Working groups:
Only working groups of 4 or 5 people will be accepted. Only working groups with people in the same "enrollment group" (matricula) are accepted.
A change of enrollment group can be managed this way: A) it is requested during the first 2 weeks of the course to the Academic Management Service, B) it is approved by the Faculty, and C) it is comunicated by the student to the teaching responsable of the "new" enrollement group.

To pass the subject (CONTINUED EVALUATION: students enrolled in the first call):
It is necessary to fulfill THREE conditions plus the achievement of a minimum grade calculated according to the weight of each type of activity.
1. Conditions for accessing the calculation of the grade.

• A) Participation in at least 80% of the practical sessions of compulsory seminars according to the calendar of activities (or absence justified by documentation provided up to a maximum of one week after the specific session), and
• B) obtain a minimum average grade of 4 in each of the 3 partial tests, and
• C) obtain a minimum average grade of 4 for the entire group research project, and participation in the final public presentation.

2. Calculation of the grade: Obtain a minimum weighted average grade of 5 in the set of the three continuous assessment activities: Monitoring (10%), Tests (36%), Project (54%).

The ZOTERO training activity and the individual contribution activity within the group work will be assessed at teachers' discretionality as possible increases to enable the achievement of certain minimum assessment milestones (4 to make averages, 5 to pass the course, 9 to obtain honors enrollment).

To pass the subject (SYNTHESIS EVALUATION: students enrolled in the second or subsequent call):
This subject does NOT include a single assesment system.
In the case of students who have passed conditions (A) and (C) in previous calls for the subject, and who so communicate at the very beginning of the course, they will be given the option of passing the course by taking a single "synthesis test".

To participate in the compensatory activities (regular course NOT passed in June):
Only the 3 individual written exams and the 3 group project assignments can be "compensated" in a second-chance evaluation.
The participation in practices and attendance activities are not considered recoverable, by their very nature.
In any case, this second-chance will imply a maximum score of 8 in the final grade of the subject.

To appear as "no avaluable" in the official records:
Only those who have not provided sufficient evidence of assessment throughout the course will be graded as "not present": those people who have not attended 50% of all scheduled assessment activities.

Faculty agreements regarding the Policy about students with language difficulties:
The answers to the exams can be given in Catalan, Spanish or English (the Faculty's working languages), regardless of the language in which the exams are made.
The use of electronic devices is not allowed to take the exams, except in (1) justified ERASMUS cases previously agreed with the teaching staff, or (2) PIUNE adaptations.

Level of permitted use of AI in the subject (Prohibited use):
In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted in any of its phases. Any work that includes AI-generated fragments will beconsidered a lack of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
