Learning Portfolio
On the first day of the course, the teachers will present the index of the learning portfolio that will include each of the products and the evidence that makes it up, detailing the delivery and review dates of the portfolio.
The activities will be distributed throughout the course in the different seminars. In the indicated sessions, the Learning Portfolio will be presented with the evidences that the student must have carried out according to the terms of the index.
In order to pass the course, each and every one of the evidences of the proposed learning portfolio must be presented and the self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment activities must be carried out.
Students who wish to, may carry out voluntary tasks that complement their learning portfolio. These tasks and their evidence cannot replace any of the evidence described in the learning portfolio index.
The feedback of each of the activities in the index of the Learning Portfolio will take place in the public presentation sessions of the portfolio and the student who wishes to carry out an individual review will do so in the office hours established for this course.
In order to pass the course, an average equal to or greater than 5 must be achieved. To be able to do the average with the activities, a minimum of 5 must be obtained in each of the obligatory evaluation activities.
The grades obtained in each of the evaluation activities will be given to the student through the publication of the results in the On-line Campus within 20 days of their delivery. The student who needs to review the grade will have to do so within 15 days after its publication during office hours established.
Students who have adequately followed the course through the year, but still have some aspect not achieved, will be given the opportunity to pass the course, doing additional assignments or redoing some of the activities carried out before. Each case will have to be studied depending on the situation of each student. The teachers will indicate to the students the requirements to be able to recover the parts not overcome.
Students who repeat the course may request only a final summary evaluation, but this must be discussed with the teaching staff at the beginning of the course.
Other Assessment Policies
Attendance in the course's face-to-face classes is compulsory. The student who does not attend at least 80% of the guided sessions and all the evaluation sessions may not be evaluated with the instruments described below and will be considered as not presented.
The supporting documents that are sometimes presented in case of absence serve only to explain the absence, in no case do they exempt from attendance. Only in cases related to medical and legal issues, and duly documented, the faculty responsible for the course may arbitrate, if possible, complementary activities that compensate for the required attendance.
An attitude compatible with the education profession must be shown as a requirement for passing the course. Some skills are active listening, respect, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgment, argumentation, proper use of the mobile phone, etc.
To pass this course, the student must show, in the activities proposed, a good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or languages used in the syllabus.
We remind you that in the case of Catalan language in 1st and 2nd-year students are required to have a linguistic competence equivalent to Level 1 for Teachers of Childhood and Primary Education; and that from 3rd year onwards students must have shown a competence equivalent to Level 2 for Teachers of Childhood and Primary Education (more information about these levels http://www.uab.cat/web/els-estudis/-competencia-linguistica-1345698914384.html ).
Information rigor and conceptual correctness, clarity and consistency of presentation (oral and written) and linguistic adequacy and correctness will be taken into account. Likewise, the participation, involvement and attitude of the students during the development of the activities and classroom sessions will be considered. The teaching staff may suspend or lower the mark of the activity that they consider does not meet the academic minimums in the aforementioned aspects.
All evaluable activities will be subject to formal criteria, including spelling, wording and presentation. Before delivering evidence of learning, it must be checked that the sources, notes, textual citations and bibliographical references have been correctly written following the APA 7thEd. regulations and according to the documentation summarized in UAB sources:
https://ddd.uab.cat/pub/recdoc/2016/145881/citrefapa_a2016.pdf http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_03.htm
Copying and plagiarism are intellectual theft and therefore constitute a crime that will be punished with a zero in the entire block where the work is located. In the case of copying between two students, if it cannot be known who has copied from whom, the sanction will be applied to both students.
An assignment, activity or test will be considered "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of the work of one or more of the other partners.
An assignment or activity will be considered "plagiarized" when it presents as its own a part of an author's text without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are in paper or digital format (more information on plagiarism can be found at
http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html).
Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVID-19.
