Official assessment of learning outcomes

 

Students obtaining a final grade of 9 or more, may, at the discretion of the faculty, be awarded a ’matrķcula 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).

Assessment of the internship comprises two elements. The first refers to the process of incorporation in the internship centre, the development of the tasks agreed to in the working plan, the monitoring conducted in the tutorials (both in the centre and faculty), and other academic activities (seminars, conferences, presentations) organized by MIPE. The second refers to the writing of an internship report, which describes, justifies and explains both the tasks carried out and the learning achieved. Assessment of the internship is carried out by the academic tutor, taking into account the assessment made by the tutor at the internship centre of the student’s performance and quality of work produced. To obtain the highest grade (Excellent), students must have participated in at least two training activities (seminar, workshop or conference) organized by MIPE or DIPE during the semester in which the internship was completed or in previous semesters.

Assessment of the research internship comprises two elements. The first refers to the process of incorporation in the research group, the development of the research tasks agreed to in the working plan and the monitoring conducted in the tutorials and other academic activities organized by MIPE. The second refers to the writing of an internship report, which describes, justifies and explains both the tasks carried out and the learning achieved. Assessment of the internship is carried out by the student’s academic tutor on a scale from 0 to 10.
