The methodological approach is practical. The aim of this approach is to enhance transfer of learning from the classroom to the professional environment. To this effect, the activities of the subject combine theoretical-practical introduction of contents with the application in practical situations.
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.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Practice avaluation | 50% | 0 | 0 | 3, 4, 1, 2, 9, 5, 16, 6, 7, 8, 15, 14, 13, 11, 12, 10, 18, 17 |

Continuous assessment
The evaluation of the subject includes:
• theoretical-practical nature (exams). It represents 50% of the final grade.
• works related to the content of the subject. They represent 50% of the final grade.
The works and the written test must have a grade of at least 3.5 to be able to add to the continuous evaluation.
The grade to pass the continuous evaluation will be the result of the sum of the test and the two works of the subject, provided that the minimum marks required to add are obtained. To pass the continuous assessment this average must be 5 or higher.
Examination-based assessment
Students who opt for single assessment will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the subject a (50%) and deliver the two works of the subject (50%)
The date for this test and the delivery of the work of the subject will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last exam of continuous evaluation.
The same recovery system will be applied as for continuous assessment.
Evaluation of students in second call or more
Students who repeat the subject must take the scheduled tests and exams and deliver the work of the subject on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.
Retake Exam
The student who does not pass the subject, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, in accordance with the criteria established in the two previous sections may submit to a final exam provided that the student has been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which equals a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.
In this exam the set of contents ofthe subject that have not been passed in the continuous evaluation will be reevaluated.
In the case of passing the final exam the subject will be approved with a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.
No evaluable
If you have not been evaluated of these two thirds for not having submitted to the tests, you will obtain a qualification as Not Presented, without having the possibility of submitting to the final recovery exam.
Change of date of a test or exam
Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling in the document found in the EPSI Tutorization Moodle space.
Once the document has been completed, it must be sent to the teaching staff of the subject and to the coordination of the Degree.
Review
At the time of carrying out each evaluation activity, the teaching staff will inform the students of the mechanisms for reviewing the qualifications.
For single assessment students, the review process will be the same.
Plague
If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been carried out with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
Use IA
In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the assignment. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI may beconsidered an academic irregularity and may result in a penalty on the assignment grade or the application of the consequences provided in the following section "Other Considerations."
Other considerations
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student makes any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed. In case of several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 ".
If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the subject.
