Assessment

Evidence 1. Individual work on an aspect of 16th century Italian art, which the students produce on their own outside the classroom. The theme is the same for the whole group and is understood as an initiation to research (maximum extension, five pages). Depending on the academic year, it can be a catalogue sheet, a comment on a virtual website, a written reflection on a question raised by the teacher, etc. Specific evaluation criteria shall take into account bibliographic research, originality in the choice of subject matter where applicable, rigour and creativity in the drafting of the text (a critical apparatus is required in the form of footnotes or similar, the consultation of various scientific articles on the subject and the knowledge of the basic bibliography), the capacity for critical analysis and synthesis, the expository clarity. Evidence 2. Teamwork (consisting of three persons, except in exceptional cases) on a topic chosen at random from a list previously drawn up by the teacher (maximum length, about twenty pages), always on issues or phenomena typical of 16th century Italian art. In addition to the evaluation criteria described for individual work, the ability to work as a team will be assessed in this case. In addition, the formal presentation of the work (syntax, spelling, appendix of images) will be taken into account. It is mandatory to deliver the paper in print and digital format (PDF on CD or pendrive). Evidence 3. Oral presentation of the Teamwork. The presentation is done in the classroom, for approximately 10/15 minutes, with PowerPoint support. In this case, the main value is placed on the capacity for synthesis, the order and clarity of the exhibition, the selection of images and the oratory skills. Evidence 4. Written test of the curriculum developed in the classroom. Positive evaluation: the domain of the subject, the knowledge of the basic bibliography, the adequacy to the statement, the precision of the data and the correct structuring of the ideas, both personal and external. As for the score, the average of the works weighs 40%; the written test, the compulsory readings and the participation in the classroom, 50%; the oral exposition of the group work, 10%, taking into account that this evidence never drops, but always raises it or, at worst, keeps it unchanged, as it is considered a first step in learning oral communication in public. Pupils shall be informed of their qualifications and of the procedure and date of the corresponding reviews. As is mandatory, there is the possibility of reassessment of all the evidence, except that of the oral exposure of the group work, since it is never evaluated in a negative way as has already been said. In order to obtain a reassessment, it is essential to have been evaluated in all the other evidence and, in particular, in the Written test and the Individual Work, that is, at least 2/3 parts of the final rating. 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 acess these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
