The evaluations of Evidence A1 and A2 will take place during the semester in the theory classes.

  • Evidence A1 - grupal (30%): Theory presentations. Must participate in a presentation. Oral feedback in the same session.
  • Evidence A2 - individual (3
  • 40%): Classroom debates. Must participate in a minimum of three debates (you can participate in all), and the weighted average of the three best contributions will be calculated. Oral feedback in the same session.
  • Evidence A3 - grupal (30%): Oral presentation of the psychopedagogical counseling project. Oral feedback in the same session.

The weighted sum of the grades of the activities that reaches 5 allows you to pass the subject, and you must have obtained at least a 4 in each of the evidence.

In this subject, the use of generative artificial intelligence tools is allowed to support the learning process, provided that they are used transparently, responsibly and critically. In all assessable activities, students must indicate whether or not they have used AI tools. If they have used them, they must specify which tools were used, for what purpose and in which phase of the work, and include a brief reflection on their contributions and limitations. AI cannot replace analysis, theoretical foundation, diagnosis, intervention design or one's own critical reflection. Undeclared, uncritical use or use that compromises the authorship of the work may result in a penalty in the qualification of the activity.

Resit: Students who, during continuous assessment, have completed evidence accounting for at least two-thirds of the total grade and have obtained a final mark below 5 but equal to or above 3.5 are eligible. The resit will consist of completing the activities that were not submitted or failed.

A student who has submitted learning evidence accounting for at least 4 points (40%) cannot be recorded as “NOT ASSESSED”.

Students enrolled for the second or subsequent time are not expected to be assessed solely through a single non-recoverable final test.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

Students who choose the single assessment option waive continuous assessment and will be assessed on all course content in a single evaluation, which will take place during the second evaluation week. This will be an open exam (catalan or spanish) covering the contents addressed in Evidences A1, A2, and A3.

The conditions for passing the course, access toresits, and the resit exam itself will be the same as for students following continuous assessment.

The single evaluation is requested electronically (e-form) during the specific period (more information on the Faculty website).
