Assessment
Continuous assessment is carried out for this subject and will include both the various tests and the works / exercises / comments delivered throughout the semester and presented orally in class. It will include two exams, one of them partial and one of synthesis.
At the time of carrying out each evaluation activity, the students will be informed of the procedure and date of review of the qualifications.
To participate in the recovery, the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total grade.
Only the students who, having failed, have at least a final average grade of 3.5, are entitled to the re-evaluation. The oral presentations and the tasks related to the daily teaching activity are excluded from the secon exam.
The evaluation will consist of a synthesis exam of the assessing part of the re-evaluation.
The student who has completed less than 2/3 parts of the evaluation activities will be considered as ‘not assessed'.
Plagiarism: The total and partial plagiarism of any of the exercises will automatically be considered a FAILED (0) of the plagiarized exercise. Plagiarism is to copy from unidentified sources, be it a single phrase or more, making it happen by own production (this includes copying phrases or fragments of the Internet and adding them without modifications to the text that is presented as their own), and is a serious offense.
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.
Particular cases: French-speaker students must meet the same assessment conditions as other students. The responsibility of the follow-up of the educational and evaluation activities falls exclusively to the student ".
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 access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
