Combinaremos una metodología expositiva, que no magistral, donde se centrarán conceptos con una metodología de clase invertida (Flipped classroom): los estudiantes visualizarán, trabajarán, harán búsqueda o leerán contenidos que luego analizaremos y profundizaremos en el aula, pero tendrán que venir a clase con trabajo hecho para poder continuar y centrarla en sus intereses.

Assessment

The evaluation system is continuous evaluation. It combines different types of tests and groupings to do exercices.

The tests will be adapted in case of functional diversity.

In case of not passing the subject according to the aforementioned criteria (continuous evaluation), a recovery test may be done on the date scheduled in the schedule, and it will cover the entire contents of the program.

To participate in the recovery the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which equals a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. However, the qualification that will consist of the student's file is a maximum of 5-Approved.

Students who need to change an evaluation date must present the justified request by filling in the document that you will find in the moodle space of Tutorial EPSI.

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the qualification will be classified by zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying, copying ..., an evaluation activity, will imply suspending this evaluation activity with zero (0). Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course.
