Continuous assessment. The subject will be assessed throughout the academic year through the activities listed in the assessment chart. To pass the subject, each of the assessed activities must be passed individually.

 

The delivery and/or assessment activities will be:

 

Group presentation of the project. No resit available.

Individual test on the theoretical contents of the subject: held the week following the oral presentation. A resit is possible, and the maximum score is 5.

Systematic observation practices: the practical activities will be distributed throughout the subject in the different seminars and will have a start date and a delivery date. The return and follow-up of the activities forming part of the grade will take place within 20 working days. Students who wish to review their grade must do so within 15 days of its publication during the office hours established by the teaching staff for this subject.

Observational research project, in groups of a maximum of 4 people: first teaching week of January. Resit: last week of January.

Students who have followed the subject adequately throughout the course and, despite this, have some aspect not achieved, will be given the opportunity to pass the subject by redoing the failed activity or activities, except for the group presentation, which is not recoverable. It will not be possible to recover an activity or assignment that has not been previously assessed. Students may resubmit activities throughout the semester, with the deadline being one week after the end of the course.

 

A student will be considered “not assessable” when they have not provided evidence of assessment for at least two-thirds of the total grade.

 

The final grade for the subject will be the weighted average of the assessed activities. Each part must be passed with a minimum score of 5. The subject will be passed with a minimum grade of 5. Toparticipate in the resit process, the subject’s responsible lecturer may require a minimum score of 3.5.

 

Single assessment. Students opting for single assessment must submit two pieces of evidence. The first will consist of an individually prepared observational research project of applied nature, to be submitted at the end of the course. It must cover the subject content and will have the same level of demand as the continuous assessment (60%). This research project will be defended orally and in person, and will be recorded in front of the teaching team, according to the schedule (20%). The second piece of evidence will consist of three written assignments related to the subject content (20%).

 

Students who have chosen the single assessment have the right to resit according to the subject's scheduled calendar, and the same resit procedure as continuous assessment will be applied.

 

Students retaking the subject may opt for a synthesis assessment (the dates for the tests coincide with those of the continuous assessment). In this case, students will only take the exams, which will be more extensive than those in the continuous assessment, and if they fail the exams, they will have the right to resit.

The teaching team considers attendance at classes (directed and supervised activities) to be essential and will monitor it.

 

Before submitting a piece of learning evidence, students must ensure they have correctly written sources, notes, quotations, and bibliographic references in accordance with APA standards.

 

Use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI)

 

In this subject, the use of generative artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, among others) is restricted to non-substantive support functions such as:

 

• Searching for general bibliography or initial information sources.

• Generating ideas or draft outlines for organising one’s own work.

• Reviewing formal aspects such as grammar or style, without modifying the core content.

 

The use of GAI is not allowed for:

 

• Writing all or part of the different proposed activities and practices.

• Generating content presented as one’s own work.

• Replacing the process of personal reflection in assessment activities.

 

Improper use of GAI—understood as presenting AI-generated content as one’s own—may result in a failing grade (0) for that piece of assessment.

 

Copying or plagiarism of material—whether in written assignments, practices, or exams—constitutes academic dishonesty and will be penalised with a 0 as the final grade for the subject. A task or activity will be considered "plagiarised" when part of a text from another author is presented as original without citing the source, regardless of whether the original source is in paper or digital format. A task, activity, or exam will be considered "copied" when all or part of another student’s work is reproduced.

 

Topass this subject, the student must demonstrate good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the vehicular language specified in the course guide.

 

All activities (individual and group) will take into account linguistic accuracy, writing quality, and formal presentation. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and accurately and must demonstrate a high level of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if the lecturer considers it does not meet these requirements.

 

Students must show an attitude compatible with the teaching profession as a requirement for passing the subject. Among the professional competencies expected are: active listening, respect, participation, cooperation, empathy, kindness, punctuality, non-judgmental attitude, reasoning ability, appropriate mobile phone use...
