Assessment

SYSTEM OF EVALUATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF THE SKILLS AND SYSTEM OF RATINGS

The evaluation is based on the follow-up of the student's work throughout the course. Each activity (in or out of lessons) is evaluated and integrated into the final grade. Specifically, the different activities and works that make up the evaluation are the following:

Dossier on legal language: up to 1 point.
Exercise on methodology for the preparation of research papers and legal essays: up to 2 points.
Drafting practice of a legal text (written argument): up to 1.5 points.
Text commentary and critical analysis of a legal text: up to 1.5 points.
Exercise on study techniques and organization of study time: up to 1 point.
Training on legal databases and online resources (investigation of legislation, jurisprudence, and doctrine): up to 2 points.
Group work (legal debate / oral expression): up to 2 points

Exercises 1 and 6 are carried out outside the classroom and will be delivered electronically to the professor before the expiration of the terms established. The binding nature of deadlines is an essential characteristic of this subject. In the legal world, deadlines and their fulfillment are paramount; that is why in this course are only allowed to deliver an exercise after the deadline with a reason to justify this late delivery. In the same way, if a class work should be done on a specific day and, for whatever reason, that day the student can not, there is no way to recover from that exercise. This inflexible character is part of the education of the future jurist, who, from the beginning of his training, must be aware that deadlines are relentless. This inflexible nature of the terms is compensated to some extent by the fact that the total points that can be obtained are eleven and not ten. In this way, the student has a margin in case any circumstance prevents the realization of any of the evaluable activities.
On the other hand, during the course willbe carried out in class some activities that will be evaluated, and that will allow uploading of the student's grade in those cases in which the grade obtained through the programmed exercises is very close to the superior (one or two tenths). For example, if a student in the final computation has a grade of 4.8 but has satisfactorily completed most of these evaluable activities enclosed that are not part of the regular schedule, he could raise his grade to 5. Similarly, in the case of students who have a grade of 6.8 or 6.9, 8.8 or 8.9, the realization of these evaluable activities would allow them to reach the notable or excellent, respectively.
In cases where no work is delivered, or any exercise is performed, or they are given and/or perform one or two works or activities, the qualification will be "not presented." If three works or more are delivered, the qualification may no longer be "not submitted."
Works, practices, and other activities will be delivered within the maximum term established by the professor. None will be accepted after the deadline. To avoid server saturation problems, etc., having sufficient time before it runs out is recommended.
Compulsory attendance. The absence of a practice or activity in class can not be substituted by work at home because it alters its pedagogical objectives. For the reasons stated above, no proof of any kind (illness, driving test, etc.) will be accepted in case of absence.
Students who arrive late to perform a practice or activity can not do it.
Students who leave an activity, practice, or masterclass before completion are considered "not presented." For these purposes, the professor has the right to carry out attendance controls at the end of the event.

The students are informed that the evaluation of Tools for the Study is continuous. Therefore, there is no final exam or re-evaluation. This course does not foresee a single evaluation system.

Consequences of Fraud
A student who cheats or tries to cheat on an activity or practice will have a 0 as a mark. A Student who submits a paper o practical with evidence of plagiarism will have a 0 as a mark and will receive a warning. In case of repetition, the students will fail the subject.
