Assessment

The score marks of assignments assessed and final exam will require achieving a sufficient skill level, according to the expected learning outcomes, described in this teaching guide.

The assessment system will be divided into three modules:

1) Written tests on the theoretical contents of the subject.

2) Submission of individual assignments.

3) Public presentations and text debates in virtual classroom.

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.

NOT ASSESSABLE: It will be accounted 'not assessable' when the student has completed less than 30% of the work assigned per course, as less than 30% of the tests. Therefore, the student will only be evaluated when doing more than 30% of each part.

Make-up process: To participate in make-up work and/or exams, the student must have been previously assessed on a set of activities weighing at least 2/3 on the overall grade. Students with an average grade equal or higher than 3.5 will have access to make-up exam.

PLAGIARISM: 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: Studentswith prior training in Galician language, literature and/or culture will have to fulfil the same evaluation criteria as regular students, even when considered as exempt from attending class. The responsibility for the monitoring and the assessment of training activities lies exclusively with the student.
