Teaching plan for the course unit

(Short version)

Referring to knowledge

Students obtaining a final grade of 9 or more, may, at the discretion of the faculty, be awarded a ’matrícula d’honor’, albeit that no more than 5% of the students enrolled on the course can receive this award.

Student assignments must be original work. Students copying on a test or plagiarising in a written assignment will be deemed to be in breach of the student code and automatically failed (see Article 16.7 and the annex to the Regulations governing the teaching, assessment and grading of learning at the University of Barcelona: http://www.ub.edu/acad/noracad/avaluacio_2020.pdf).

 

Requisites

Class attendance is compulsory. Students must attend at least 75% of the sessions in order to opt for continuous assessment.

 

Activities and criteria

• A team project. Preparation and team presentations of the set readings relating to different aspects of the course are assessed. Weighting: 50% of the overall grade (completing the group assignment is a requirement for passing this subject).
• Completion of an individual study consisting of an essay on a specific part of the curriculum or a personal synthesis of the most relevant ideas presented during the course. The completion of the different group activities and the feedback received on this should ensure students are in a position to write the essay without support. Weighting: 50% of the overall grade (completing the final synthesis is a requirement for passing this subject).

• Pertinence and relevance of the ideas presented
• Integration of course content
• Conceptual rigour
• Use of examples
• Degree of cooperation in solving the task
• Adapting the proposed intervention to real-world situations
• Theoretical justification for the psychoeducational position adopted
• Ethical and formal aspects of academic writing

Examination-based assessment

Requisites
 

In accordance with University regulations, any student can request they be evaluated by single assessment. To do so, they must fill out the "Single assessment request" form, which can be downloaded from the virtual classroom, and submit it no later than twenty calendar days from the start of the course.

 

Activities and criteria

Single assessment comprises a written exam in which students have to answer two questions (from a choice of four) on the module content and solve two practical problems (also from a choice of four). A maximum of 2.5 points are available for each question. To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum score of 5 points.

 

Repeat assessment

Students that fail the single assessment mode of evaluation are entitled to repeat the assessment tasks.

Repeat assessment comprises a written exam covering all course content, both theoretical and practical. Students sit the exam on the date and time set by the MIPE Academic Committee.

The final grade for students sitting the repeat assessment is the grade obtained on this exam and this exam alone.
