The subject is taught using different methodologies. The master class aims at developing ‘cos calves’ concepts of the subject, to conceptually present the subject and the preparation of situations, resolution of cases and its discussion, that approach the student to the reality of the HR.
N.B. The proposed teaching and assessment methodologies may experience some modifications as a result of the restrictions on face-to-face learning imposed by the health authorities. The teaching staff will use the Moodle classroom or the usual communication channel to specify whether the different directed and assessment activities are to be carried out on site or online, as instructed by the Faculty.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
EV1. Participation in working sessions | 30% | 0 | 0 | 19, 9, 15 |
EV2. Development of a HR process | 40% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 5, 6, 12, 4, 8, 10, 18, 13, 14, 15, 17, 16, 3 |
EV3. Multiple choice test | 30% | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 7, 12, 9, 8, 10, 11, 13, 20 |
Course Assessment will be based on 3 pieces of evidence:
Participation in class activities (30% of the final grade). This is an individually graded component. It is considered passed with at least 80% attendance in scheduled class sessions and the submission of brief evidence after each session (minimum 80% of completed ones).
Group project (40%). This is a group-graded component. It must be submitted in week 12. The evidence consists of a written report and its defense.
Multiple-choice exam (30%). This is individually graded and will be conducted during the second assessment period.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for each Assessment
Evidence | Permitted Use of AI |
---|---|
EV1 | Permitted with limitations: AI may support idea structuring, but not full writing. |
EV2 | Not permitted: fully personal work is expected. |
EV3 | Permitted with limitations: only as a consultation or example-generation tool, with mandatory citation. |

Students that achieved less than 40% will be graded as "Not grading".
L’AVALUACIÓ ÚNICA ES SOL·LICITA TELEMÀTICAMENT (E-FORMULARI) EN EL PERÍODE ESPECÍFIC (més informació al web de la Facultat)
Students wishing to opt for the single assessment (SA) system must request it according to the faculty's established calendar and follow the indicated procedure. This mode involves completing one single assessment activity per piece of evidence, as defined by the teaching staff. The single assessment will follow the same quality and rigor standards as continuous assessment.
Eligibility for retake: Students who have not met the requirements to pass the course and have been assessed in activities covering at least two-thirds of the total grade are eligible. The minimum grade to qualify for retake is 3.5. The retake will always take the form of EV3 (multiple-choice exam). The grade obtained will be the final grade.
Students enrolled for the second or subsequent times are not expected to be evaluated through a single, non-recoverable synthesis exam.
The SA will take place on the same day and time as the exam in the second assessment period and will cover all course content. It will consist of a written exam, submission of the worked cases, and a report on the HR development process. The final grade will be calculated in the same way as for continuous assessment. The same recovery system as continuous assessment will apply.
Title | Weight | Submission Date |
---|---|---|
E1: Case submission | 30% | Second assessment period |
E2: Report | 40% | |
E3: Exam | 30% |
