Assessment
The evaluation of the course “Research Trends and Focus in the Planning and Management of Educational Institutions” encompasses the achievement of the competences identified as fundamental for the course and therefore the evaluation includes continuous assessment of set activities along with consideration of students' participation, critical thinking and attitude throughout the course.The assessment carried out on this subject is continuous and final.
The continuous assessment will take into account the different content sections and their general orientation:
- Report / Individual work of the module (70%). The evaluation will also include the work carried out and the process that has been carried out to do so.
- Presentation of the results of the analysis and discussion of articles and resolution of cases (30%).
The evaluation will consider not online the work done, but also the process has been carried out to develop it. The delivery date of the works will be indicated opportunely by the faculty.
In case it is necessary, all the final evaluation tests will have a second chance for recovering.
In order to pass the course, the average grade must be of at least 5 and all evaluative activities must also be graded with a 5 or plus. Students who do not deliver more than 50% of the evaluation activities will be considered NOT EVALUABLE (NE).
Class attendance is mandatory, otherwise students will be considered absent (justifications only explain the absence, inno case they are an exemption of the presence).
Students that during the course have had an adequate tracking of the subject and still have not achieved one of the aspects will be given the opportunity to pass the course doing additional work or redoing some of the activities. Each case will be studied individually, according to thespecific situation of each student.
The results obtained in each of the assessment activities will be published in the classroomor the moodle. Given the qualifications, students can revise the marks during office hours.
The qualifications of each of the assessment activities will be published in the 20 days following the delivery. Students wishing to review the results must do so within 15 days after their publication.
To pass this course, it is necessary that the student show a good general communication skill, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or vehicular languages considered in the teaching guide. Linguistic correctness, drafting and filing the formal aspects of both group and individual activities will be taken into account. Students must be able to express fluently and accurately and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts.
Copy or plagiarism, in the case of works as in the case of the exams, constitute a crime that can represent to suspend the subject:
- Any document, activity or test is considered to be "copied" when it reproduces all or part of the work of one or another partner.
- Any document or activity is "plagiarized" when a part of an author's text is presented as his own without citing sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format. (More information about plagio at http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_0 1.html).
It is recommended to follow the APA regulations (2019, 7th version): In the following link you will find a proposal of regulations: https://bit.ly/3dNEd8E
