Methodology
The methodology of this subject will be based on a dynamic and participatory model.
During the theoretical sessions (Friday) the course syllabus will be explained. Case studies will be proposed to support the theoretical explanation.
During the practical sessions (Wednesday and Saturday) the 5 PEC will be presented that must be presented the same day in the classroom
Students must properly follow the teachers' explanations in the classroom, read or study the topics suggested by the teachers, as well as participate in the class.
Teaching language: Catalan
Note: 15 minutes of a class will be set aside, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to fill in the teacher performance and subject evaluation surveys /module.
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
1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
Evaluation of theoretical knowledge (50% of the final grade)
There will be a single final continuous assessment test with an exam of 60 test-type questions (4 options and only one of them is correct).
It is necessary to get at least a 3.5 out of 10 in this test. Otherwise, no final mark will be obtained for this part.
Attendance at the exam is mandatory. Otherwise, no final mark will be earned for this part.
The use of any kind of documentation for the resolution of this exam is not allowed.
Assessment of practical knowledge (50% of the final mark)
A total of 5 continuous assessment tests (PECs) will be carried out. These are practical cases of an operational nature in which a situation is presented as a case, on which certain searches for information and case resolution must be carried out. Each of the continuous assessment tests represents 10% of the final grade.
It is mandatory to hand in at least 3 of the 5 continuous assessment tests proposed. Otherwise, none of the practical knowledge assessments submitted will be graded and no final mark will be achieved for this part.
It is necessary to obtain at least a 3.5 out of 10 in each of the suggested continuous assessment tests. Otherwise, it will be considered ineligible, and will have the same effects as not having presented it.
If it is not delivered within the established period, it will be understood as not presented.
The evaluation test presented must follow the structure of the document proposed in the classroom.
Final grade of continuous assessment
The final grade of the continuous assessment will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each of the completed and valid exercises.
In order to consider it passed, a score of at least 5 out of 10 must be achieved.
2. UNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Students opting for the single assessment will take the same theory test exam as the continuous assessment (50%) and hand in a PAC summarizing all continuous assessment PACs (50%)
The date for this test and the delivery of the subject's work will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam.
Final grade of continuous assessment
The final grade of the continuous assessment will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each of the completed and valid exercises.
In order to consider it passed, a score of at least 5 out of 10 must be achieved.
3. RECOVERY EXAMINATION
Access to the exam
If you have not passed the continuous assessment or the single assessment, you can take the make-up exam as long as you have participated (presented), at least in two thirds of the assessment.
Goal
This exercise aims to evaluate all the contents of the subject, so it must be carried out in its entirety, without retaining part of the continuous assessment exercises.
Composition
The exercise will consist of a questionnaire of 30 multiple-choice theoretical questions.
qualification
A score of 5 out of 10 must be achieved to pass the recovery test.
In the event of passing the make-up exam, the grade obtained will be a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exercise.
4. STUDENT EVALUATION IN THE SECOND CALL OR MORE
Students who repeat the subject must take the scheduled tests and exams and hand in the subject's work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.
5. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Multiple choice questionnaire
Characteristics of all exercises in the format of a multiple-choice questionnaire, both in the continuous assessment and in other tests, for each question four answers will be proposed, of which there is always one correct answer and only one. Wrong answers will be discounted by 33%.
Oral resolution
If it is considered appropriate, some of the tests may be done orally.
Irregularities
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are considered appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that any irregularity is detected that could lead to a significant variation in the rating of an evaluation act, it will be rated with a 0 (zero) this assessment act, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final qualification of this subject will be 0 (zero )".
If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the assessment of the subject.
Date change
The person who needs to change an assessment date must submit the request by completing the document found in the EPSI tutoring Moodle space.
At the time of carrying out each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of review of the qualifications.
Artificial Intelligence
If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been done with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher can complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
