Lectures with large groups will be mainly theoretical; nonetheless, students will be encouraged to participate.

Lectures with small groups will consist of practicing the previously taught theoretical topics (during frontal lectures). The aim of these training classes is that students learn the correct handling and administration of specific the tests and assessment tools presented during frontal lectures. 

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

The different activities will be evaluated in different manners. The specific evaluation criteria, separately for each activity, are explained in this section (face-to-face modality):

1) S1 (attendance and participation: 5% of the final grade): Attendance and participation in class will be evaluated by teaching staff´s observation and monitoring reports of the participations in the different activities proposed. The aim of S1 is to evaluate the learning outcome R03.

2) S2 (theory: 70% of the final grade): To successfully complete the course, it is required to take and pass the exam which includes the theoretical contents of the main topics. At least 3.5 points out of 7 points need to be reached in order to obtain a positive result in this exam. The exam consists of Multiple-Choice, and/or short answer questions. Once the exam is passed, the obtained grade will be added to the grades obtained in section S1 and/or S3. The aim of S2 is to evaluate the learning outcomes R03, R08, Ro9, and R013.

3) S3 (practice and training: 25% of the final grade):

Students get between 0 and 1.5 points for the completion of written reports based on the practice or training sessions. Students who conduct the self-training activity based on the learned concepts in unit 1 or unit 2 can get between 0 and 1 points. These points will be added to the final grade. The aim of S3 is to evaluate the learning outcomes R03, R04, Ro11, R012 and R013.

In Ordinary Call 2, students have to take advantage of the different activities (S1, S2, S3) described above in order to pass the course.

In the Extraordinary Call 2, the grades obtained (in theAcademic year) for activities S1 and/or S3 will be maintained. Therefore, student who got a positive result for S1 and/or S3 will only have to attend and pass the exam based on the theoretical contents. Students who have not completed activities S1 and / or S3 will be able to obtain the highest grade by taking the exam based on these activities, as it includes all relevant questions (and therefore all relevant information and contents), which are needed to achieve the highest grade.

In the Ordinary Call 1, the grades obtained for the activities S1 and/or S3 in other academic courses will be maintained, only if the teachers consider those activities as equivalent or comparable in terms of theoretical contents and practice sessions to S1 and/or S3 in the current Academic year. Further, students have to be able to show a positive result of the activities S1 and/or S3 gained in the other academic course. Students who have not completed activities S1 and / or S3 will be able to obtain the highest grade by taking the exam based on these activities, as it includes all relevant questions (and therefore all relevant information and contents), which are needed to achieve the highest grade.

With a voluntary participation in empirical-research studies, which are managed and conducted by the teaching staff, students have the possibility to receive extra bonus points. A maximum of 0.5 extra bonus points can be obtained and these will be added to the final grade. Students who do not want to voluntarily participate in these studies have the possibility to receive extra bonus points by writing a summary of a book or a scientific article, which match in content with the main topic. These documents (book, scientific article) will be chosen by the teaching staff. The extra bonus point can not be used to pass the course.
