Assessment and Grading

Assessment activities:

Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
Simulations It will depend on the teacher in charge of the corresponding seminar. 30 No
Case studies It will depend on the teacher in charge of the corresponding seminar. 40 No
Presentation of results It will depend on the teacher in charge of the corresponding seminar. 30 No

Grading

The evaluable activities correspond to: Simulations; Case Studies; Presentation of Results. In any case, these activities will be described in a document and/or presentation by the student (i.e. assignments).

The course is divided into different seminars of different types, each of them conducted by different professors. The final grade will be calculated by taking the average of all the activities weighted according to the number of hours taught for each seminar. For the evaluable tasks corresponding to the same seminar, the average mark associated with that seminar will be calculated first, and this will then be weighted according to the number of hours given for that seminar.

For academic courses with sessions with invited professors, a short exam (type test) can be accounted in the final mark FM. This activity also will be weighted according to the hours taught.

To pass the course, an overall minimum mark of 5 is needed, and a minimum of 4.0 for each activity.

If fraudulent actions are detected in any type of academic activity (use of information without authorization, use of false information, use of unauthorized devices, impersonation, total or partial plagiarism, purchase and sale of tests, practices and assignments, etc) the students involved will automatically fail the subject. Depending on the type of fraudulent activity, the School Management will initiate the appropriate procedures in accordance with Llei 3/2022 de 24 de febrer de Convivència Universitària (https://www.boe.es/eli/es/l/2022/02/24/3).

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

Single Assessment:
The student will be asked to prepare one or variuos project reports on the analysis, modelling and evaluation of results of different Seminar topics covering the main aspects of the course.

Minimum requirements to pass:
The minimum mark to pass the course is 5.0 over 10.

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.
