Written test (Exam) will be done during the semester (on the 8th week approx.). 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. The Lecturer will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
The assistance in class is recommended, although it is not mandatory. Nonattendance will not penalize the evaluation. Nevertheless, a continuous and active assistance to the class sessions will be taken into account favorably.
The evaluation takes account the work during the semester, not just the exams. Therefore re-evaluation is considered an exceptional measure and must be agreed with the teacher previously. To be able to take the re-evaluation test, you must have passed at least one of the partial tests written with a grade of 5.5.
To consider the qualification "not evaluable" (previously "not to present"), the student should skip both written tests or leave the course before the second one.
The review of the final grades will be done with the Lecturer, on dates announced in advance preferably into two weeks from the delivery of the grades to the students.
