Assessment
Procedure for reviewing grades awarded: On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
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.
Special cases: French-speaker students must meet the same conditions of assessment than the rest of students. Responsibility for the follow-up of training and assessment activities falls exclusively on the student.
"No avaluable": A final mark of "No avaluable" can only be obtained if the student has completed a maximum of 40% of the course assessment.
Reassessment: Only students who have passed at least 66% of the course evaluation are eligible for reassessment. Reassessment consists of a final oral and/or written exam. The assignments and homework exercises are excluded from reassessment.
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 or equivalent, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
