Assessment

All information on assessment, assessment activities and their weighting is merely a guide. The subject's lecturer will provide full information when teaching begins.

Assessment activity dates will be indicated by the lecturer in the first week. This information also will be on the Virtual Campus.

Students must attend assessment activities (on the date and at the time established). The subject's lecturer must be notified of any absences from assessment activities in advance, via email. In the case of a health problem, an official medical certificate must be provided. Any absence from assessment activities must be justified by means of official documents.

The subject's lecturer will evaluate any exceptional cases or circumstances personally.

Following the subject and contacting it lecturer are solely the responsibility of each student.

The subject's schedule may vary depending on the group's pace of work and needs. The lecturer reserve the right to make any modifications she consider appropriate.

Review

When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.

Missed/failed assessment activities

Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. Students may only retake assessment activities they have failed or for which they have not presented evidence of evaluation. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to coveranumber of such activities.

In the case of an assessment activity being retaken or compensated for, the highest mark that can be obtained for the subject is 5.

The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts.

Classification as "not assessable"

In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.

Misconduct in assessment activities

Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of "0" for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the students involved will be given a final mark of "0" for the subject.

Students may not retake assessment activities in which they are found to have engaged in misconduct.

Plagiarism is considered to mean presenting all or part of an author's work, whether published in print or in 5 Plagiarism is considered to mean presenting all or part of an author's work, whether published in print or in digital format, as one's own, i.e. without citing it. Copying is considered to mean reproducing all or a substantial part of another student's work. In cases of copying in which it is impossible to determine which of two students has copied the work of the other, both will be penalised.
