Assessment
Description of the evaluation system:
- 50% - Multiple choice theoretical exam. 40 questions. To pass the grade, it must be at least 5 out of 10. It will consist of an objective test with multiple choice items. Each question will have four or five answers, only one of which will be correct. Each successful answer is worth 1 point and each wrong answer subtracts 0.25 points. The student who fails the exam will have the option to recover it.
- 30% - Carrying out a final project that consists of planning a psychomotor session for children with atypical psychomotor development. It will be presented orally from PowerPoint format. We open the possibility of doing it individually or as a couple.
- 20% - Attendance at practical seminars and tasks derived from them. On the first day of class we will inform you of the exact dates to facilitate the organization by the students. Participation, critical value, proposals, resolution of possible proposed situations and tasks raised in the seminars will be valued.
To pass the subject, all parts must be passed.
When it is considered that the student has not passed the exam or has not taken the exam on the established date, or delivered the final project, or has not attended the practical seminars, this subject will be recorded as "not evaluable".
The evaluation of exchange students will be the same as for the rest of the UAB's own students.
The subject contemplates a recovery system for students who have not passed the contents of this, with a format to be determined.

Software
Class and exam dates will be published and will be final. Classes will be in the afternoon with a schedule starting at 5:00 p.m. The duration of the classes will be from 2 to 3 hours depending on the day. On the first day of class we will confirm dates and make sure that everyone is aware, especially of the (mandatory) practical classes, to better plan the semester.
Only in exceptional cases, for greater reasons, will there be a modification of this initial planning.
We recommend that the student attend as many sessions as possible to facilitate learning and the acquisition of the objectives set out in the subject, as well as to facilitate the evaluation process carried out during the course of the subject.
