Main objective of this course is a good knowledge and understanding of the basic elements of the  process system, especially criminal process system: courts, parties and trials.

Students learning process in this course is organised around three types of activities:

Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title	Weighting	Hours	ECTS	Learning Outcomes
exam theory and/or practic	50%	5	0.2	1, 2, 4, 8, 9
group practical activities	25%	5	0.2	2, 3, 6, 5, 8, 10, 11, 9, 7
individual practical activities	25%	5	0.2	2, 3, 6, 5, 8, 10, 11, 9, 7

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT MODEL:

-There will be 3 scored activities, distributed throughout the course.

-At the beginning of the course, the lecturer of each group will indicate the specific date for these scored activities.

-The 3 scored activities are stated below and have the following weighting in the final grade:

1) group practical activities and participation: 25%

2) two individual practical activities: 25% 

3) theoretical and/or practical exam: 50%   

-Group and individual practical activities will generally take place in seminars. Attendance at seminars is compulsory and involves completing the assigned tasks in class and participating orally throughout the various sessions.

-In addition, the teaching staff may establish mechanisms to encourage attendance at theory classes, which, if applicable, will be outlined on the first day of class and/or on the virtual campus.

-The final grade of de course will be the average grade of the different activities. The criteria for calculating this average are as follows:

 

• The mark obtained in group practical activities and participation will only be considered if 70% of the seminars where these activities are held have been attended. Not attending 70% of these seminars means losing the percentage (25%) that these activities contribute to the final mark. The 30% of these seminars that can be skipped includes ordinary situations that may cause student absences.
• The mark obtained in individual practical activities will average regardless of the grade achieved.
• The mark obtained in the exam must be at least 5 out of 10 to be able to average with the other grades.

-Students wwil be assessed as long as they have completed a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total mark. If the value of the activities carried out does not reach this limit, the lecturer may considerer the student as not avaluable. 

  

REEVALUATION:

-Students who does not pass the continuous assessment  may be elegible for the reevaluation-exam.

-Practicat activites will no be re-evaluated. 

-For the reevaluation-exam students must at least have a 3'5 (out of 10) in the average grade of the course. 

SINGLE EVALUATION MODEL: 

Students will be assessed on the basis of a unique evaluation. This evaluation will include three types of activities:

a)      Theoretical exam (50%). The format will be multiple choice. Duratio: 60 minutes.

b)      Case paper (25%): The question(s) formulated in the case paper will have to be answered. The student can use the Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal and the Llei Orgànica del Poder Judicial in this activity. Duration: 60 minutes.

c)      Oral presentation (25%) before a University Tribunal: Two sectionsor subsections of the programme wil be offered and the student must select one to present it orally. The student will be given a maximum of 10 minutes to prepare the presentation; next, the student will make the oral defence (5 minutes), and, finally, the student will answer the questions arisen by teaching staff. 

To pass the course, the student needs a minimum score of 2,5 points in the exam, 1,25 points in the oral presentation and 1,25 points in the case paper.

Only failed activity will be subject to re-evaluation. 

The same rule of not avaluable will be applied as for continuous assessment. 

 

REVIEWING PROCESS:

-After the elaboration and qualification of every scored activity, lecturers will set a date to review the activity for those students that are interested. 

 

FRAUDULENT CONDUCT:  

Students who cheats or try to cheat an exam will have a 0 as a grade. Students who submits a paper o practical in which there is evidence of plagiarism will have a 0 as a grade and will receive a warning. In case of repetition, the students will fail the subject. 

 

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 

During seminar-classes the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks (such as information research, language tools or translations). The student must clearly identify the parts that have been generated with such technology and specify the tools used. Non-transparency in the use of AI in the assessable activities of the subject will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or to more serious penalties in certain cases.
