Activitats d'avaluació:

For the grading of the evaluation activities, the following criteria will be especially valued:

· The adequacy of the discourse to the issues raised and the complete, clear and understandable resolution of all of them.

· The clarity of the arguments, the internal coherence of the discourse and the capacity for legal reasoning.

· Knowledge of the subject and the correct application of the contents worked on in the subject.

· The quality of the writing, the appropriate use of legal language and spelling and typographic correction.

· Strict respect for the assigned extension and any other formal or methodological indication provided by the teaching staff.

· The appropriate use of complementary sources of knowledge.

· The citation of the sources used in a systematic, orderly manner and in accordance with the criteria indicated by the teaching staff.

In order for the grades corresponding to the practical activities to be added, it will be necessary to obtain at least a grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 in the overall exam.

In accordance with the academic regulations of the UdG, any situation of copying, plagiarism or fraudulent activity in an evaluation activity will lead to a grade of 0 in the affected activity. Fraudulent activities may lead to the initiation of the corresponding file with respect to all the students involved, regardless of the role they have had in the facts.

In the event that the teaching staff has reasonable doubts about the authorship, personal preparation or legality of an activity delivered, they may require the student to prove that the work has been prepared in a lawful and personal manner. To this end, the teaching staff may summon the student to a tutorial, oral defense, explanation of the preparation process or complementary verification.


Use of artificial intelligence tools:

The use of artificial intelligence tools in the assessable activities of the subject will only be admitted when the teaching staff expressly authorises it and in the terms indicated for each specific activity. In these cases, the student must clearly and transparently identify the use they have made of it, in accordance with the instructions provided by the teaching staff.

When the use of artificial intelligence tools is not authorised, or when they are used undeclared, inappropriate or contrary to the instructions of the activity, this behaviour may lead to a grade of 0 in the activity concerned, in accordance with current academic regulations.

In the event that the teaching staff has reasonable doubts about the authorship, personal elaboration or degree of knowledge of an activity delivered, they may require them to make an oral defense, an explanation of the preparation process or a complementary verification. If this verification shows that the student cannot sufficiently accredit the authorship, personal elaboration or knowledge of the content presented, the activity may be graded with a 0.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
Failure to attend an assessable activity without just cause will automatically result in a grade of 0 in that activity. This circumstance will not entitle you to a recovery test or any other compensation measure.

In the event that an activity takes place over several dates, the attendance and participation of the student in all of them will be mandatory.

The final test can be retaken on the date officially scheduled for the recovery.

If a student enters the classroom on the day of an assessable activity, they will be considered presented and must submit the test before leaving, even if it is blank.

Avaluació única:
The single assessment will consist of a single final exam, which will have a value of 100% of the subject's grade. The professors will determine the type of exam and, where appropriate, the date and time of the exam. The exam must be taken in the group in which the student is enrolled and on the date and time assigned. Unofficially authorized group changes will not be accepted.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
To consider the subject passed, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum average grade of 5.0 points out of 10 and, in any case, a minimum grade of 5.0 points out of 10 in the final test.

The tutorials will be held within the established hours of attention to the student. As far as possible, doubts will be resolved during face-to-face classes, given the eminently participatory nature of the subject.

Communication between students and teachers must be channelled through the channels established for each subject, which will be indicated by the teacher at the beginning of the course.

In general, the main communication will be carried out during face-to-face classes, given the participatory nature of the subject. Whenever possible, doubts will be raised and resolved in class or during the tutorial schedule.

Teachers will not be obliged to respond by email to queries related to information that is already available in Moodle, in the subject program or that has been explained in class. Queries made by email will be answered during working hours and will not be answered during weekends or holidays.

The teaching staff will assess, in each case, the need, relevance and urgency of responding to the emails received, especially when the question raised cannot be adequately resolved in class or in tutoring.

In the case of subjects taught by more than one lecturer, only emails addressed to all the teaching staff responsible for the subject will be answered.

Students must maintain a respectful attitude towards the teaching staff and the rest of the participants at all times. Any behavior that alters the normal development of the class, hinders the participation of the group or implies a lack of respect may lead to expulsion from the session.

The design of the subject is designed to work on the content face-to-face. Regular class attendance is highly recommended.
