Assessment
The evaluation of the subject is based on:
- On-site examination of theoretical content
- Practices and reports prepared during the course
- Public presentation in the classroom of the assignment or commissions that are made during the course (group 1) or virtual (group 70)
- Field exit
All the evaluable activities can be recovery, except for presentations made in the classroom, which can not be done outside the initial order, and the field trip, which for obvious reasons only takes place on the day it is scheduled .
To pass the subject, it is necessary to have a minimum mark of 3.5 in each of the three activities evaluated, regardless of the weight they have in the final note, and have been inexcusably assisted at the field exit.
The qualification of Not evaluable will be obtained if no activity has been delivered or only the first activity has been delivered. Therefore, having given two or more activities implies that the course has been followed and the qualification to be obtained will be that of approved (10-5) or the one of suspension (4.9-0).
Finally, the student will have to keep in mind the three face-to-face activities of compulsory attendance, without which the final evaluation of the subject will not be possible:
On-site meeting, on the date set by the faculty (group 70) or attendance at the theoretical sessions (group 1)
Field exit
Evaluation and in your case also re-evaluation
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.
The copying or plagiarism of material, both in the case of works andin the case of examinations, constitute a crime that will be sanctioned with a zero to the activity. In the case of recidivism, the entire subject will be suspended. Let's remember that a "copy" is considered a work that reproduces all or most of the work of one or more partners. "Plagiarism" is the fact of presenting all or part of a text of an author as its own, without mentioning the sources, being in paper format in digital format. See UAB documentation on "plagiarism" at: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html
