Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



Evaluation: this is a continuous evaluation

- Production of a group UD 40% 

  • Written work 20% (Presentation of a work, design of activities) 
  • Oral presentation 20% (Register of behaviors, degree of participation)

- Individual assessment tests 40%

  • Interview 10% 
  • Theoretical test 30%

- Paper individual 20%

  • Personal reflections on personal development and learning

-Assistance in class (IN PERSON or VIRTUAL). Obligatory monitoring of the activities of continuous evaluation

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. . It will be necessary to distinguish the activities of training of the evaluation activities.

To achieve as much objectivity as possible in the assessment, the student will be asked for maximum consistency between the individual assessment notes and the group assessment notes. If this consistency does not exist, the individual grade obtained in the classroom will always be prioritized as the final grade. This is because we think that the competence in group work is unique and that the rest of the competences that the student must achieve are individual. In the event of suspending the skills related to any of the continuous assessment activities, a symbolic suspension will be placed on the first call. When the suspended skills have been recovered, in the 2nd call, the previous continuous assessment grades will be taken into account and the final grade will be weighted with the grade obtained in the 2nd call. In case of NP in the first call, it will be required, in the second call, the presentation of all the planned continuous assessment activities, as a measure to be able to evaluate the skills.

In line with the social responsibility that comes with the function of teachers, it is necessary to specify two more conditions in the evaluation of this subject. First of all, mention that the attitudes that the teaching staff consider to be academic irresponsibility can lead to not achieving the pass in the subject, to enter into complete contradiction with the profile of the teacher, as indicated by the qualification qualification 7 CET7 . Secondly, and in relation to CG 2, specify that the vehicular language of this subject is Catalan (although documentation can be worked on in Spanish or English), in this sense, in any written assessment test, will penalize with 0.1 points, each spelling mistake considered serious, in work written by hand. If the work is done by computer means, each fault will deduct 0.5 points. In both cases they can be discounted up to 2 points. If an excess of spelling mistakes or inappropriate writing is noticed in the review of a work, from the beginning, the work will be returned so that the student can correct it and hand it in again after a week. In this case, you will receive 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 any student presents, in a justified way, a difficulty in meeting these conditions, he/she must inform the teacher.
