Methodology

Teaching language: Spanish

 

The methodology of this allocation will be based on a dynamic and participatory model. Students will have to study the subjects by requiring reading of the materials to be offered, they will have to participate in written discussion forums and video classes.

Development, study, compulsory and recommended bibliographic reading, as well as out-of-table exercise resolution will also occupy a significant part of the learner's dedication time to the subject.

During the six months, a cross-cutting exercise will be carried out, which will be explained in detail during the first part-sessions of this subject.

It is important to mention that video-classes have as their main goal the question of the theme, so it is necessary to prepare the topics before each session

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.

The total weighted average must be 5 points or higher to be approved.

 

SINGLE EVALUATION

Students who opt for the single assessment will perform a final synthesis test of all subject content (50%) and submit a document containing the solutions to the 2 * subjects subjects (10% each) and a cross-cutting work (30%).

The date for this assessment and submission of the assignment's work will be the same as scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam.

The same recovery system will be applied as for continuous evaluation.

 

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS IN SECOND OR MORE CALLS

Students who repeat the subject must perform the scheduled tests and exams and submit the work of the subject at the dates indicated in the classroom *Moodle.

 

 

RECOVERY EXAM

A pupil who does not exceed the subject, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, in accordance with the criteria laid down in the two previous sections, may submit to a final examination provided that the student has been assessed in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. If it has not been assessed by these two third parties for not having submitted to the tests, it will obtain a qualification of Not Presented, without having the possibility to submit to the final recovery examination.

This examination will re-evaluate all the contents of the subject that have not been exceeded in the ongoing evaluation.

If the final exam ispassed, the subject will be approved by a maximum of 5 regardless of the mark obtained in the exam.

 

CHANGE THE DATE OF A TEST OR EXAM

Students who need to change an assessment date must submit the request by filling in the document in the *Tutorization Moodle *EPSI space.

Once the document has been completed, it must be sent to the assignee teacher and to the Grade Coordination.

 

REVISION

In the event of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final qualification of this subject shall be 0 ".

If you have indications during correction that an activity or work has been performed with artificial intelligence-assisted answers, the teacher can supplement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.

If circumstances occur that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teacher will be able to modify both the methodology and the assessment of the subject.
