This subject applies continuous assessment and it is not possible to opt for single assessment.

Evidences for assessment:

- The assessment of the contents will be carried out through two mid-term exams. They will consist of 4-5 short questions, which will measure the ability to use the concepts and indicators in the appropriate context and to interpret them correctly from the point of view of demographic dynamics. The dates will be included in the course syllabus and will be communicated on the first day of class. These tests must be taken in person, on the day, at the time and in the classroom assigned.
- The practical assignment evaluation will be based on the individual report dossiers. Active attendance and participation in the discussion of results in each practical class will be an assessable element. The practical work reports handed in will be individual for each student, although cooperative work may be carried out for their resolution in the classroom and outside it.

- Active participation in the theory sessions will also be assessable, through assessable activities carried out during the class.

Weighting of the different evidences in the final assessment:

- The grade of the two mid-term exams represents 40% of the total value (20%+20%).

- Participation and results in different activities carried out in the theory sessions, will be assessed (20%). Regular class attendance is, thus, advised.

- The evaluation of the practical work in the PAUL sessions and of the results reports. The evaluation of the practical work will take into account the attendance and participation in class and the final report handed in.

To pass the course it will be necessary

a) to obtain the overall grade of 5 or plus (weighted average of exams, activities in the theory and practical sessions).

b) have obtained an average of 5 in the exams, with a grade of 4 or more in each exam,

c) the average evaluation of the practical sessions must exceed or equal the grade of 4.

Calculation of the final grade:

The final grade is the weighted average of all grades whereas exercises and exams not taken will count as 0 (zero). Practical exercises handed in after the established deadline will not be received and will be considered as not completed (grade 0, zero). The student will receive the grade of "Not evaluable" provided that he/she has not handed in more than 30% of the evaluation activities, including the two mid-term exams.

Reassessment:

There is a right to recovery, which will take place on the date set by the teaching coordination of the degree. The content part (exams) and the practical part (practical assignments) cannot be recovered together; it is necessary to have passed at least the exams or the practical dossier. Only those exams and exercises taken and/or handed in by the deadlines indicated above can be made up.

Effects on the evaluation of copying, plagiarism, and other irregularities:

In the event that the student carries out any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instigated. In the event of several irregularities occurring in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final mark for this subject will be 0. Among these irregularities is the copying or plagiarism of work or parts of work. Let us remember that a "copy" is considered to be a work that reproduces all or a large part of the work of another student. "Plagiarism" is the fact of presenting all or part of an author's text as one's own, without citing the sources, whether on paper or in digital format. See UAB documentation on "plagiarism" at: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html.

Review of partial and final grades:

At the time of completion of each evaluative activity, the lecturer will inform students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of revision of grades.

Other information:

Repeating students are not treated differently in terms of their assessment.

Health warnings: If the tests cannot be taken in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools. Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussions of exercises through Teams, etc. The lecturer will ensure that the student can access or offer alternative means within their reach.
