Assessment

In order to pass this subject, students must obtain an overall grade equal to or greater than 5, this grade resulting from the calculation of the grades obtained from the four learning evidences (the sum of the grades proportional to the percentages indicated for each learning evidence). Students obtaining a global average grade of less than 5 will be deemed to have failed the subject.

The evaluation model will be continued. The teaching staff will value the participation, the group work, individual work and the individual test. Materials with improvement proposals will be returned corrected.

Conditions to be evaluated: Participate actively in the classes, as well as deliver and pass with an average final grade higher than 5 points the individual and group work.

It will be considered "Not assessable" when a person presents less than 2 evidence of learning, otherwise, the grade resulting from the proportional computation of the number of evidence of learning presented will be indicated.

In order to opt for re-assessment, students must have obtained a final overall grade of between 3.5 and 4.9 in this phase. In the re-assessment phase, students may have those evidences re-assessed that have previously been assessed as insufficient; these will be analogous to those submitted during the continuous assessment process. The maximum grade that can be obtained from this re-assessment is 5.

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.

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 begiven 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.

Plagiarism or copying: if this is detected in any of the work submitted, the assessment grade for that work will be 0. If this occurs more than once, the subject as a whole will be awarded a Fail grade.
