| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Read Dossier Files | 15% | 20 | 0.8 | CM13, KM13, KM14, SM19, SM21 |

Module 1: essay
Final project (group activity). 30%. Reflection and proposal definition of 'family' based on analyzing a family domestic unit. The lecturer will detail the submission format in the first session and render the information on the Virtual Campus.
Dossier Files and deliver comment question raised. Activity that can be done in a group. 15%
Module 2: Participation
Participation and delivery of evidence from materials worked on in the classroom. 15%. This module cannot be reassessed.
Module 3: Written Test
Written test on basic concepts. 40%.
The lecturer will present learning activities and course calendars in the first session and will be available on the Virtual Campus so that students can access them.
Students will receive a grade of "Non-assessable" if they have completed or submitted assessment activities representing 30% or less of the final grade.
To PASS the subject, the student must pass modules 1 and 3 (Final project, Dossier Files and Written Test). The minimum grade to pass each of them is a \"5\".
Procedure for REVIEWING grades: At the time of each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date to grade reviewing.
Reassessment: If reassessment was needed, students must have been previously graded in modules 1 and 3. The module 2 cannot be reassessed. To retake Module 1, the final project must be redone in accordance with the assessment feedback, while Module 3 is retaken via a new test. The minimum passing grade in both cases is 5.
AI TECHNOLOGIES: This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches an dtext correction.
The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity.
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.
If the student performs any irregularity (plagiarism, academic fraud due to unauthorized use of AI tools, etc.) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with a zero (0), regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event that there were several irregularities in the assessment of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be zero (0).
SINGLE ASSESSMENT (SA)
On the single assessment date, students who take advantage of the single assessment must complete the following tests:
-30% Reflection and proposal definition of the concept of 'family' based on the analysis of a family domestic unit different from one's own, completing all the parts of the work according to the script provided by the lecturer
-20% Work on the material given to the student at the beginning of the test, following the guidelines that the lecturer will provide.
-50% Exam on basic course concepts.
Length:
These tests may exceed 4 hours so that they may be scheduled outside the usual teaching slot.
Procedure for grade reviewing:
At the time of each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and the date of review of the grades.
Consideration of \"Not assessed\":
Students who do not complete tests 1 and 3 on the day and time established as the single evaluation test will be NOT ASSESSED.
Reassessment (SA):
To participate in the retake assessment under the single assessment mode, students must submit all required assignments (Family concept paper, material prepared according to guidelines, and the exam) and pass each of them with a minimum score of 5.
Plagiarism/irregularities/AI (AU):
The same actions apply as in the case of continuous evaluation.
