It allows the implementation of different types of activities such as debates, research analysis, exhibitions, expert visits, case studies, etc.

Each of the sessions allows combining different types of activities to ensure a competency and global approach to the teaching and learning process.

The attendance of all the students in the group, involvement, good attitude and participation are elements that ensure a good methodological development.

The methodology and the evaluation can undergo adaptations depending on the presence restrictions indicated by the health authorities.

Teachers will allocate approximately 15 minutes of some session to allow the students to respond to the evaluation surveys of the teaching performance and evaluation of the subject.

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

The evaluation of the module must allow the verification of the achievement of the identified competencies. It must also bear in mind the overall design of the subject and its methodological guidelines. The assessment carried out in this subject is continuous.

The date of delivery of the works will be indicated opportunely by the profesorado and, in case it is necessary, all the proofs of final evaluation will have of an opportunity of recovery. As a guide, the activities "Presentation of the results of the analysis and discussion of articles (individual and group)" and "Report on a Thesis (individual)" will be delivered at the end of the module. The "Classroom activities (individual and group)" will be worked on and delivered weekly.

In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to have an average equal to or higher than 5. In order to be able to do the average with the activities, it is necessary to get at least a 5 in each of the evidences that make up the evaluation system. Students who do not submit any of the evidence will be assessed with a non-submitted one.

Attendance is mandatory (receipts only serve to explain the absence, in no case are they exempt from attendance).

The grades obtained in each of the assessment activities will be given to the student by posting the results in moodle or in the classroom. Once the grades have been handed in, the student will be able to review the grade in the hours that the teacher has for tutoring.

The grades of each of the assessment evidence will be made public on the virtual campus within 20 days of submission. The student who wants to revise the note will have to do it in the 15 days subsequent to his publication in the schedule of tutorials that the profesorado has established for this asignatura and that consign in the program.

In order to pass this subject, in all the activities (individual and in group) the linguistic correction, the writing and the formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of comprehension of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.

Copying or plagiarism, both in the case of assignments and in the case of exams, constitute a crime that may involve suspending the subject:

    A work, activity or exam is considered to be “copied” when it reproduces all or part of the work of another classmate.
    A work or activity is considered "plagiarized" when a part of a text by an author is presented to oneself without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are in paper or digital format. (more information on plagiarism at http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_0 1.html).

It is recommended to follow the APA regulations (2019, 7ª version): At the following link you will find a proposed regulation: https://bit.ly/3dNEd8E

UNIQUE ASSESSMENT

This module offers the option of taking the single assessment. This evaluation contemplates the delivery of the following evidence during the last session of the module and following the instructions that can be offered by the responsible teaching staff:

(1) Literature review article on innovation and management of educational organizations. 25%

(2) Analysis and discussion of a research article on innovation and management of educational organizations. 25%

(3) Report on a thesis. 50%

The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous assessment. The review of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.
