Assessment

This section of the Study Guide contains all information related to the process of evaluation of the module.

Assessment of the module:

In order to pass the module, the following aspects are taken into account:

  • Regular assistance and participation: First, to ensure that the expected learning results are obtained, we consider it fundamental that students assist the classes and participate actively in them. For this reason, students are required to assist at least 80% of each course ("block"). Furthermore, the extent to which they participate in presentations, discussions, training sessions is evaluated. This participation is considered in the final note for each course.
  • Continued assessment of the blocks: Second, each course or block proposes one or multiple activities that allow a continued assessment of the learning process. The activities can vary from a written test to a presentation in class, a review of a few articles or chapters, or a short essay, among others. Jointly, the evaluations for the different courses that make up the module (30%) and the participation in these courses (20%) constitute 50% of the final grade of the module. The deadlines for these activities are indicated by the lecturers.
    • Lifecycle and cultural practices: people, groups, stages: Elaboration of a case-study comment from one topic of the 1000-word block (30%); a short analysis of the speakers linked with the key concepts of the block -1000 words- (30%); and an individual text of 2500 words maximum on 2 compulsory readings and 1 to choose (40%).
    • Chidren, youth, migration and globalization: Critical comment about some of the required readings
    • Space: Review of some of the texts proposed in the bibliography
    • Environment: Commentary (poster format) on a case of socio-environmentalintervention
    • Female genital mutilation (FGM): Review of someof the texts proposed in the literature
    • Health: Review of some of the texts proposed in class.
    • Anthropology of patrimonial intervention: Critical comment about one of the suggested readings.
  • Evaluation of the final paper for the module: Last, the grade obtained on a final paper constitutes the remaining 50% of the grade. In the case of the modules that make up the specializations (in particular, E1.1, E1.2, E2.1, E2.2 and E3.1), each student selects the course that is of major interest for his or her master thesis, from the set of courses that make up the module. The evaluation will be based on this course. The evaluation can consist of a larger essay of approximately 3,000 / 4,000 words, possibly in the format of an article, a review of a state of the art of a specific theme, or a paper that addresses a specific issue in the discipline on the basis of readings recommended by the lecturer of the course that the student has chosen for evaluation. The deadline for the submission of the final paper is the 10th of February. 
    • Lifecycle and cultural practices: people, groups, stages: 4,000 words- paper as a maximum based on the compulsory readings, recommended ones and suggestions made to the students according to their specific subject of research.
    • Children, youth, migration and globalization: Essay based on the compulsory and recommended readings that relate to some aspect of the ongoing research project.
    • Space: Two options to choose one  (1) Analytical development of a specific architectural-spatial environment (2) Theoretical development of a spatial concept, author or approach of interes to the student
    • Environment: Elaboration of plans or programs of environmental intervention 
    • Female genital mutilation (FGM): Essay on the treatment of FGM in the media.
    • Health: Elaboration of a health intervention based on the cases discussed during the class.
    • Anthropology of patrimonial intervention: Analysis of a case of intervention.

It is essential to respect the deadlines.

Each lecturer determines the way in which papers are to be submitted (through the Campus Virtual, by e-mail or in printed form, in the mailbox of the lecturer). The lecturers communicate the results of the evaluation through the established ways and establish a period of consultation before they communicate the grades to the coordinator of the module. The student can request a tutorial with their lecturers throughout the course if they wish to clarify some point of the contents of the course.

In general, not submitting the documents that are to be evaluated results in the qualification "Not assessable". In exceptional, well justified cases, the Committee of the Master Program may propose an alternative procedure for the evaluation.

General norms

Assessment is understood as a continued process throughout the term.

The qualifications are made on a scale from 0-10 with one decimal. To pass the subject, a minimum final grade of 5.0 is needed, as a result of the assessment procedure explained above. Once the subject is passed, it cannot be subjected to a new evaluation.

On carrying out each evaluationactivity, lecturers willinform students of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a
review will take place.

The programming of assessmentactivities cannot be modified unless an exceptionaland well justified reason exists for this, in which case a new program is proposed during the term.

When a student performs an irregularity that can lead to a significant variation of the qualification of an assessable activity, the activity will be qualified with a 0, independently of the disciplinary process that might follow.In the case that various irregularities in the assessable activities are performed within the same module, the qualification of the module will be 0.

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.The qualification "not assessable" in the final records of evaluation implies the exhaustion of rights inherent in the enrolment to the module, although the "not assessable" module will not figure in the academic transcript.

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this
activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as
the final grade for this subject. "Copying" a paper refers to a student reproducing the whole or part of a paper of another student. Plagiarism is presenting the whole or a part of the text of another author as if it were the student´s own, without citing the references, on paper or digitally. Please see the documentation of the UAB about plagiarism on: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html.

This subject/module does not incorporate single assessment.
