Assessment

SYSTEM OF EVALUATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF THE SKILLS AND SYSTEM OF RATINGS The evaluation is based on the follow-up of the student's work throughout the course. Each activity (in class or out of class) is evaluated and integrated into the final grade. Specifically, the different activities and works that make up the evaluation are the following:

Dossier on legal language: up to 1 point.
Exercise on methodology for the preparation of research papers and legal essays: up to 2 points.
Drafting exercise of a legal text (written argument): up to 1.5 point.
Text commentary and critical analysis of a legal text: up to 1.5 point.
Exercise on study techniques and organization of study time: up to 1 point.
Exercise on legal databases and on-line resources (investigation of legislation, jurisprudence and doctrine): up to 2 points.
Group work (legal debate / oral expression): up to 2 points

Exercises 1 and 6 are carried out outside the classroom and will be delivered electronically to the professor before the expiration of the terms established. The absolutely imperative nature of deadlines is an essential characteristic of this subject. In the legal world, deadlines and their fulfillment are of paramount importance; that is why in this subject is never allowed to deliver an exercise after the deadline without there being any reason to justify this late delivery. In the same way, if an exercise should be done in class on a specific day and, for whatever reason, that day the student can not be there is no way to recover that exercise. This inflexible character is part of the education of the future jurist, who from the beginning of his training, must be aware that deadlines are inexorable. This inexorable nature of the terms is compensated to some extent by the fact that the total points that can be obtained are eleven and not ten. In this way, the student has a margin in case thereis any circumstance that prevents the realization of any of the evaluable activities. On the other hand, during the course will be carried out in class some activities that will be evaluated and that will allow to upload the student's grade in those cases in which the grade obtained through the programmed exercises is very close to the superior (one or two tenths). In this way, for example, if a student in the final computation has a grade of 4.8, but has satisfactorily completed most of these evaluable activities enclase that are not part of the regular schedule, he could raise his grade to five. Similarly, in the case of students who have a grade of 6.8 or 6.9; or 8.8 or 8.9; the realization of these evaluable activities would allow to reach the notable or excellent respectively.

In the cases in which no work is delivered or any exercise is performed, or they are delivered and / or perform one or two works or exercises the qualification will be "not presented". If three works or more are delivered, the qualification may no longer be "not submitted".

The delivery of works, practices and other activities will be carried out within the maximum term established by the professor. None will be accepted after the deadline. To avoid possible problems of server saturation, etc. it is recommended to make the delivery with sufficient time and before it runs out.

Compulsory attendance. The absence in a practice or activity carried out in class can not be substituted by a work done at home, because they alter its pedagogical objectives. For the reasons stated above, in case of absence, no proof of any kind (illness, driving test, etc.) will be accepted.

Students who arrive late to perform a practice or activity can not do it.

Students who leave an activity, practice or masterclass before its completion are considered as "not presented". For these purposes, the professor has the right to carry out attendance controls at the end of the event.

The students are informed that the evaluation of Tools for the Study is totally continuous, therefore, there is no final exam or re-evaluation

Consequences of Fraud

A student who cheats or try to cheat an activity or practive will have a 0 as a mark. A Student who submits a paper o practical in which there is evidence of plagiarism will have a 0 as a mark and will receive a warning. In case of repetition, the students will fail the subject.
