The methodology of the course will consist of theory and problem-solving sessions, which will be held in the classroom, and student's self-work. Problem-solving sessions will be in flexible format and adaptable to the features of each topic.

Tests of short duration, made in class (4 points).

Delivery of problems and / or short essays (2 points).

Written exam at the end of the semester (4 points).

At the time of each assessment activity, the instructor will inform students, via Moodle, of the procedure and the date for the review of grades.

In the case on Non-Erasmus students, only requests to change the date of classroom tests and the final exam due to medical reasons will be accepted, and the corresponding medical certificate must be provided. Erasmus students who request to take an exam earlier must present the teacher with a written document from their home university justifying their request.

In order to pass the subject, the student should have an overall grade equal to or higher than 5.0. If the student has failed, but a minimum of 3,5 is obtained in the global assessment, a written makeup test on the entire content of the subject will entitle the student to pass the subject. To be eligible for the make-up assessment, students must have previously been assessed through a set of activities whose combined weight accounts for at least two-thirds of the total continuous assessment grade. Morevoer, the grades obtained in the short in-class quizzes and the submission of problem sets or essays will not be taken into account.

A student will receive a Non-assessable grade if they have submitted no more than 30% of the assessment activities.

In the event a student makes any irregularity that lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to a specific assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may further take place. In the eventof several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

This subject does not admit one-off assessment.

This course allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively for the submission of brief essays, specifically for bibliographic research or information searching and text correction. 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.
