To achieve the objectives of the course, the teaching methodology focuses on learning, using three types of strategies: 1) sessions with the whole group, 2) individual or small group activities within the classroom or on the Virtual Campus and 3) individual or group autonomous work for the preparation of writings and presentations. The tools provided by the UAB Virtual Campus and other internet resources will be used.

Sessions with the whole group: Classroom sessions complemented by personal study. These sessions will include a) presentations by the teaching staff that will encourage student participation in the form of debates or collective reflections, and b) flipped classroom, in which the students will previously analyse the study material and carry out previous tasks to discuss them later in the sessions in which doubts will be resolved and exercises will be carried out.

Evaluable individual or group classroom activities: Review exercises, reading controls, problem solving, discussion of shared readings and guided debates will be carried out.

Autonomous individual or group work: preparation for the flipped classroom, preparation of writings and preparation of presentations or debates that they will lead in front of the group.

Assessment:

Continuous assessment

a) A written test and the delivery of an essay: each with a weight of 25% of the final grade (total 50%). To pass the subject it is a requirement that the average of these instruments be a minimum of 5.

b) Activities carried out in the classroom or on the Virtual Campus: 20% of the final grade. To guarantee the involvement of students in the subject, as well as to preserve their formative sense, these activities are not recoverable, except exceptions agreed with the teaching staff.

c) Teamwork: 30% of the final grade. This evaluation will consider: the presentation (10%), the written work (10%), and the co-assessment (10%). The evaluation will be individual and will consider the co-assessment.

To pass the subject it is necessary to obtain at least a 5 in the final grade. At the end of the course, a recovery test will be carried out for students who have failed the written test and have not exceeded the minimum average between the test and the essay. To participate in the recovery, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject.

The grade 'Not evaluable' will be received as long as no more than 30% of the evaluation activities have been delivered.

At the time of carrying out each evaluation activity, the teaching staff will inform the students (Moodle) about the procedure and date for reviewing the grades.

If any irregularity is committed that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event of several irregularities in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

Single evaluation

The single evaluation consists of a summary test that includes the contents of the entire theory program with a weight of 50%. On the same day of this test, the exercises corresponding to the classroom practices will also be carried out with a weight of 25%. Before taking the test, an essay must be submitted 30 days in advance, on a topic agreed upon with the teaching staff, with a weight of 25%.

The same criteria regarding irregularities described in the continuous evaluation will be applied.

For the recovery, the same assessment method as for the continuous assessment will be used.

Revision of grades

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches. Students must clearly identify, where applicable, which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final outcome of the assignment. Failure to disclose the use of AI in the assignments will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalization in the course grade, or more severe penalties in serious cases.
