Observations:
- Recovery: Students who have not passed or have not attended to some of the tests will have to recover the suspended part in the recovery. The recovery is exclusively for the suspended or not attended students. In no case may be raised as a means of improving the qualification of the student who has already passed. Suspended students who are not attent to the recovery will have a "non-evaluable" in the final grade; the one that suspends the recovery will have "suspense".
- Plagiarism: 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 thisactivity, 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.
- Virtual teaching: 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.
