| Case studies, exercises and problem | 120 | 4.8 | CA12, CA13, KA06, KA07, KA08, SA12, SA13 |
This is a blended study with a high percentage of autonomous and supervised work.
The subject consists of two units. Each unit lasts for 3 weeks; at this time the student must participate in the discussion forums and solve the activities that are proposed.
Individual activity reports delivered by the students, one per unit, consist of different activities defined by the teacher in charge of each unit.
At the beginning of each unit, the student receives a rubric with the evaluation criteria and the percentage of its value in the total evaluation of the unit.
The subject does not include a synthesis test.
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preparation and development of the activities of development | 40 | 2 | 0.08 | CA12, CA13, KA06, KA07, KA08, SA12, SA13 |
| Preparation and development of the activities of application | 40 | 2 | 0.08 | CA12, CA13, KA06, KA07, KA08, SA12, SA13 |
| Participation and implication in the forums posed and in the sessions of follow-up of the units | 10 | 4 | 0.16 | CA12, CA13, KA06, KA07, KA08, SA12, SA13 |
| Personal reflection regarding the learnings realized in the module and resolution of complementary activities | 10 | 2 | 0.08 | CA12, CA13, KA06, KA07, KA08, SA12, SA13 |
The following criteria will be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the subject: the quality of the activities carried out, participation in the forums, the learning achieved, the link between the answers and professional practice and their relevance to the aims and contents of the master's degree. In addition, it is essential to show an attitude compatible with the educational profession.
This course has a mandatory in-person session; failure to attend will result in a one-point deduction from the final grade. Only in very exceptional cases and with the presentation of appropriate justification will absence from the session be permitted.
To proceed to the presentation and evaluation of the TFM, it is necessary to obtain an average in each of the subjects higher than 5 and to have passed more than 80% of the units. The work must be deposited in the Moodle classroom within the established time. The person responsible for the unit must report the result of the correction within a period not exceeding fifteen days after the delivery of the work. At the end of the units, they will be given the opportunity to recover, if necessary, the activities not passed on in each unit.
Copying or plagiarism, in any type of assessment test, constitutes a crime and will be penalized with a 0 as the grade for the subject, losing the possibility of recovering it. Work or activity will be considered to be "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of the work of another colleague. A work or activity will be considered to be "plagiarized" when a part of a text is presented as one's own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html.
In this subject, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity is considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the qualification of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases. Specific validations may be carried out to guarantee authorship and the acquisition of skills in case of suspicion of academic fraud.
To pass this subject, it is necessary to demonstrate good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language. In all activities, linguistic correction, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be considered. Students must be able to express themselves with fluency and correctness and show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.
The activities of this subject must be submitted at two different times. The activities of unit 5A will be submitted no later than 11/04/2027 at 23:55 Spanish time and the activities of unit 5B will be submitted no later than 2/05/2027 at 23:55 Spanish time.
If the grade of the units is insufficient, the professor responsible for the module will leave a period of 15 days so that the activities that do not reach the required level can be redone.
Students who wish to take advantage of the single assessment will be able to submit all the activities of the module on June 27, 2027, and will be able to take advantage of the same recovery system that has been arbitrated for the continuous assessment.
If the assigned activities for each subject are not submitted, the subject will be considered not graded. A grade of not graded on the final evaluation report implies the exhaustion of all rights associated with enrollment in the subject.
