The reports of the activities delivered by the students, one per unit, consist of different activities defined by the teacher in charge of each unit. At the beginning of each unit, the student receives a rubric with the evaluation criteria and the percentage of its value in the total evaluation of the unit.

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

In the evaluation of the module, the following criteria will be taken into consideration: the quality of the activities carried out, participation in the forums, the learning achieved, the link between the responses and professional practice, and their relevance to the purposes and content of the master's degree.

The average of the final evaluation of the five modules (15% each module) will mean 75% of the final grade and the Master's Final Project the remaining 25%. In order to pass to the presentation and evaluation of the TFM, it is necessary to obtain an average of the modules greater than 5 and have passed more than 80% of the unit. The works must be delivered in the moodle classroom in the established time. The head of the unit must report the result of their correction within a period not exceeding fifteen days after the delivery of the work. At the end of the modules they will be given the opportunity to recover, if necessary, the failed modules.

Copying or plagiarism, in any type of evaluative test, constitutes a crime and will be penalized with a 0 as a grade for the course, losing the possibility of recovering it. A work or activity will be considered "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of the work of another partner. A work or activity will be considered "plagiarized" when a part of an author's text is presented as its own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format. http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html

To pass this course, the student must show good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or the vehicular languages that appear in the teaching guide. Linguistic correction, writing and formal presentation aspects will be taken into account in all activities. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show ahighdegree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.
