5. Projects and assignments

The theoretical aspects of the programme will be combined with learning through practical research cases. In all cases, processes of reflection on how we learn will be promoted, as is characteristic of any activity that seeks to delve deeper into the mechanisms of knowledge production.

Note: The course content will be sensitive to issues related to gender perspective and the use of inclusive language.

1. 1. Evaluation

The final grade will result of combining four ways of evaluating the academic performance:

1.-Carrying out essays that will be the 50% of the final grade. 50%

2.-Taking a type test exam about the reading of a text. The qualification of this test will be a 30% of the final grade.

3.-Oral presentation to the class of one of the readings of the course, valued at 10% of the final grade.

4.-Class attendance and participating in debates and academic controversies that will take place in class. This will be a 10% of the final grade.

2. Reevaluation

Students will be entitled to reassessment in the course if they have been evaluated on a set of activities accounting for at least two-thirds of the total course grade.

Both the test and the essay can be retaken. Assistance and participation and oral presentation will be not evaluated a second time.

Only students who have failed the test or the essays previously will be suitable for retaking either one or both of them, as long as their final mark for the module is below 5 points. Students with a higher final grade than 4,9 will not be able to retake any activity.

3. Not evaluable

It will be considered non-assessable when less than 85% of the assessable evidence is provided.

4.Ordinary revision of the evaluation activities

In the case of not agreeing with the marks given to each different evaluation activity, the student will have the right to an ordinary revision of those with the professor. The date and time of this revision will be announced on the Virtual Campus module’s class.

5.Extraordinary revision of the module’s final mark

In case of not agreeing with the final qualification of the module, the student will have the right to ask for an extraordinary revision. He or she will have to fill a reasoned request to the Communication Sciences Faculty office within the fifteen days following the publication of the final mark. The revision will be carried outfollowing the extraordinary revision instructions approved by the Faculty Board on the 5^th of May of 2016, whichcan be found on the Faculty’s web:http://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/grados/informacion-academica/evaluacion/revision-extraordinaria-de-la-calificacion-final-1345717361537

6. Single assessment

This module does not include a single assessment system.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for tasks such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. Students must clearly identify any parts generated with these technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how AI has influenced the process and final outcome of the assignment. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases. Teachers will be able to use tools to detect similarities or plagiarism and tools to detect the use of generative artificial intelligence.

Any student suspected of submitting assignments that have been generated by AI, written by others or copied; include unattributed AI-generated content, or fall outside the permitted scope, may be asked to provide the preliminary work or ther materials that can demonstrate it is original work and the result of their own authorship. They may also be asked to separately explain or justify their work. Teachers may also use AI detection systems or carry out any verification tasks they deem appropriate. If, after review, the instructor detects irregularities, the assignment may be graded zero, and the student may be subject to further disciplinary action.

PLAGIARISM

The performance of any irregularity in an evaluation act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized by the teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, assumes that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide foresees that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this evaluation act or that there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be instructed to the student that incurs any of these irregularities.

NOTE: The proposed teaching methodology and evaluation activities may undergo some modifications depending on the health authorities' attendance restrictions.
