The evaluation of this course is carried out through the assessment of three blocks, each with a specific weight.

Written assessment through objective tests: multiple-choice questions
This accounts for 50% of the final grade. A minimum score of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course.
The objective is to assess the acquisition of the course knowledge worked on through the various formative activities (theory and seminars). It will be carried out once all teaching sessions of the course have concluded. It consists of multiple-choice questions with 4 options and only one correct answer. Incorrect answers will be penalized according to the following formula: x = correct answers – (incorrect answers/n-1), where n is the number of answer options.

Assessment of the submission and presentation of seminar work
This accounts for 40% of the final grade. A minimum score of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course.
Preparation, submission, presentation, and defense of group work based on the presented case and on a topic complementary to those covered during the theoretical sessions. Each student must submit the group work via Moodle. The presentation and defense will take place during the third seminar. The content developed and the oral presentation by each group member will be evaluated. Failure to attend 50% of the work seminars (seminars 1 and 2) and/or the seminar for the case presentation (seminar 3) will be considered NOT ASSESSED.

Attendance and active participation of students
Assessment will be carried out through the evaluation of three activities, one for each module, using an assessment rubric with a self-assessment component.
This accounts for 10% of the final grade and does not require a minimum score to pass the course.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

This course includes the possibility of opting for single assessment, in accordance with current university regulations.
Applying for single assessment implies waiving the continuous assessment system and requires the student to demonstrate achievement of the course objectives and learning outcomes in a single sitting, through various assessment activities scheduled on a single date set in the academic calendar.

The single assessment will consist of the following tests, which replicate the weight and type of activities from the continuous assessment:

Objective written test (50%)
Completion of a multiple-choice test (4 options, only one correct). Incorrect answers will be penalized according to the formula: x = correct answers – (incorrect answers/n-1), where n is the number of answer options. This test assesses the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge of the course. A minimum score of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course.

Case study resolution and defense (40%)
The student must individually solve a case study, with short and reflective answer questions related to the content covered in theory and seminars. Afterwards, the student will make an individual oral defense of the key points of the case, without IT support.This activity assesses the ability to apply knowledge and oral expression. A minimum score of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course.

Participation and personal reflection (10%)
Completion of an individual activity of reflection and self-assessment on the learning process and participation, using an assessment rubric. This activity does not require a minimum score to pass the course.

Important:
Failure to achieve the minimum required score in any part implies failing the course, according to the same criteria established for continuous assessment.
Students wishing to opt for single assessment must submit their application within the deadlines set by the center and follow the specific instructions that will be communicated via the virtual campus.

FINAL GRADE OBTAINMENT

The final grade of the course corresponds to the sum of the grades from the proposed assessment activities.
To obtain the final grade and thus pass the course, students must have participated in all assessment components and obtained the minimum required score in each of the two parts. Failure to pass any or all of these parts that require a minimum grade implies failing the course.

Students who have not passed the course through continuous assessment may take a resit exam. To be eligible for the resit, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is at least two-thirds of the total grade for the course (article 112 ter. of the UAB assessment regulations).

If the student does not attend any or all of the two planned assessment activities, the final grade will be Not Assessed.
Students have the right to review their assessment tests. The date for this will be set on the Virtual Campus.

According to agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 17/11/2010 of the assessment regulations, the grades will be:
0 to 4.9 = Fail
5.0 to 6.9 = Pass
7.0 to 8.9 = Good
9.0 to 10 = Excellent
9.0 to 10 = Distinction

Important:
Plagiarism or copying others’ work constitutes a serious offence and will result in automatic failure of the course.
To ensure proper citation of texts and materials, students must consult the academic citation guidelines available on the Library’s website.
The use of artificial intelligence for generating any assessment activities, including seminar work and in-class activities, is not permitted in this course.
