Methodology
Teaching will be offered on campus or in an on-campus and remote hybrid format depending on the number of students per group and the size of the rooms at 50% capacity.
Lecturers will put into practice the educational activities they deem appropriate in order to facilitate the study and learning of the student.
The development of the teaching of the subject and of the learning of the student is based on the following formative activities:
1. Guided activities: activities where the teacher develops the active part of the class. It includes master classes where the student reaches the conceptual bases of the subject and its legal and regulatory framework and jurisprudential.
Also, the practical classes, where students, individually or in small groups, analyze and solve along with the professor practical cases. Supervised activities: activities that students will develop individually or in small groups, with the support of the lecturer, in order to prepare the evaluable practices, such as discussion and resolution of cases, comments, debates, simulations of judgments, others.
2. Autonomous activities: activities that students will develop autonomously. It includes among others the search and reading of bibliography, norms and jurisprudence, study, preparation of practical cases.
The proposed teaching methodology may undergo some modifications according to the restrictions imposed by the health authorities on on-campus courses.
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 virtual platform used for communication with students will be the Virtual Campus of the Moodle classroom.
For each group, the specific date or the week of carrying out the evaluable activities will be published before the beginning of the teaching, notwithstanding
the fact that, exceptionally and due to force majeure, these may, with advance warning and anticipation enough, be modified.
The mark of the assignments and the participation in class will be made public before the final exam.
To pass the subject, the student must have obtained a minimum mark of 3.5 in the final exam and participated in the other two evaluation activities.
Students who have not pass the subject, have right to retake the final exam if they have obtained at least 3 in each of the three evaluation activities (final exam, assignments and participation in class).
These three evaluation activities will be taken into account to determine the final grade resulting from the evaluation as well as the reevaluation. Students who retake exam may obtain a maximum grade of 7.
There is no differentiated treatment in the evaluation of repeating students.
A student was considered non-evaluable (NA) if he had not participated in any of the assessment activities. Therefore, it is considered that a student who performs an evaluation exercise can no longer opt for a NA.
Honors: Granting or not qualifying for honors (MH) is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. In any case, the UAB regulations limit MH to students who have obtained a final mark equal to or greater than 9.00 and can award up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
In accordance with the current regulations, "in case the student makes any irregularities that may lead to asignificant variation of the qualification of an evaluation act,
this evaluation act will be described as zero (0), Irrespective of the disciplinary process that can be instructed.
Incase there are several irregularities in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade of the subject will be 0 "(article 116.10 academic regulations UAB).
