Continuous evaluation

Continuous assessment will consist of three categories:

- The first category is an individual written exam that will cover all the content covered in the subject, including theoretical explanations by the teaching staff, visualization of graphic documents, readings and conclusions of group work. This will constitute 50% of the final grade. The exam will be held on December 17, 2025.

- The second evaluation activity will be a final group project related to the development of a rehabilitation program. The content of the work will be agreed with the teaching staff of the subject. This work will represent 25% of the final grade. The deadline for the submission of the group work will be December 1, 2025.

- Finally, 25% of the final grade will be the grade or grades resulting from the presentations, participations and monographic topics of an individual nature proposed by the teachingstaff.

The retake will be on January 28, 2026 and will be a test similar to the regular test. To participate in the retake, students must have attended the previous tests.

Single assessment

The single assessment will consist of three elements:

- A written exam of development and argumentation on the content of the subject, which will represent 40% of the final grade. The exam date will be December 17, 2025.

- An individual project on the development of a rehabilitation program, which will represent 30% of the final grade and will be delivered at the beginning of the written test. This work will be defended orally before two experts in the field. The oral defense of the work will be carried out after the written exam following the order established by the teaching staff, as the organization allows.

- An individual work carried out in the classroom on the day of the evaluation, where a re-education or rehabilitation program must be designed, according to the criteria indicated in the test. This test will represent 30% of the final grade.

The recovery will be on January 28, 2026 through tests similar to the ordinary evaluation. For students who request it, the date and time of the review will be agreed with the teaching staff (approximately 3 to 4 days after the individual written exam). To participate in the recovery, students must have taken the previous assessments.

General criteria for continuous and single assessment

Whenever possible, a visit to the Model Prison in Barcelona will be arranged. The date will be determined at least one month in advance and will take place between October and November. The visit will take place on a Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Admission will be free, and the only expense will be transportation. In case of not being able to attend, other alternative days will be offered.

The subject is essentially professionalizing and oriented to the active participation of students in both theoretical and practical sessions. For this reason, face-to-face attendance is mandatory in both types of assessment: continuous and single.

To pass the subject, it is necessary to:

• Present all the evidence of evaluation.

• Obtain a minimum grade of 5 in each of the activities.

The final grade will only be calculated if these requirements are met. If they are not met, it will be considered non-assessable.

Students must attend a minimum of 80% of the teaching activities. Otherwise, students will have to take the exam directly. Only absences duly documented due to illness or other unforeseen situations of force majeure will be considered justified.

This subject is not suitable for students who usually need to leave before the end of the session. Classes start on time and neither entry once the session has started nor exit before the end is allowed.

Copying or plagiarism implies the grade of fail in the entire subject. The works go through the URKUND anti-plagiarism detection system.

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in any of its phases. Any work that includes AI-generated fragments will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater penalties in cases of severity.

The teaching methodology and the evaluation system may be modified depending on health or programming restrictions.

To pass this subject, the student must show good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the vehicular language(s) listed in the course guide. In all activities (individual and group) linguistic correctness, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.

This subject does not include a final exam for students who enrol for the second time.

Communication of grades and tutorials

• Grades will be communicated to students within 20 days after the evaluation, always guaranteeing a minimum margin of 48 hours before any retake, if applicable.
• Students may request a review of grades within the assigned tutorial schedule, upon request by email to the teaching staff.
• The tutorials will bededicated primarily to the resolution of specific doubts, not to the development of class content.

Other considerations
Communication with the teaching staff should only be done via email, not through the virtual campus.

No delivery of work or activities outside the established date and time will be accepted.

Modifications to schedules, if necessary, will be communicated in advance and will be made whenever the organization allows it.
