Assessment

Assessment is continuous. Students must provide evidence of their progress by completing tasks and tests. Task deadlines will be indicated in the course schedule on the first day of class.

Related matters

All information on assessment, assessment activities and their weighting is merely a guide. The subject's lecturer will provide full information when teaching begins. The subject’s pass mark is 5.

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.

The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities.

Failed activities will be retaken in the form of a single activity. In the case of retaking or compensating for assessment activities, the highest mark that can be obtained is 5. The group presentation activity may not be repeated or compensated for.

Classification as "not assessable"

In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just25% 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 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.

Some aspects that it is necessary to take into account on the evaluation during the course:

• It is compulsory to hand in all course tasks zipped and correctly identified as per the lecturer’s instructions, otherwise they will not be corrected and will receive a mark of 0.
• All tasks must be submitted via the platform specified by the lecturer.
• Tasks and exercises submitted after deadlines will not be accepted.
• The spelling and grammar checker must be used for all submitted tasks. Each spelling or grammar mistake will result in a reduction of 0.5 in an activity’s mark. Any activity containing 10 or more such mistakes will receive a mark of 0.
• It is each student’s responsibility to follow the course’s sessions and meet deadlines. All the relevant information is included in the schedule presented by the lecturer at the beginning of the course.
