Methodology

Activities

 

The work of the students during this course is divided into different types of activities, each of them with a specific amount of working hours. This diversity of formats is reflected in the use of different working methodologies during the course. The course has 6 ECTS credits, therefore it is expected that the students devote 150 working hours for this course.

 - Guided activities are activities done in the classroom with the presence of the teacher, and  will include: lectures (with ICT support and the possibility of forming discussion groups for specific topics); seminars in smaller groups for discussing the required readings, for focusing on practical issues and for analysing specific cases, problems and examples related to the course’ syllabus. For these activities there will be specific readings, which will be announced well in advance. These activities represent one third of the total working hours required for the course (55 hours).

 - Supervised activities are the ones carried out by the students outside the classroom, according to a work plan designed, supervised and evaluated by the lecturer. Also, during the course students will read short articles or documents, write short essays to analyze these materials, and will discuss them in class. Supervised activities also include individual tutorials and similar activities to asses each student’s progress. These activities represent approximately 10% of the required working hours (15 hours).

 - Autonomous activities are all the activities that the students do on their own, and in accordance with the requirements of the course. These activities may include supplementary research and reading, study their class notes, and all the activities that supplement their work during the course. These activities account for half of the student’ working time (75hours).

 

The teaching methodology has been adequately prepared for the contents and activities of this course.

 

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

 The evaluation of this course consists of two parts:

 

1. Continuous Evaluation during the semester (50% of the final grade) divided among the following activities:

1.1.  An individual short essay about a topic from the program proposed by the professor. It represents 20% of the final grade.

1.2.  Group assignment related to the contemporary international relations of the European Union, which consists in a group-written paper and its oral presentation (30% of the final grade). Submission of the paper and the oral presentation will take place at the end of the semester. The exact date and specific instructions will be announced during the first weeks of the course.

  

2. Two written exams on topics 1 to 13 (the midterm exam will include topics 1 to 7 of the programme, and the final exam will include topics 8 to 13). The exact date of each exam will be announced with enough time (each exam represents 25% of the final grade).

   

SUMMARY OF THE GRADING:

One individual short essay: 20%

Group assignment : 30%

Mid-term exam (topics 1-7): 25%

Final exam (topics 8-13): 25%

 

  

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

 

To pass this course you will need to pass both written exams with a minimum grade of 5/10 in each exam.

 

The students that do not pass one or both written examination(s) will have the opportunity to retake them at the end of the semester, on the date established by the Academic Office of the Faculty. If the exam(s) are not passed in the second sitting, the final grade of the course will be FAILED (NO APROVAT). There will only be two opportunities to pass each exam. Clarification: once the student retakes the midterm or the final exam (or both), the grade that will count for the course final grade is the one obtained in the second exam.

 

Once both written exams have been passed,the average grade of all the activities of the semester (short essay, group assignment and exams) must reach, at least, a  5/10 grade to pass the course.

 

All the assignments will have to be submitted on the dates established by the professor. If this is not the case the professor will specify the penalty for these late submissions. IMPORTANT: neither the individual essay nor the group assignment will be retaken.

 

The cases of plagiarism or other irregular acts (copying in an exam or submitting to equal individual essays from two different students) will be graded with a zero (0) in the related activity. To avoid plagiarism students must (it's mandatory) include in-text citations (you can check the Faculty guide about plagiarism through the following link) as well as include a correctly referenced bibliography. IMPORTANT: any assignment that does not include a bibliography will automatically fail.

 

If a student submits the exercises representing 50% or more of the final grade, she/he will not have the right to have a final grade of NO SHOW (NO PRESENTAT).

 

VERY IMPORTANT. Exchange students will have to follow the same norms and rules that the students from the Degree (Grau).

 

VERY IMPORTANT: those students enrolled in the English group of the course will have to do all the assignments (exams, individual essay and group assignment) in English. That's mandatory

 

In accordance with article 117.2 of the UAB Academic Regulations, the evaluation of those students who have been enrolled before may consist of a single synthesis examination. This synthesis examination will include the contents and competences that belong to the three evaluation activitites that regular students will have to do during the course. The students who wish to be evaluated this way should contact the professor at the beginning ofthe semester.
