Methodology

in order to achieve the learning objectives described in this Guide we will develop a methodology that combines the individual study from the Manual, and the readings that will be presented in each topic, as well as some documentaries and classes throught Webex where the teacher outlines the main points of each topic, with the aim of generating debates about them.

 

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

Evaluation:
Throughout the semester, students will carry out written tests of a theoretical nature that will have a weight of 50% of the final grade as well as of a practical nature that will have the value of the remaining 50%. In order to be able to add the mark of the practical part to the theoretical part, it will be necessary for the student to obtain a 3.5 out of 10 in the entire theoretical part.

REVALUATION
 

In case of not passing the subject according to the aforementioned criteria (continuous evaluation), a recovery test may be done on the date scheduled in the schedule, and it will cover the entire contents of the program.

To participate in the recovery the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which equals a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. However, the qualification that will consist of the student's file is a maximum of 5-Approved.

Students who need to change an evaluation date must present the justified request by filling in the document that you will find in the moodle space of Tutorial EPSI.
 
Plagiarism
 
Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the qualification will be classified by zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying, ..., an evaluation activity, will imply suspending this evaluation activity with zero (0). Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable.
