Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Both the knowledge acquired in relation to the objectives set in the subject and the degree to which the skills and competencies that were intended to be developed have been achieved will be taken into account.
a) Programmed evaluation process and activities
The subject consists of the following assessment activities:
- Activity A, Presentation of a practical case, is worth 25% of the final grade.
This activity will involve an oral presentation and the presentation of a report. You will have to make groups of between 3 and 6 people during the first week of the course. The limit of students per group will depend on the number of students enrolled. It is very important to form the groups during the first week. In the third week everyone will have to deliver the report and the presentations will begin. The details of the assigned topics will be given on the first day of class and on the Virtual Campus.
- Activity B, Tests on readings, is worth 25% of the final grade.
During week 8, 9, 10 or 11 if the calendar allows it we will do a test, on a reading of an article that talks about Ethics. The reading will be specified on the Virtual Campus.
- Activity C, Final synthesis test, is worth 50% of the final grade.
It is an exam that will cover the four topics of the course and the practices presented by the students.
- Activity D, Class participation, is worth 10% of the final grade.
Active participation in debates, attendance, etc. will be valued. If you get a 0 you can perfectly get a 10 in the subject, but it can help to pass the subject or get Honors.
In order to pass the subject, through continuous assessment, it will be necessary to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 50% in activities A and B. And a grade equal to or greater than 40% in activity C. The grade of the transcript will be the lowest of all.
Activities A and B are non-recoverable, so failing them with a grade of less than 50% means not passing the subject.
b) Programming of evaluation activities
The calendar of the evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the subject, whenever possible and will be made public through the Virtual Campus. The following calendar is planned:
- Activity A:
Week 1: Create groups.
week 2-3: Group work; Make a report.
Week 4 to 16: Presentations of each group (1 day) ; Go to classmates' presentations (every day)
- Activity B:
Week 8,9,10 or 11: Control.
- Activity C:
At the end of the course during the evaluation calendar.
At the end of the evaluations, during the retake calendar.
c) Recovery process
The student has the right to a retake of the final exam, if he/she has not passed the subject in the continuous assessment. Only activity C, the Final Synthesis Test, will be recovered. Everything is assessed with the same percentages as continuous assessment and the same criteria are required to pass the subject.
d) Procedure for reviewing grades
For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated in which students will be able to review the activity with the teaching staff. In this context, complaints may be made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject. If the student does not attend this review, this activity will not be reviewed later
e) Grades
- Honors. As for the honors, the UAB regulations will be followed. Specifically:
"6. The mention of honors may be awarded to the student who has a grade equal to or greater than 9.0. The number of honours awarded may not exceed 5% of people enrolled in a subject or module in the corresponding academic period, except if the total number of people enrolled is less than 20. In this case, only one honours may be awarded. An additional honours mark may be awarded by rounding up the fraction resulting from the application of 5% of students enrolled in the subject." Apart from the grade obtained, regular attendance at the sessions will beespecially valued, as well as the active and enriching participation carried out in the activities.
- A student will be considered not presented if he or she has not submitted either activity A, B or C.
f) Consequences of irregularities committed by students: copying, plagiarism, ...
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the regulations
current academic record, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation in the grade will be graded with a zero. For example, plagiarism, cheating, presenting a group assignment not entirely done by the members of the group (applied to all members, not just those who have not worked), unauthorized use of AI (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT or equivalent), copying or allowing an assessment activity to be copied, etc., will imply failing the subject with a zero. In this case, the subject will not be recoverable.
g) Evaluation of repeating students
Students with second enrolment will be assessed in the same way as students who enrol for the first time.
h) Examination-based assessment
This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.
