Methodology

The teaching will be face-to-face.
The teaching material will be available in digital format in the Moodle classroom of the course.
The proposed teaching methodology may experience some modification depending on the restrictions on face-to-face attendance imposed by the health authorities.

Evaluation Process

The evaluation process will consist of:

1) Final exam with a weight of 50%

2) Midterm exam with a weight of 35%

3) Group presentation with a weight of 15%

The student will be considered "non-assessable" if he/she has not submitted more than 30% of the assessment activities.

Calendar of Evaluation Activities

The dates of the different assessments will be announced well in advance during the semester (during the first week of classes).

The schedule of assessments cannot be modified unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an assessment cannot be carried out. In this case, the program coordinators, after consulting with the faculty and affected students, will propose a new schedule within the corresponding academic period. Section 1 of Article 115. Calendar of Assessment Activities (UAB Academic Regulations)

The teacher will choose the most suitable and efficient type of assessment for individual rescheduling, including oral exams.

Grade Review Procedure

The date and method for publishing grades will be announced at the end of each exam. Information will be provided regarding the procedure, location, date, and time for exam reviews, in accordance with University regulations.

Retake Exam

"For being eligible to attent the retake exam, the students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities that represents at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject or module." Section 3 of Article 112 ter. Remediation (UAB Academic Regulations).

The student must have obtained an average grade for the subject between 3.5 and 4.8 to be eligible to take the retake exam.

The date of this exam will be scheduled in the Faculty's exam calendar.

Irregularities in Assessment Activities

Without prejudice to any other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "if a student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant change in the grade for an assessment activity, that assessment activity will be graded as 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0." Section 10 of Article 116. Assessment Results. (UAB Academic Regulations)

Rules of Conduct

Without prejudice to any other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, the professor may reduce the average grade obtained in "additional assessment activities" by between 1 and 2 points out of 10 for any student who repeatedly fails to respect the professor's instructions regarding rules of conduct in class. The professor will announce these rules at the beginning of the course.

The proposed assessment may be subject to modification depending on any restrictions on in-person attendance imposed by health authorities.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

This course allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively for tasks such as [bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations, at the professor's discretion].

The student must:

(i) identify the parts that were generated using AI;

(ii) specify the tools used;

(iii) include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and will result in a grade of 0, which cannot be retaken, or more severe penalties in serious cases.

Exchange students

Exchange students requesting to take an exam early must present the professor with a written document from their home university justifying their request.

SINGLE EVALUATION (Art. 265 of the UAB Academic Regulations)

Requesting a single evaluation implies waiving continuous assessment.

The single evaluation must be requested from the Academic Management Office of the Faculty where the degree/master's program is being pursued, within the deadline and following the procedure established in the Faculty's administrative calendar.

Student attendance is mandatory on the day of the single assessment. The date will be the same as the date of the final exam, as indicated in the assessment calendar published by the Faculty and approved by the Faculty's Teaching and Academic Affairs Committee.

The duration of the single evaluation exam must be specified within the activity's characteristics.

100% of the required evidence must be submitted on the day of the single assessment.

RETAKE EXAM:

No distinction is made during the retake exam between students who have taken continuous evaluation and single evaluation assessment.

FINAL GRADE REVISION:

The final grade review follows the same procedure as for continuous assessment.
