Official assessment of learning outcomes
Continuous assessment
Requirements: minimum of 80% attendance (absences only justified for reasons of illness with medical proof; funerals, weddings and hospitalizations up to second degree of consanguinity, and official examinations). Students must attend both face-to-face and virtual sessions.
The final grade consists of two parts:
- True/false examination on everything seen during the three teaching blocks. This includes slides, videos, case studies, assigned readings, team building activities and any other material presented in class regardless of methodology. The exam takes place on the last day of class (the date of the exam can only be rearranged for the exceptions listed in relation to the minimum attendance requirements at the beginning of this section) (50%). The exam is to be taken face-to-face or virtually, depending on the prevailing health situation.
- The development of a blog in groups of up to five people in which the students’ learning journey is recorded, including what has been studied in the three teaching blocks. This assessment is transversal as regards the subjects dealt with in the three main teaching blocks. Wordpress.com, B.com, Blogger.com, Wix.com or any other blog builder can be used (50%)
Marking criteria
- Blog design and structure 30%
- Creativity 20%
- Contribution made by students’ own personal reflections 30%
- Methodologies (use of music, images, videos, etc.) 20%
To pass, students must obtain a minimum of 5 out of 10.
The two assessment tests (exam and presentation of the blog in groups) are held on the last day of class.
Distinctions
Article 16.9 of the regulations indicates that distinctions may be awarded to students obtaining a grade of 9 or more, albeit at the discretion of the teachers.
Given the characteristics of the course, neither single assessment or resits are possible in this subject.
