Methodology
"Methodology for writing projects (II)" has a theoretical aspect and a practical aspect. The theoretical aspect is learned through the study of materials. The practical aspect of the subject is developed through exercises that will be done individually but where a Forum of doubts and debates will be created.
The course has a MOODLE page open in the Virtual Campus where you will find the subject materials, news and instructions for the subject and the system to do the delivery of work, among other applications.
To access, you must enter the UAB Virtual Campus, whose address is: https://cv.uab.cat/. You have to enter with the University Identification Number (NIU) and password (password) that is provided in the registration process.
The Virtual Campus is also the main communication tool of the students with the teacher, both at the level of doubts, and communication of possible problems in the development of the subject. When a student wants to get in touch with a teacher, they will use the Moodle classroom messaging in preference to the use of email.
For each of the PECs a forum will be opened for questions and debates where participation is key to answering questions or expanding knowledge and sharing them.

Assessment
The continuous evaluation supposes the accomplishment of different exercises, works and tests that allow to obtain up to 10 points. The continuous evaluation is designed to enhance the student's work methodology and the achievement of the knowledge and competences of the subject. The monitoring of the continuous assessment can not only be translated into an important component of the evaluation of academic performance, but it is a fundamental tool that is available to the student to facilitate a rhythm of work and rigorous and organized study of their learning process.
The 10 points are obtained from the following items:
PEC1 1 point
PEC2 1 point
PEC3 1 point
PEC4 2 point
PEC5 3 points
Face-to-face test 2 points
The student will have to deliver the PECs through the Moodle Classroom of the Virtual Campus. The delivery of works by email is not supported. To be able to pass the subject through continuous evaluation is necessary to approve the five PECs with an equivalent to 5 out of 10. However, it is possible to have a single PEC with a grade equivalent to 4 out of 10 if such note is compensated with the rest notes of PECs. If the five PECs are not carried out, it will be necessary to follow the non-continuous evaluation.
The face-to-face test can only be carried out by the students who have submitted the five PECs and have approved them with the conditions set out above. The face-to-face test will confirm that the training process has been adequately followed and consolidate the knowledge of the subject. If the note of the face-to-face test is less than an equivalent of 4 out of 10, it will mean that the continuous assessment has not been passed and that it is necessary to take the final exam.
a) Non-continuous evaluation or final exam
Those students who have not followed the continuous assessment or have not passed, can pass the subject through the final evaluation, which consists of a final physical examination based on the whole subject (with a value of 5 points) and the delivery of the PECs 4 (2 points) and 5 (3 points).
The delivery of the PECs must be done through the Moodle Classroom, in specific applications that will be open during the week of the online tests.
The final face-to-face examination will have a theoretical part with a value of 2.5 points, and a practical part of questions based on the Technical Building Code, where its application must be justified, with a value of 2.5 points.
The final exam can be done both orally and in writing at the teacher's discretion.
To be able to pass the subject through non-continuous evaluation, you must obtain the equivalent of 5 out of 10 in the PECs and 5 out of 10 in the practical part and the same in the theoretical part.
b) Reevaluation
If you do not pass the subject in accordance with the aforementioned criteria (continuous assessment), a recovery test may be carried out on the scheduled time, and will cover all the contents of the program.)
To participate in the recovery students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. However, the qualification that will appear on the student's file is of a maximum of 5-Approved.
Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the application by filling in the document that will be found in the EPSI Tutorials moodle.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, "in the event that the student conducts any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of the rating of an assessment act , this evaluation act will be evaluated with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed. In the event that there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final gradeof this subject will be 0 ".
Tests / exams may be written and / or oral at the discretion of the teaching staff.
