Since all the training and assessment activities are around the topics of the conferences, attendance (or viiewing) to those is, in general mandatory and it is monitored throughout the course. The timetable is organised so that the first year students of the degrees of physics and mathematics (for which the subject is compulsory) can attend the lectures without incompatibilities. 4th year students  (for which the subject is optional) and all the students in second or higher enrollment that document at the beginning of the course their incompatibility to attend the lectures, will be considered as non-presencial students and will have mechanisms of differentiated evaluation.

There are three types of assessment activities:

A) Individual short objective tests (20% of the final grade). They are test type tests that will be done telematically after each conference. These tests will assess the degree of attention and understanding of the subject. Assistance to the conferences will give access to the realization of these tests. Failure  to realize the tests of three or more conferences,  will automatically lead to the "no-show" qualification. In case of duly justified absences  (up to a maximum of three), the corresponding activity will be authorized in the same way as non-face-to-face students as detailed below.

Remote students must follow lectures via the recordings and materials of the Virtual Campus and perform a specific test about them for the Moodle classroom. Students must follow all the lectures and answer all the tests. The non-completion of three or more  tests will automatically lead to the "no-show" qualification for both face-to-face and remote students.

B) Student portfolio (35% of the final grade). Students will have to update a virtual portfolio in the Moodle classroom, where they will receive the deliveries of the exercises and compulsory activities that will be proposed during the course.There will also be a selection of materials that will show your involvement in the discussion sessions of the conferences, where your personal opinions and searches are reflected. Depending on the type of exercise proposed, cross-curricular skills such as critical thinking, autonomous learning, the ability to analyze and synthesize, etc. will be valued. and may be different for first and fourth year students, adapting to their level of studies.

C)Final project  (45% of the final mark) Each student will have to participate in the preparation of a compulsory final project in groups of 3-4 members.  The topic will be chosen among those that will be proposed by the specialists of the different sessions. The  work must be submitted  to the Moddle classroom within the marked periods and must conform to the formal and content characteristics of a scientific work, fulfilling the criteria that will be presented at the beginning of the course in a specific informational session. In the case of fourth year students, it must be written in English, with the structure of a scientific research article and can not be done on the subjects directly related to the degree that the student is studying.

Throughout the course there will be several public sessions for the oral presentations, on dates that will be announced in the calendar of sessions. All the members of the group have to present a part of the work. This presentation is strictly compulsory. The evaluation will be done by a committee of professors that will evaluate the quality ofthe presentation, the capacity of communication and organization, etc.  If possible, the timetable of the presentations will take into account the students constraints.   For students abroad there is the possibility of doing their part of the presentation by videoconference.

<spanclass="HwtZe" lang="en">In any case, it is the student's obligation to reserve the presentation dates, which will be known at the beginning of the course. In case of incompatiblity with any of the dates, it must be notified enough in advance to the professor's team of TCA to facilitate making adjustments if possible.

The qualification of the final work will take into account both the submitted text and the presentation. The mark can not be less than 4 to be able to pass the course. If this grade is not passed, a modification of the work may be suggested.

AI tools.

Naturally, they are not prohibited, but excessive use of AI will be penalized, if there are serious errors or if, for example, the style and languageof the written work is very far from thestyle and language used in the presentation oral

Single assessment:

Students with compulsory attendance who wish to take the single assessment option can request to be considered non-face-to-face. Thus, all activities will be done remotely (and are already scheduled with sufficient time flexibility). The presentation of the final work, however, is mandatory in the terms indicated insection C). For students who are already assessed non-face-to-face by default, the subject incorporates the single assessment naturally. In very exceptional cases of severe incompatibility, the subject team may consider adapting the schedule of remote activities.
