Assessment
*The subject will be evaluated by applying the following procedures:
- Written tests (2 partial: spaced throughout the course): 65% (30% the first partial and 35% the second one)
- Realization of a job (mandatory to qualify for recovery): 35%
* All the subject matter of the course contained in the explanations in class and, where appropriate, compulsory readings that can be indicated during the course will be evaluated.
* The dates of completion of the tests in the classroom and delivery of work will be communicated to the students at the beginning of the course.
* At the time of completion of each evaluation activity, the faculty will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of review of the grades.
Recovery
- The student who does not participate in evaluation activities for a minimum value of 65% of the continuous assessment grade will be considered as "not evaluable". This amounts to a partial and work.
- Students who have not done compulsory work may not be presented in recovery.
- Only the evaluation activities carried out can be recovered.
- The recovery will consist of a global examination of the subject matter and will be held on the official dates established by the Faculty.
- In no case may recovery be considered as a means of improving the qualification of students who have already passed the subject in the normal process of continuous assessment.
- The maximum note that can be obtained in the recovery is 6.5 (Approved).
Revision
- The students will have the right to review the results of the tests carried out. the teacher will establish a specifi tutoring schedule to proceed with the comment of the evaluation activities carried out
The copy of written sources (internet, books, works, etc.) and presented as original is a 0 in the grade of the exercise or written test. Several irregularities committed will imply a global score of zero.
In the event that tests or exams cannot betaken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (the original weighing will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Instructors 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 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, the student will receive a zero as the final grade for the class.
