1. System of compulsory attendance to classes

a) Attendance is mandatory. Professors will register absences for each session, which can be justified or unjustified. Absences can only be justified for reasons of illness, other important inconveniences and for academic reasons previously authorized by the teaching staff.

b) If a student does not attend at least 80% of teaching, he or she cannot be evaluated.

c) Justified absences cannot be counted negatively. The professor must enable the student to recover the work done in class in the case of excused absence. This kind of justified absences must be documented. Justified absences are those resulting from situations which prevent students from attending educational activities, such as unexpected illness or similar situations. Teachers may consider also justified absences the situations in which students have to attend (and document) other training activities of the degree.

2. Requirements to pass the course

A minimum mark of 5 will be required for each of the course's learning outcomes in order to pass the course. The weight in the final grade of each of the activities is marked in the learning outcomes scheme.
Students will be assessed if they have completed a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to at least 2/3 of the total qualification for the course. If the value of the activities carried out does not reach this threshold, the teacher of the course may consider the student as not assessable.

Students will have to submit three pieces of individual evidence of learning from the course, a final multiple-choice exam, and a group assignment:

EV1 Osgood's contributions to conflict resolution, consisting of reading a text and answering questions about the applicability of his contributions to a real conflict.

EV2 Gender perspective and conflict transformation, consisting of reading a text and answering questions about the applicability of its contributions to a real conflict.

EV3 Psychosocial analysis of a contemporary conflict, consisting of choosing a contemporary conflict and conducting a psychosocial analysis of it and proposals for intervention to the rest of the class. 

EV4 Group work. Students must choose a real conflict and use one of the conflict transformation techniques studied in class. The work has different phases: a presentation in class of the conflict proposal and its transformation (theory, role-play, etc.), evaluation or design of the evaluation of the intervention, and presentation of a written report of the experience and its relationship to the theory.

EV5. Final exam in the form of a multiple-choice test.

EV6. Quick test after each topic covered in the course.

  3. Resit

If a student fails any of the activities, he or she will have a possibility of a new evaluation by doing a new activity at the end of the classes.

4. Consequences of fraud

A student who copies or attempts to copy in an exam will receive a 0 in the subject and will lose the right to re-evaluation. A student who submits an assignment that shows signs of plagiarism or who cannot justify the arguments in their assignment will receive a 0 and a warning. If the behaviour is repeated, the student will fail the course (0) and lose the right to retake it.

Except in cases of force majeure, delays in the submission of learning evidence will not be accepted. Students will receive a mark of 0 for any practical work that is not submitted.

5. Late presentations

They are not accepted, except in cases of force majeure. The student will get a zero in the undelivered practice.

6. Punctuality

Classes start on time. Except in duly justified cases, admission to class is not allowed once it has started. It is also not permitted to leave class before the scheduled end time. 

 

7. Single assessment system

To pass the single assessment, students must submit evidence of learning in audiovisual format and take an exam:

 1. A practical exercise on non-violent communication incorporating a gender perspective, which accounts for 30% of the final mark and consists of recording a role-play in which a conflict is presented and the student applies non-violent communication with the aim of transforming the situation.

2. An open question on the day of the final exam about the study of a social conflict relevant to criminology, with the design of an intervention based on the principles of conflictology that incorporates a gender perspective, which accounts for 35% of the grade and consists of:

A complete analysis of the conflict based on the model and/or theory of your choice

The use of a gender-sensitive intervention model to improve the conditions of the chosen conflict

The establishment of a prognosis for the conflict, based on the analysis carried out.

 3. The multiple-choice exam with the rest of the students. At the time of the written exam, you will hand in the above-mentioned work.

 The material for the single assessment consists of the presentations given in the theory classes and seminars, as well as the compulsory (and recommended) reading list in the course guide.
