1. Exam. It accounts for 40% of the final grade. It is a test-type exam that includes the content covered in all the teaching activities of the subject.

2. Seminar Activities: it accounts for 50% of the final grade. During all seminar sessions the following activities will be performed and evaluated:

2.1. Completion and oral defense of works: It represents 20% of the final grade. Resolution of a practical case through the group presentation of a theoretical work. It will be evaluated using a rubric designed for this purpose. The ability to identify and prioritize problems, literature review, intervention-evaluation proposal and academic writing will be fundamentally evaluated. Work will not be accepted outside the established period.

2.2. Body-Mapping Activity: accounts for 15% of the final grade. Preparation of a plastic work where students must illustrate the contents worked on in the theoretical classes applied to the practical case worked previously.

2.3. Narrative Photography Activity: accounts for 15% of the final grade. Exhibition of 3-4 images related to the case worked on, and that allow explaining key aspects of it. The images will be accompanied by a summarized explanatory text.

3. Submission of reports (self-assessment): It accounts for 10% of the final grade. On the day of the last seminar, each student must submit, via Moodle, a self-evaluation report of 2-3 pages in which they reflect and evaluate their degree of achievement of the skills included in the guide. The format of the exercise is free. Likewise, it must be clear which knowledge has been acquired and which has not. The report must be realistic, clearly justified, and include a numerical grade between 0 and 10. The tutor responsible for each specialized seminar group will review the report. In the event of a major discrepancy with the teacher's opinion, the document will be returned to the student body so that they can reflect on their assessment and correct it. No self-assessments will be accepted outside the established period. Failure to submit the exercise results in a grade of 0.

Any sign of academic dishonesty, such as plagiarism or manipulation of assessment documents, etc., or any discriminatory, violent or disrespectful attitude towards classmates and/or teachers, may result in the immediate suspension of the subject. In case of suspicion and/or confirmation, the degree coordination will be informed.

From 0 to 4.9 = Suspension
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Passed

From 9.0 to 10 = Honor registration

Students have the right to review the assessment tests. For this purpose, the date will be specified in Moodle.
