This course applies continuous evaluation and it is not possible to opt for a comprehensive evaluation.

Evaluation evidence:

- The evaluation of the contents will be carried out through two partial exams. They will consist of 4-5 short questions, which will measure the ability to use the concepts and indicators in the appropriate context, and to interpret them correctly from the point of view of demographic dynamics. The dates will be included in the course syllabus and will be communicated on the first day of class. These tests must be taken in person, on the day, time and classroom assigned.

Erasmus students requesting to bring forward an exam date must submit to the professor in charge a written document from the home university justifying this request.

- The evaluation of the practicals will be based on the individual report dossiers. Active attendance and participation in the discussion of results in each practical class will be an evaluable element. The reports of the practical work delivered will be individual for each student, although a cooperative work can be carried out for its resolution in the classroom and out of it.

- Active participation in the theory sessions will also be evaluable, through evaluable activities that will be carried out during the class.

 Weight of the different evidences in the final evaluation:

 - The grade of both mid-term exams represents 45% of the total value (22.5% + 22.5%).

 - Participation and results in different activities carried out in the theory sessions will be evaluated, for which class attendance will be required (10%).

 - The evaluation of the practical work in the PAUL sessions and of the results reports. The evaluation of the practicals will take into account the attendance and participation in class and the final report (45%, average of all the practicals).

 To pass the course it will be necessary:

 a) to exceed 5 in the overall grade (weighted average of exams, activities in the theory and practical sessions).

 b) have obtained an average of 5 in the exams, with a grade of 4 or higher in each exam,

c) the average evaluation of the internship must exceed or equal the grade 4.

 Calculation of final grade:

 The final grade is the weighted average of all grades and exercises and exams not taken will count as 0 (zero). Practical exercises handed in after the established deadline will not be received and will be considered as not completed (grade 0, zero). The student will receive a grade of "Not evaluable" if he/she has not submitted more than 30% of the evaluation activities, including both partial exams.

 Reassessment:

 There is a right to reassessment, which will take place on the date set by the teaching coordination of the degree. The reassessment is possible if the student has been previously evaluated in 66% of the evaluation activities, including the two partial exams. Only those exams and exercises taken and/or handed in within the indicated deadlines can be reassessed.

Effects on the evaluation of copying, plagiarism and other irregularities:

 In case the student makes any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In case of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0. Among these irregularities is the copying or plagiarism of work or parts of work. Let us remember that a "copy" is considered a work that reproduces all or a large part of the work of another student. "Plagiarism" is the fact of presenting all or part of an author's text as one's own, without citing the sources, whether on paper or in digital format. See UAB documentation on "plagiarism" at: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html.

 Review of partial and final grades:

 At the time of each evaluation activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of grade review.

 Use of Artificial Intelligence

 Restricted use: For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks in the completion of practical work, such as bibliographic or information search, or text correction. The student must clearly identify in which parts this technology has been used, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The non-transparency of the use of AI in the practical reports will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or higher penalties in serious cases.

 Other information:

 Repeater students do not have a differentiated treatment of their evaluation.

 Health alerts: In case the tests cannot be taken in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the virtual tools of the UAB. Homework, activities and class participation will be done through forums, wikis and/or discussions of exercises through Teams, etc. The professor will ensure that the student can access or offer alternative means, which are within their reach.
