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 coherence with the social responsibility that the role of the teachers entails, two more factors must be specified in the evaluation of this subject. In the first place, mention that attitudes that teachers consider to be academic irresponsibility may not achieve the approved in the subject, to enter into complete contradiction with the teacher's profile, as indicated by the competence of the degree course 7 CET7 . Secondly, and in relation to CG 2, specify that the vehicular language of this subject is Catalan (although documents in Spanish or English can be worked on), in this sense, in any written assessment test, it 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 believe 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, justifiably, a difficulty in reaching these conditions, they must be communicated to the teacher.
