Continuous Assessment of the subject takes place throughout the teaching period and is structured with a weighting of 50% for individual assessment and 50% for group assessment. This is carried out through the submission of three assessment tasks, of various types, distributed throughout the course as follows:

1. Individual Reflection Task (35% of the final grade). This is a written assessment task based on reflection and in-depth analysis of the contents and readings covered in the course. It will be carried out on the following date: 09 January 2026.
2. Ongoing Individual Tasks (15% of the final grade). This assessment task requires ongoing work throughout the course, through the submission of practical assignments, with the aim of reflecting on and/or applying resources and/or readings related to Education, Sustainability, and Consumption. Tasks will be submitted one week after the session requiring the practical task.
3. Group Task: Design and Presentation of a Sustainability Education Project (50% of the final grade). This task requires the design, presentation, and co-assessment of educational resources for Sustainability Education that incorporate the didactic principles addressed in the course. The group materials will be submitted on the following dates: 12 and 19 December 2025.

 

The course includes the option of Single Assessment, which consists entirely of individual assessment (100%). This mode involves the submission of four assessment tasks as follows:

1. Reflection Task (35% of the Single Assessment grade). Written task based on reflection and in-depth analysis of the course content and readings.
2. Design and Presentation of a Sustainability Education Project (50% of the Single Assessment grade). Task requiring the design, presentation, and co-assessment of educational resources that incorporate the didactic principles addressed in the course.
3. Oral Argumentation Task (15% of the Single Assessment grade). This is an oral interview to argue and defend the previously submitted tasks, as well as to demonstrate mastery of the course content.

Submission date for Single Assessment tasks:09 January 2026.

The characteristics and specific instructions for all activities will be explained at the beginning of the course. Assessment tasks will be graded and returned by the teaching team within a period not exceeding 20 working days according to the academic calendar. Students wishing to review their grades may do so during a specific assessment and review tutorial arranged in advance by the teaching staff.

NOT ASSESSED. A student will be considered "not assessed" if they fail to meet the attendance requirement and have not provided sufficient assessment evidence (must have submitted at least two-thirds of the required assessment tasks). In this case, the student will not be eligible for the recovery process.

Requirements and criteria to pass both continuous and single assessment:

• Students must pass each of the 3 (continuous assessment) or 4 (single assessment) tasks (after the recovery process, if applicable), with a minimum grade of 5, in order for the average to be calculated and to obtain the final grade.
• Students must have attended at least 80% of the course sessions. If this attendance requirement is not met, the student will be marked as "not presented." Justifications for absences serve only to explain the absence and do not exempt students from mandatory attendance.
• Students must demonstrate general communicative competence, both oral and written, and a good command of the Catalan language. All assessment tasks (individual and group) will be evaluated for linguistic, orthographic, and grammatical correctness, as well as quality of writing and formal presentation. An activity may be returned as 'not assessed' or failed if the teacher considers it does not meet these requirements.
• Students must exhibit a professional attitude consistent with the teaching profession. Competencies that will be considered include active listening, respect, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgmental attitude, argumentation, appropriate mobile phone use, etc. In group work, one or more inappropriate attitudes may lower the individual grade. Therefore, members of the same group may receive different grades for the same activity.
• Assessment tasks must meet the formal requirements of an academic paper. For example, it is recommended to ensure that sources, footnotes, textual citations, and bibliographic references are correctly formatted according to APA 7 standards.

 

Recovery. According to UAB academic regulations, to be eligible for the recovery process, the following criteria must be met:

• All course assessment tasks are recoverable, provided the student has been previously assessed for the corresponding task.
• However, to access the recovery process, a minimum average grade of 3.5 is required. If this condition is not met, recovery is not possible and the course will be automatically failed.
• The student must have complied with the course assessment requirements.
• The student must have met the transparency criteria regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). *
• The student must not have violated any rules regarding cheating or plagiarism. **
• The maximum grade that can be obtained in the recovery process is 5 out of 10 for the recovered task. This grade will be averaged with the rest of the assessment results.

Planned recovery date:30 January 2026.

* In this course, the use of AI technologies is only permitted for the field trip activity and the didactic seminar activity. Its use is limited to support tasks such as information or bibliography searches, text correction, or translation of articles into a language different from the usual language of instruction. If AI is used, students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final outcome. Lack of transparency in AI use will be considered academic dishonesty and may lead to partial or total penalties on the task grade or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

** According to UAB academic regulations, copying or plagiarism in any assessment task constitutes a serious offense. It will be sanctioned with a grade of 0 for the entire course and loss of the right to recovery, whether the work is individual or group-based (in which case all group members will receive a 0). If a student is found attempting to copy or using unauthorized materials or devices during an in-class activity, the activity will be graded with a 0, with no option for recovery, and the course will be failed. A task is considered "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of another student's work. A task is considered "plagiarized" when it presents a part of a text by another author as one's own without citing sources, regardless of whether the original source is in print or digital format.

SYNTHESIS EXAM. From the second enrollment in the course onwards, a synthesis exam may be taken to assess the learning outcomes defined in this Course Guide. In this case, the final grade for the course will correspond to the grade obtained in the synthesis exam. The exam will take place on 09/01/2026.
