Assessment

Continuous evaluation. To pass the subject, the minimum final grade of each block will be no less than 5. The average will be calculated from a minimum score of 5 in each evaluation activity of each block. The final grade will be the calculation of the weighted mean of each block (block A and block B).

• Regarding the block A, the minimum grade must be a 5. The minimum grade of every assignment to form an average is 5.
• Regarding the block B, the minimum grade must be a 5. The minimum grade of every assignment to form an average is 5.
• Regarding the final work, given the continuous monitoring that will be made of it (through seminars or individualized tutorials), the grade must be 5 and it is not re-assessable.

At the end of each block, there will be an evaluation test, except for block B for the quantitative part, where there will be 2 tests.

It is needed to submit every activity proposed by the professor, it is a mandatory requirement to be assessed. The students who along the subject have been doing a continuous work, and even though, still have an under 5 graded block, will have the chance to be re-assessed within the course period. The date of revaluation of the failed activities will be agreed according to the calendar provided by the Faculty.

At the end of the course, those students who have not passed any of the tests will be able to demand to be re-examined. Those tests will be graded 6 as a maximum qualification. The requirement to do so is that the student must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject or module. Similarly, the teacher may require a minimum grade of 3.5.

The final presentation of research project will happen after the completion of the course, although there will be partial presentations at the end of each block. The final presentation of the research project cannot be recovered. Professors  will establish the dynamization, follow-up and evaluation of the group work appropriate for each moment.

The rest of activities, practices and study cases will be distributed along the subject. Each will be temporized with a submitting deadline that will be accurately informed at the beginning of the course. In case any student is willing to review the grade, would have to do so within the following 15 days after the feedback, in tutoring time. These dates will be specified in the course program that will be accessible on the first day of class.

The attendance to the classes is necessary and professors will follow-up.

Students who repeat the subject can choose to take a synthesis evaluation.

Unique evaluation. Students undergoing a unique evaluation must submit a single written piece of evidence (40%) at the end of the teaching period. It will incorporate the content from both blocks of the subject, Block A and Block B (qualitative and quantitative), through the resolution of cases and practical assumptions related to the software. It will use Nvivo for the qualitative block and Jamovi for the quantitative block. This written evidence will also be evaluated orally (60%) and in person and will be recorded in the presence of the teaching team members according to the scheduled date. Students who have opted for a unique evaluation have the right to resit according to the schedule established in the subject, and the same type of test will be applied (submission of written evidence + oral defence). The final grade review follows the same procedure as for continuous evaluation. Students who choose the unique evaluation will not submit or receive any evaluative or grading feedback for the continuous evaluation activities carried out during the course of the subject.

The return and follow-up of the activities that contribute to the final grade will take place within 15 to 20 working days. Students who wish to request a review of theirgrade must do so within 15 days of its publication in the tutoring schedule established by the teaching staff for this subject, which is part of the subject's program.

Total or partial plagiarism of any exercise, project, practice, or test will imply the failure of the subject. Any activity will be considered “plagiarized” when a part of an author's text is presented as one's own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format. An activity or exam will be considered as "copied" when it reproduces all or part of the work of another colleague.

It is needed to have a teaching-like attitude to pass the subject. Some of the competences are: active listening, respect, cooperation, empathy, punctuality, non-judging attitude, argumentation, appropriate use of the cell phone, etc. 

It is also necessary for the student to show a good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the vehicular language or languages that appear in the teaching guide. Therefore, in all activities (individual or in group), linguistic correction, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or failed if the teaching staff considers that it does not meet these requirements. In addition, before submitting any activity or exam, the student must verify that he or she has correctly written the sources, notes, citations and bibliographic references following the APA regulations.
