Evaluation systems and criteria

In blended



Assessment: This is an ongoing assessment


– Preparation of a UD in group 50%

  • Written work 25% (Presentation of a work, design of activities) 
  • Oral presentation 25% (Behavior register, degree of participation)

– Individual assessment tests 30%

  • 10% interview 
  • Theoretical test 20%

– Individual portfolio 20%

  • Portfolio and Reflective Memory

-Class attendance (IN PERSON or ONLINE). Obligation to monitor continuous assessment activities

The evaluation of the subject will be developed from the evaluation of progress throughout the teaching period. The records that will allow this evaluation will be taken from the different activities of continuous evaluation, which will have a varied nature. Specifically, the subject will be evaluated from the elaboration of a UD or project, the continuous elaboration of a portfolio, the participation competent in the academic tutorials and the realization of individual tests of evaluation. Other situations from which data are extracted are the observation and assessment of the participation in the classroom and the self-evaluation. It will be necessary to distinguish the activities of training of the evaluation activities.

To achieve the maximum possible objectivity in the assessment, the student will be asked as closely as possible between the individual assessment notes and the group assessment notes. If this consistency does not exist, the individual mark obtained in the classroom will always be prioritized, as a final grade. This is because we think that the component in group work is unique and that the rest of the competences that the student has to achieve are individual.

In coherence with the social responsibility that the function of the teachers entails, it is necessary to specify two more factors in the evaluation of this subject. In the first place, mention that the attitudes that teachers consider of academic irresponsibility may not achieve the approved in the subject, to enter into complete contradiction with the teacher profile, as indicated by the competence of qualification 7 CET7 . Secondly, and in relation to CG 2, specify that the vehicular language of this subject is Catalan (although documentation in Spanish or English can be worked), in this sense, in any test of written evaluation, is Penalize with 0.2 points, each lack of spelling considered serious. If the revision of a work is perceived, from the beginning, an excess of spelling mistakes or improper writing, the work will be returned for the student to correct it and return it again within a week. In this case, you will have to approve a pass at most. We think that these considerations will be of great help to improve the quality of the future work as teachers and the current academic work. If a student presents, justifiedly, a difficulty in reaching these conditions, they must inform the teacher.
