The continuous evaluation of the subject will be carried out in four modules:  

Module 1: Detection of biased, false or distorted ethnographic information. (Individual work). [10%]

Module 2: Working with academic ethnographic sources to correct the detected errors. (Group work).  [25%]

Module 3: Correction of biases, errors or distortions in the selected information (individual work).   [25%]

Module 4.  Written exam (individual).  [40%]

Procedure for reviewing grades awarded

 On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded and the date on which such a review will take place.

Consideration of "Not assessed/Not submitted"

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they complete, at least, modules 1 and 4 within the submission deadlines.

Conditions for Reassessment

• The student must only reassess failed modules if the final weighted grade of the subject is lower than 5.
• A minimum grade of 3.5 is required for each module. Any lower grade will result in the module reassessment.

The maximum grade obtainable after reassessment is 5 (pass).

Other general evaluation considerations

Evaluation evidencesdelivered after submission deadlines or not conforming to the format standards available at the course Moodle will not be accepted.

Considerations on plagiarism/irregularities (copying, unauthorized use of AI, etc.)

• Each exercise must result from the student's or group's work. It cannot be copied from other sources (academic works, publications, web pages...) without correctly citing its authorship.
• To get more information about what constitutes plagiarism, please check the guide "How to cite and how to avoid plagiarism" (Faculty of Political Science and Sociology of the UAB) for students (https://www.uab.cat/doc/GuiaCitesiPlagiEstudiants).

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

Single Assessment (SA):

Characteristics of the SA:

On a single evaluation date, students covered by the single evaluation must:

• To assess and justify the ethnographic reliability that the news can offer.
• To identify possible biases, errors or distortions in the selectedsource.
• To explain the assumptions (ideological, theoretical, etc.) on which the argument has been built in the selected source.
• To justify how this information can affect the social perception of the issue it raises.

• Locate reliable, conveniently cited academic sources of information.
• List the items of point 2 of the previous section that may be amended and justify the suitability of the academic sources that will provide the information to do so.
• Select relevant information about the contents worked that allows refuting, completing or correcting the assumptions on which the erroneous, biased or incomplete information would have been built.
• Explain how this information can contribute to modulating the social perception of the issue it raises.

 Length (SA):

 The student must expect that the test duration exceeds 4 hours, so it could be scheduled outside the usual subject schedule.

 On carrying out each evaluation activity, the lecturer will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

 Consideration of "Not assessed/Not submitted" (SA):

 Students who do not complete tests 1 and 2 on the day and time slot established as a single evaluation test will be NOT EVALUABLE.

 Reassessment (SA):

 The same method as continuous assessment will be used.

 Plagiarism/irregularities (SA):

 The same actions as continuous evaluation do apply.
