1. Two written tests: 30 % of the final grade each.
2. One or two individual essays: 40% of the final grade.
The marks below 3,5 will not add in the calculation of the average. To pass the course a minimum mark 5 will be required. To participate in the re-avaluation process 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.
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.
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.
