The subject combines theory classes, classroom practices, seminars, practical work and a field trip.

(a)   Theory classes where the concepts and methods of the discipline are explained. In the theoretical sessions, the complicated and important points of each didactic unit are highlighted and addressed. Subsequently, the student will have to assimilate the concepts explained based on the bibliographic information and with their personal work.

(b)   Classroom practice and problems where the explanation of the basis of the main assessment and evaluation methods will be combined with calculations on the computer through case studies.

(c)   Seminar classes where some aspect of the environmental assessment of specific practical cases will be explored in depth.

(d)   Practical work aimed at knowledge of the processes and documents involved in the environmental assessment.

(e)   Field practice where a trip to the field will be made to observe and discuss the impacts produced by human actions.

Communication with students will be carried out through the subject's Moodle.

Separate evaluations will be carried out for Block I, Block II, the practical work and attendance. Student can approve \"per course\" (continuous assessment) or in a final \"compensatory\" test.

The final grade will be calculated according to the following weights, expressed as a percentage:

- Block I test: 30%

- Block II test: 30%

- Practical work in groups: 25%

- Attendance to PCAM, PAUL and SE: 15%

To pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain a grade of no less than 3.5 out of 10 in each of the three parts and an average grade greater than 4.9 out of 10. The format, procedure, and specific content of the evaluation tests for each part It will be detailed by the corresponding teacher throughout the course.

The partial exams corresponding to Block I and Block II that are failed (less than 4.9 out of 10) can be recovered in a compensatory test in January. The maximum mark for retaking the midterm exams will not exceed 7 out of 10 points, provided that the student has taken the midterm previously and has been assessed with a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade for the subject.

Students obtain the grade of \"Not Evaluable\" when the evaluation activities carried out have a weight of less than 67% in the final grade. Attendance at practical sessions, seminars and field trips is mandatory.

The student can request the single assessment. The request for a single assessment implies the waiver of continuous assessment, and involves the delivery of an individual practical work. To request the single assessment, students must submit a reasoned request to the center within the deadlines set in the UAB's administrative academic calendar.

Note on copying, plagiarism, and other irregularities

Without prejudice to any other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, any irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a change in the grade will be marked with a zero (0). Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure cannot be retaken. If passing any of these assessment activities is required to pass the course, the course will be automatically failed, with no opportunity to retake it in the same academic year. These irregularities include, among others:

• Total or partial copying of an assignment, report, or any other assessment activity.
• Allowing others to copy.
• Submitting a group project that has not been entirely carried out by the members of the group.
• Presenting as one’s own materials prepared by a third party, even if they are translations or adaptations, and, in general, work containing non-original elements.
• Having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smartwatches, etc.) accessible during individual theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams).

If the course is not passed because one or more assessment activities do not reach the minimum required grade, the final recorded grade will be the lower value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the grades. Exceptions: a “not assessable” grade will be given to students who do not participate in any assessment activities, and the recorded grade will be the lower value between 3.0 and the weighted average if the student has committed irregularities in an assessment activity (therefore, passing by compensation will not be possible).
