Assessment
The evaluation is continuous. Throughout the course, students must submit a minimum of 7 translation exercises or additional assignments that teachers decide on the texts of the dossier on dates that will be indicated in due course and that will constitute 40% of the final grade. Another 40% will come from an extensive tutored translation exercise. The remaining 20% will come from the tests performed in class.
The information about the evaluation, the type of evaluation activity and its weight on the subject is for information. The teachers responsible for the subject will specify it when they start teaching.
Review
At the time of giving the final grade prior to the minutes, the faculty will communicate in writing a date and time of review. The review of the various evaluation activities will be agreed between the teachers and the students.
Recovery
Students who have taken part in activities whose weight is equivalent to 66.6% (two thirds) or more of the final grade and who have obtained a weighted average grade of 3.5 or more will be able to access the recovery. . In no case may a re-evaluation activity be carried out for the value of 100% of the final grade. The maximum final grade that students can obtain in the recovery is a 5.
At the time of giving the final grade prior to the minutes of the course, the faculty will communicate in writing the recovery procedure. Teachers can propose a recovery activity for each suspended or not presented activity or they can group different activities.
Consideration of "not evaluable"
A “non-evaluable” will be assigned when the evaluation evidence provided by the student equals a maximum of a quarter of the total grade for the course.
Irregularities in evaluation activities
In the event of irregularity (plagiarism, copying, identity theft, etc.) in an evaluation activity, the rating of this evaluation activity will be 0. In the event of irregularities invarious evaluation activities, the final grade of the subjects will be 0.
Evaluation activities in which irregularities have occurred (such as plagiarism, copying, identity theft) are excluded from recovery.
