The professor of the subject will establish minimum requirements on the basis of which students will be able to pass it.
To pass the subject all the activities must be done and delivered within the due deadline. The minimum admission grade required to pass each of the practical tests, considering it on the average, must be equal to or greater than 3,5 points.
The student who does not perform any of the activities or tests will be considered "Not evaluated".
The preparation of an activity implies the will of the students to be evaluated in the subject and, therefore, them taking part in the evaluation.
Students may apply for re-evaluation only in the case they have suspended or realized activities whose percentage does not exceed 40% of the total evaluation. In no case may the final work in the re-evaluation be repeated.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
