Methodology


										
											
According to the New Approach, the course of Administrative Law II includes directed and autonomous activities.
										
											
										
											Directed activities consist of a weekly theoretical class and a weekly seminar or classroom activity. The theoretical class is recommended, but attendance is not compulsory; On the other hand, attendance at seminars or classroom activities is mandatory, except in cases of absence due to illness or force majeure duly accredited, and is taken into account in the evaluation.
										
											
										
											The seminars and classroom activities consist of normally oral presentations of readings, sentences, practical cases, etc., prior individual work (autonomous activity) and subsequent discussions developed in groups in the classroom (directed activity).
										
											
										
											The materials for the seminars and classroom activities will be accessible through the Virtual Campus. At the beginning of the course, a Schedule will be posted because the students can have the calendar of the theoretical classes and of the seminars and classroom activities.

 



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

 

Continuous assessment

 

The evaluation is based on three activities: a partial exam (midterm exam), with a value of 35%; the activities carried out in the seminars and classroom activities, with a value of 30%; and a final exam, with a value of 35%.

 

 In the midterm exam and in the final exam, the knowledge acquired both in the theoretical classes and in the seminars and classroom activities are controlled.

 

The score corresponding to the activities carried out in the seminars and classroom activities will take into account the knowledge and skills used (argumentation, oral presentation skills and teamwork, among others).

 

 At the beginning of the course, the teacher responsible for each group will inform the students of the type of the partial test and the final exam and the necessary requirements to be able to take the re-evaluation. The assessment of the revaluation will include the contents of both partial and final exams.

 

Any student who copies or attempts to copy in any exam or in the written exercises that take place at the seminars, will receive a final qualification of 0 points in Administrative Law II. In these cases, students will not have the possibility to take the re-evaluation exam. Likewise, students who copy or try to copy in the re-evaluation tests or exercises, will obtain a qualification of 0 points in Administrative Law II.

 

Any paper or practical exercise submitted by the students, in which any evidence of plagiarism can be detected, will receive a qualification of 0 points. Students who submit any paper that is deemed to be a case of plagiarism will receive a warning additionally. In the event of a repeat plagiarism misconduct, the student will fail the whole course of Administrative Law II.
