  • Deliveries and presentations 40%

To be evaluated, the student must have a minimum of 80% attendance and participation, and 50% of the exercises, practical cases, deliveries and presentations.

To pass the subject it is necessary to pass each module independently (with a grade of 5/10 or higher).

 If the subject is not approved, the master's coordination will offer the student the possibility to re-evaluate the module/s that have not been passed, according to the evaluation of the professors and the coordination.
If the student approves the re-evaluation, the maximum mark he will get in the re-evaluated part will be 5. The re-evaluation calendar will be published together with the module's grade list.

USE OF IA: 

“For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information search, text correction or translations, as well as under professors' recommendation.
The students will have to 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 result of the activity.
The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in cases of seriousness.”
