and Block II examination).
2. At the end of the semester, resit examinations and examinations for grade improvement will be offered for both blocks. To be eligible for the resit examination, students must previously have been assessed through activities accounting for at least two-thirds of the total course grade.
3. Students who do not need to take the resit examination to pass the course may take it voluntarily to improve the grade of one block.

a) If the student is required to take the resit examination to pass the course, the final grade for the block will be the grade obtained in the resit examination.

b) If the student voluntarily takes the resit examination to improve the grade, the final grade for the block will be:

-the resit examination grade, if it is higher than the original examination grade for that block.

-the average of the original block examination and the resit examination, if the resit examination grade is less than or equal to the original block examination grade.

UNIQUE EVALUATION

Within the regulatory period established by the University, students may request the single evaluation, renouncing the continuous evaluation.

The single assessment shall consist of two synthesis exams:

Synthesis exam of block I. It will have a weight of 50% in the final grade. You must obtain a minimum of 4.0 points (out of 10) to pass the subject.

Synthesis exam of block II. It will have a weight of 50% in the final grade. You must obtain a minimum of 4.0 points (out of 10) to pass the subject.

To pass the subject, a minimum final grade of 5.0 points (out of 10) must be obtained by taking the average of the two synthesis tests.

In the case of failing, students may take the resit exam for the entire course (block I + block II).

- This resit exam will also consist of two exams: block I and block II with a weight of 50% each.

- The same requirements will be requested to pass: minimum of 4.0 in each exam and 5.0 in the final grade of the course.

These synthesis and resit exams will coincide with the dates of the 2nd partial and recovery exams of the students who opt for continuous evaluation.

GENERAL COMMENTS

- Qualification of "Not evaluable". The subject will be graded with a "Not evaluable" when the student has not participated in any of the evaluation activities of one of the blocks in which the subject is divided (exams and continuous work).

- The grades of the approved students may be increased in the final record up to 1.0 points in order to achieve the distribution between passed, notable, excellent and MHs that the teachers consider suitable

- Students who do not pass the subject so that the grade of one of the two blocks is < 4.0, regardless of whether the final grade is greater than or equal to 5.0, will obtain a maximum final grade of 4.5 considering the subject suspended.

- Using unauthorized methods during one of the exams of the subject (copying or communicating with a classmate, use of mobile phones, use of smart watches, etc ...) will be penalized with a grade of "fail" in the overall of the subject of the current course.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Restricted use: For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as literature or information searches, text editing, or translation. Students must clearly identify the parts generated using AI, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how AI influenced both the process and the final outcome. Lack of transparency regarding AI use in assessable activities will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in partial or total penalties, or more severe disciplinary measures in serious cases.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or unauthorized use of AI, unless explicitly permitted in the course guide) that may significantly affect the assessment will result in a grade of 0 for that activity. If the course guide establishes that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment is an essential requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur within the same course, the final course grade will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student involved in such misconduct.
