Prerequisites
This subject goes into the knowledge of the development of the person in three major stages of the life cycle that go from adolescence to old age, therefore, I think it would be desirable that the student had previously studied the subject Evolutionary Psychology, which deals with development in the first stage of life, childhood.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The subject starts from the conception that the person develops throughout his life, therefore, is immersed in a process of continuous change, changes that affect different areas of the person, physical, cognitive, emotional and psychosocial
Therefore, the subject follows an approach of the person's development throughout his life cycle.
Training objectives of the subject:
- Deepening in human development from adolescence to old age.
- To promote the knowledge of the changes and continuities that take place in the physical field from adolescence to aging.
- To foster awareness of the changes and continuities that occur in the cognitive sphere from adolescence to the end of the life process.
- To foster awareness of the changes and continuities that occur in the emotional and psychosocial field from adolescence to old age.
- To promote in the students the rational knowledge and the critical sense towards the present reality, so that it can understand the society and know transmit it in a way comprehensible to the others.
- Be able to analyze material related to the subject.
Competences
- Act with ethical responsibility and respect for fundamental rights and duties, diversity and democratic values.
- Adapt one's communication to various audiences in accordance with age, pathology, etc.
- Evaluate the scientific production that supports speech therapists' professional development.
- Integrate the foundations of biology (anatomy and physiology), psychology (evolutionary processes and development), language and teaching as these relate to speech-therapy intervention in communication, language, speech, hearing, voice and non-verbal oral functions.
- Students can apply the knowledge to their own work or vocation in a professional manner and have the powers generally demonstrated by preparing and defending arguments and solving problems within their area of study.

Assessment
The evaluation is continuous, there will be activities of analysis, synthesis, preparation of written reports and exams. There are individual and other group activities.
Evidence of learning will be of two types:
1.Works: these may be prepared individually or in small groups, some in oral format and others in written format and not all will have the same weight in the final grade. Face-to-face and campus delivery.
2. Exams: There will be two written exams, one that corresponds to the introductory elements of the subject and to the didactic module I, and the other exam that corresponds to the didactic modules II and III. Individual and face-to-face.
Consequently, the final grade of the course will be formed as follows: EV1 30%, EV2 30% and EV3 40%.
It must be borne in mind that the single assessment does NOT imply that the student does not attend class or that they do not have to follow the schedule of the subject and will take EV1 and EV2 and hand in EV3 on the same day as the rest of their classmates take EV2.
The duration of the evaluation can be 3 hours.
Definition of passing the subject: The subject will always be approved when the weighted average grade is equal to or higher than 5 points and the grade for EV1; EV2 and EV3 is equal to or higher than 5. In the event that these requirements are not met, the maximum grade will be 4, 5.
Definition of Non-assessable in the subject: A student who has not submitted evidence of learning with a weight equal to or greater than 40% will be listed as "Non-assessable".
Right to reassessment: To be eligible for reassessment, the following two requirements must be met: a) Not passing the subject and b) Submitted learning evidence with a weight equal to or greater than 2/3 of the total grade. Reassessment grade to be stated in the academic record will be 5 (out of 10).
The same recovery process as that of the continuous evaluation will be applied to the students who take the single evaluation.
"Students with 2ª or later enrollment are not expected to be assessed by a single non-recoverable synthesis test." https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/avaluacions-1345722525858.html
The student can request that the exam be translated from Catalan to Spanish as long as it is formally addressed in writing to the coordination of the teaching team of the subject, no later than week 4 of the current semester.
