IN THIS SUBJECT IT IS NOT PERMITTED THE US OF ARTICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), COMPUTER AND MOBILE
In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted in all six phases. Any work that includes fragments generated by AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may entail a partial or total penalty in the activity grade, or major sanctions in serious cases. It is also not permissible for computer or mobile devices, nor for taking notes, nor for practical purposes or tests. The only occasion in which computers or mobiles can be used will be in the case of presentations.
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
To pass the subject, you must do:
-A coursework consisting of a video essay on a topic agreed upon with the teacher and done by groups of 5 or 6 people that represents 50% of the final grade. The grade will be the same for all people.
-A written test done in groups of 2 or 3 people or individually. In the case of doing it in a group, the grade will be the same for all people. This test represents 30% of the final grade. The test will be in person and with notes (manuscripts or printed)
-A 10-minute group presentation in a seminar on a topic previously agreed upon with the teacher. This presentation represents 20% of the final grade. In this case, computers and mobile phones may be used
The sum of the work (50%), the written test (30%) and the presentation (20%) will be the final grade obtained. All three things must be approved to pass the subject.
Recovery system:
a) According to regulations, in order to participate in the recovery process, students must have previously been evaluated for at least 2/3 of the total activity of the subject
b) Theory can only be recovered if the student has taken the theoretical test set for continuous assessment and has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. The recovery test will also consist of a written test to evaluate theoretical knowledge with notes (manuscripts or printed)
c) The presentation can only be recovered if the group has previously taken the presentation set for continuous assessment and has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. Recovery will consist of a new 10-minute presentation
d) The coursework cannot be recovered in the event of failure. The reason is that it is a video essay and due to its own characteristics it is practically impossible to do it in the time available for recovery.
SINGLE ASSESSMENT:
On the day set for the single assessement:
-A course work must be presented in the form of a video essay on a topic previously agreed upon with the teacher. It can be done in groups if all its members are enrolled in single evaluation, if not, it must be done individually. The work represents 50% of the final grade.
-A 10-minute group presentation must be made in a seminar on a topic previously agreed upon with the teacher. This presentation represents 20% of the final grade. In this case, computers and mobile phones may be used. Remember that all members of the group must be enrolled in evaluation. If not, it must be done individually
-A written test with notes must be done in groups of 2 or 3 people (all enrolled in single assessment) or individually. In the case of doing it in a group, the grade will be the same for all people. This test represents 30% of the final grade. The test will be in person and with notes (manuscripts or printed).
The sum of the work (50%), the written test (30%) and the presentation (20%) will be the final grade obtained in the subject. All three must be passed to pass the subject.
Recovery system:
a) According to regulations, in order to participate in the recovery process, students must have previously been evaluated for at least 2/3 of the total activity of the subject
b) Theory can only be recovered if the student has taken the theoretical test set for the single assessment and has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. The recovery test will also consist of a written test to evaluate theoretical knowledge with notes (manuscripts or printed)
c) The presentation can only be recovered if the group or person has previously taken the presentation set for the single assessment and has obtained a grade lower than 4.9. Recovery will consist of a new 10-minute presentation
d) The coursework cannot be recovered if it is failed. The reason is that it is a video essay and due to its own characteristics it is practically impossible to do it in the time available for recovery.
Irregularities:
Any person who commits any irregularity (copying, plagiarism, impersonation, ...) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with 0 in that assessment act. In the event that there are several irregularities, the final grade for the subject will be 0.
Not Assessable:
According to point 9 of article 266 of the UAB Academic Regulations, \"when it is considered that the student has not been able to provide sufficient evidence of assessment, this subject must be classified as not assessable\". Both in the case of having enrolled in this subject in the continuous assessment option and in the case of doing it in the single assessment option, it will be considered “not assessable” if the presentation, the coursework and the written test have not been done.
