Assessment and Grading

Assessment activities:

Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
Practical exercices Description of the solution, discussion of the results and conclusions report. 20 No
Practical exercises Description of the solution, discussion of the results and conclusions report. 20 No
Analysis of a research paper Analysis of authors, contents, contributions and impact. Preparation of a presentation. 20 No
Case studies Description of the solution, discussion of the results and conclusions report. 40 Yes

Grading

FM = Final Mark
PE = Practical exercises
AP = Analysis of a research paper
CS = Case studies

FM= 0.4*PE + 0.2*AP + 0.4*CS

For a given category (i.e. PE, or CS), the student will have to present individual reports covering all the contents of the course.
The mark for each category is the mean of the marks of the individual reports.

To pass the course, an overall minimum mark of 5 is needed, and a minimum of 4.0 for each category (PE and CS).

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
Those students that do not hang in the reports for each category in the established delivery time will take a No Show (NP) mark.

Single Assessment:
In case of unique evaluation, the student will be asked to provide a full-assignment of the global course.

Minimum requirements to pass:
To pass the course, an overall minimum mark of 5 is needed.

Mentorship

There will be specified weekly time frames for on-line tutorships (via GoogleMeet or any other platform approved by UdG). Electronic mail can be also used to solve questions or doubts and set tutorship appointments out of the specified times frames.

Communication and interaction with students

Communication with students will be via e-mail and the News forum of the course’s Moodle. Individual on-line meetings will be possible for a personalised monitoring.
