The contents worked on the theoretical sessions will be evaluated by means of evaluated written tests.
The contents worked on in the practical sessions will also be evaluated by delivering the work done (in the classroom or via Moodle according to the case). The practical classes in the classroom will consist of the development of individual and group exercises and works, applying in practice some of the concepts dealt with in the theoretical classes. These tasks can be individual reflections, group exercises, case presentations, etc.

Assessment
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
There will be 5 individual PECs corresponding to the topics studied in the course. Each PEC has a weight of 50% of the final grade of the course. The remaining 10% corresponds to the theoretical exam.
The exam averages with the continuous evaluation regardless of the grade obtained.
The total weighted average must be 5 points or higher in order to pass.
SINGLE EVALUATION
Students who opt for the single evaluation will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the course (50%) and will hand in a document containing the solutions to the 5 PECs of the course (10% each).
The date for this test and the delivery of the work of the subject will be the same scheduled in the timetable for the last continuous evaluation exam.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
EVALUATION OF THE STUDENTS IN SECOND OR MORE SUMMONS
Students who repeat the course will have to take the scheduled tests and exams and hand in the course work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.

If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been done with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may supplement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the course, the teacher may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the course.
If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been carried out with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
