Methodology

The methodology is student-centered in order to have a meaningful, functional and contextualized learning process. To do so, different methodological strategies are used, such as classroom practices, case studies, role-plays or debates among others. These strategies combine the theoretical foundation together with its practical implementation, and they are carried out by experts that combine their lecturing role at the university with career guidance practice in educational centers.

Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVID-19.

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 is carried out in a formative and summative way. Formative evaluation allows for the monitoring of the evolution in the teaching-learning process and, summative evaluation, allows for the verification of the learnings and skills developed through theoretical-practical evaluation activities with a transversal approach.

 

Each module will have two evaluation evidences:

- Classroom practices, with a value of 50% in the weight of the final module grade. It will include the participation / involvement of the student in the sessions, both individual and group.

- Module work, with a value of 50% in the weight of the final note of the module

 

The final grade of the course will consist of the sum of the classroom practices and the module work done in all the modules that make up the course. 

The module work will consist of a case analysis with a reflection / theoretical contribution related to the case. It will be individual and will have a maximum of 10 pages, including the bibliography. Deadlines for submission are: module 1 (14 January), 2 (25 March), 3 (4 March) and 4 (15 May)

As for the classroom practices, there will be individua or group practice.

In order to pass the module, the student must obtain a grade of 5 or more in each evaluation evidence.

To pass the module, it is necessary that the student obtains a grade equal to or higher than 5 in each module.

In case the student does not pass any of the evidences, he/she will have one week to recover this evidence once the grades have been published. In this case, the maximum grade that can be obtained will be a 6.

Individual situations that do not fit the described approach must be communicated in writing to the teachers involved who will assess whether it is possible to enable some adaptation, without losing sight of the philosophy of evaluation of the module.

The delivery of work will be carried out primarily via the virtual campus. Other delivery channels may be enabled, by prior agreement with the teaching staff, informed by the class and/or by the virtual campus. Papers delivered by means not agreed with the professor will not be accepted, nor will papers delivered with incorrect formats, which do not include the name of the authors or which are delivered after the deadline.

In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying of any work will be penalised with a 0 as a mark for this work, losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is an individual or group work (in this case, all group members will have a 0). If, while doing individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or discovers some type of document or device not authorized by the teacher, the work will be graded with a 0, with no option for recovery.

Class attendance is mandatory: the student must attend a minimum of 80% of classes, otherwise it will be considered "no assessment".
