Transparency in the use of AI: For this subject, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks such as information search, text correction, translations or information organization. The student must clearly identify the use made of AI, share with the faculty the interactions maintained with AI tools and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

The final grades will be awarded according to the following criteria: a) 25% for participation in class (not for mere passive attendance); b) 25% for the response to the case raised; c) 50% for taking the exam. Once the final evaluation has been communicated, a review may be requested in order for the Professor to explain to the student the criteria applied (art. 114.3 UAB Academic Regulations), without prejudice to the student's rights to challenge the grade.

 

The date of the final exam of the subject is scheduled in the exam calendar of the Faculty.

 

The scheduling of the evaluation tests cannot be modified, unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an evaluation act cannot be carried out. In this case, the people responsible for the Master Degree, after consulting the lecturers and the student, will propose a new schedule within the corresponding school period (art. 115.1 Calendar of evaluation activities, UAB Academic Regulations).

 

To pass the subject, the student must have participated in the three evaluation activities and to obtain at least a 3,5 at the final exam. To take the final exam, it is necessary to attend at 90% of the classes.

 

To retake the exam, it is necessary to have obtained at least 3 in each of the three evaluation activities. Students who retake the exam may obtain a maximum grade of 7 in the subject.

  

It will be considered that a student who participates in any of the continuous evaluation activities will no longer be eligible for a “non-evaluable” status.

 

 This subject/module does not provide for a single evaluation system.
