Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Document analysis The students, with assistance from the teachers, will learn to manage databases of criminal caselaw and to carry out critical analysis of the various judicial decisions taken on our subjects.
Collaborative learning The students will work on different topics in groups, and should show themselves to be active and cooperative with the other members of their group.
Directed discussion In the practical classes, the teachers will organise discussions on the essential topics of the subject, in which the students should adopt a critical and reasoned position.
Introductory activities In the practical classes, the teachers will organise simulated trials, to be held in the Law Faculty’s courtroom. In these simulated trials the students will adopt the roles of the prosecutor or the defence in the simulation of the criminal process.
Events academic / information Throughout the course, various workshops, conferences and seminars will be held on topics relevant to the students, thereby supplementing their training.
Workbook The topics in question will be carefully selected by the teachers and the students will have the option of choosing from among the list proposed.
Objective test Posing questions about the topics included in the subject programme. The questions can be both theoretical and practical.
Field trip Visits will be organised to the various courts of the city, so the students can see the development of judicial practice in situ.
Guest lecture / keynote speech The teaching staff will give lectures to introduce the students to the basic aspects of each topic. To support their explanations, the teachers may provide materials (judgements, extracts from doctrinal works...), notes or a schema-guide with the key points of the development of their explanation. In all cases, the teachers’ explanation will be supplemented by the students both with the materials that have been provided for the purpose, and by consulting the manuals listed in the bibliography.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Directed discussion
Introductory activities
Description
Personalised attention to students will not be linked to just one methodology, but will be constant. In this regard, both the content of the theory classes and the personal study of the students or any of the activities that make up the course will include the possibility of tutoring by the teachers, so that students can raise any queries or difficulties they may have and teachers can adjust the methodologies to suit the specific needs of each person. To this end, the students will be able to count on personalised attention (always, of course, in an organised manner) both in teaching hours and in the tutoring timetables.

Assessment comments

The students’ final grade will be calculated as follows: 70% of the grade will come from the result of an objective theory or theory-practical test; this objective test will be worth 7 points, and it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 3 points in order to add the grade achieved to the other activities carried out during the term. The remaining 30% will come from the various activities carried out throughout the course (practical cases, theory-practical tests, etc.). If a student does not pass the May-June test (1st opportunity), in July (2nd opportunity) only the objective test will be repeated, retaining the score achieved in the activities carried out throughout the course. It must be noted that the grade assigned to the different methodologies in the other activities carried out during the term aside from the objective test, should be understood to be a mere guideline, so if one of the results is not used during the course, the corresponding score will be added to those that are used.  Therefore, the dates set for each test and their marks will be observed (70% of the grade will come from the the result of a theory or theory-practical test. This objective test will be worth 7 points, and it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 3,5 points in order to add the grade achieved to the other activities carried out during the term. The remaining 30% will come from the various activities carried out throughout the course (practical cases, theory-practical tests, etc.). Students enrolled part-time with a waiver will be assessed in the same way as students enrolled full-time.
