Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The assessment of the course contains individual learning evidence according to the assessment guidelines established by the Faculty of Psychology (https://www.uab.cat/doc/DOC_Pautes_Avaluacio_2023_2024). Four individual learning evidences have been designed, with different weights for each one, which allow for continuous assessment.

Individual learning evidence. Four tests have been designed: 1) Written case study tests (EV1, EV2 and EV3) involving formative assessment through case studies. A minimum of 3 written tests. These tests consist of a written multiple-choice multiple-choice test, in classroom mode, of 5 questions on a forensic case on a specific topic given to the module in classroom format. The practical case will be placed on the moodle, with time prior to attending the seminar involved in order to be autonomously worked-discussed by the student individually and in groups, and the 5 multiple-choice multiple-choice questions will be answered during the last part of the class. The total mark for these evidences of learning has a maximum value of 60% of the final mark of the module, being 20% for each of the three evidences; 2) Written test (EV4). It is a compulsory written test in virtual mode, multiple-choice multiple-choice test on all 12 topics that make up the module, which will be applied at the end of the semester during the assigned evaluation week. The total mark for this evidence of learning is worth a maximum of 40% of the final mark for the module.

In order to obtain a final mark for the module or subject, which is between 0 and 10, the student must have presented the 4 proposed learning evidences. The final mark for the module is made up of the following formulation: Final mark= [(mark EV1x0.2) + (EV2x0.2) + (EV3x0.2)+ (EV3x0.4)]. Each of the evidences of learning has a pre-established weighted weighting.

Timing of the evidences of learning. Evidence 1 to 3 will be carried out during weeks 14, 18and 19 respectively. Evidence 4 will take place on 23 February 2024 (week 23). The data of learning evidences 1 to 3 can be modified according to unforeseen needs of the teaching programme, except for learning evidence 4.

Definition of an assessable student: a student who has completed all the proposed evidence of learning with a weight equal to or higher than 4 points (40%) will be considered as "assessable".

Definition of passing the module-subject: a student has passed the module-subject when he/she has taken all the proposed learning evidences, obtaining a total of at least 5 points in the continuous assessment, with a minimum of 3. 5 points or more (on a scale of 0-10) for learning evidences 1, 2 and 3. If this requirement is not met, the maximum mark that the student may obtain is 4.9 points (fail). Students who do NOT present all the evidence of learning will NOT pass the subject-module, even if the overall grade is equal to or higher than 5. Once the subject-module has been passed (grade > 5) NO systems can be established to improve the final grade.

Recovery test. Only students who have a continuous assessment mark of 3.5 points or more, but less than 5 points, may take this test. In order to be eligible for this test, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to at least 2/3 of the total qualification of the subject-module. This recovery test will consist of 40 written multiple-choice questions corresponding to the content taught in the 12 seminars that make up the module. This recovery test does not serve to increase the mark if a student has already passed it. The maximum mark that a student who takes the make-up test can obtain in the overall course is a 5.

It is not foreseen that students of 2nd or subsequent enrolment will be assessed by means of a single synthesis test.
