The student is the main agent in the teaching-learning process, and based on this principle, a methodology focused on continuous work has been designed. Therefore, attendance is important in this course. Following the course requires active engagement in learning and responsibility throughout the entire process.

The Virtual Campus (VC) is the official communication space for the course. It is the student’s responsibility to access the VC and keep their email profile updated in order to stay informed of news and information posted throughout the course.

The methodology involves continuous work through:

• Personal study and work: information research, extending the syllabus, comprehensive reading of mandatory texts, creating outlines, concept maps, and summaries of the materials covered inside and outside the classroom.
• Theoretical and practical classes led by the professor: lectures, flipped classroom format, and use of audiovisual materials.
• Text discussion seminars: sessions for debating mandatory readings with individual and/or group participation.
• Preparation and presentation of assignments: documentation search; writing, drafting, and presenting assignments; public presentation of the work.

TUTORIALS: Student support through office (or virtual, in justified and previously agreed cases) tutorials, individually or in groups. The office hours will be communicated by the professor on the first day of class and will also be available on the VC.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Assessment in this course is understood as a continuous and progressive process that extends throughout the entire teaching period. At the beginning of the course, students will be provided with a calendar of assessment activities. Specific instructions for each activity, completion and submission formats, and detailed assessment rubrics or criteria will be published on the Virtual Campus.

Continuous assessment will consist of the following activities:

Individual written examination (35% of the final grade)

Students will take an individual written examination covering the theoretical, conceptual, ethnographic and applied content addressed throughout the course. The examination may include essay questions, short-answer questions, case analyses, texts or other materials, as well as exercises requiring the application of concepts and perspectives covered during the course.

Individual project on analysis and applied intervention from a gender perspective (30% of the final grade)

Students will complete an individual project focusing on a contemporary issue related to the course content. The project must combine an analysis of the selected issue with an applied proposal addressed to a specific context, institution, service, group or stakeholder.

Readings and in-class analysis activities (20% of the final grade)

Throughout the course, students will complete activities related to the compulsory readings and the theoretical and ethnographic debates addressed in the course. These activities may combine prior preparation of the texts, group discussion, critical commentary, and individual or group exercises involving analysis and conceptual application carried out in class.

The compulsory readings will be available on the Virtual Campus.

Guest lectures and analysis and synthesis activities (15% of the final grade)

The course will include at least two guest lectures or sessions with researchers, professionals or representatives of organisations working in fields related to the subject matter of the course. Attendance at these sessions is compulsory. Absences may only be compensated for when duly justified, through an alternative activity determined by the teaching staff.

To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum final grade of 5 out of 10, calculated as the weighted average of the different assessment activities.

REVIEW OF GRADES

When each assessment activity takes place, the teaching staff will inform students, via the Virtual Campus, of the procedure and date for reviewing grades.

“NOT ASSESSABLE” GRADE

Students will receive a “Not assessable” grade if they have completed or submitted assessment activities representing 30% or less of the final grade for the course.

RESIT ASSESSMENT

Students who have failed the course may take part in the resit assessment provided that they meet the criteria for being assessed and have obtained a minimum final grade of 3.5 out of 10.

The individual written examination and the individual project on analysis and applied intervention from a gender perspective may be retaken or resubmitted. The characteristics and procedures of the resit activities will be specified by the teaching staff.

Reading and analysis activities carried out in class and activities linked to guest lectures cannot be retaken or resubmitted, given their continuous nature and their connection with the development of the course sessions.

Assessment activities affected by academic misconduct cannot be retaken or resubmitted.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

The single-assessment system will allow students to demonstrate the same learning outcomes as continuous assessment and will consist of the following assessment components:

Individual written examination (50% of the final grade)

The examination will assess the theoretical, conceptual, ethnographic and applied content of the course, including the compulsory readings. It may include essay questions, short-answer questions, case analyses, texts or other materials, and exercises involving conceptual application.

Individual project on analysis and applied intervention from a gender perspective (30% of the final grade)

The project will have the same aims and general criteria as the continuous-assessment project. The final product may adopt any of the formats established for this activity and must be submitted on the date scheduled for single assessment. Specific guidelines and the assessment rubric will be available on the Virtual Campus.

Oral examination on analysis and application (20% of the final grade)

This examination will consist of the analysis and discussion of a case, text, material or issue related to the course content, readings and theoretical perspectives.

All three single-assessment components will be completed or submitted on the date, at the time and in the place specified on the Virtual Campus.

To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum final grade of 5 out of 10, calculated as the weighted average of the three assessment components.

The same resit system as for continuous assessment will apply, adapted to the activities specific to this assessment system. The individual written examination, the individual project on analysis and applied intervention, and the oral examination on analysis and application may all be retaken or resubmitted.

The same “Not assessable” criterion as for continuous assessment will apply.

The review of the final grade will follow the same procedure as for continuous assessment.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS

Exchange students who request to take an assessment activity earlier than scheduled must provide the teaching staff with written documentation from their home university justifying the request.

IRREGULARITIES IN ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

If a student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded for an assessment activity, that activity will be awarded a grade of 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If several irregularities occur in assessment activities for the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translation. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity.

Failure to disclose the use of AI in an assessment activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty on the grade for the activity, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
