Assessment

ssessment is based on:

• 4 Evaluated items (1 per Unit) = 100% of total course mark
• Item 1 (20%)= critical essay (short stories) 
• Item 2 (30%)= essay/activity (play) 
• Item 3 (30%)= critical essay (novel) 
• Item 4 (20%)= oral presentation (poems) 

Please, note:

• All the subjects in this course follow continuous assessment. There is no final exam.
• All the exercises are COMPULSORY. Undelivered evaluation activities will be equivalent to a 0 for that activity, and therefore, this will negatively affect the average grade of the 4 evaluation elements. 
• The submission of any exercise invalidates the student to get a final mark of "No Avaluable".
• The minimum pass mark for the whole subject is 5.
• The student’s command of English will be taken into account when marking all exercises and for the final mark. It will count as 25% of this mark for all the exercises and will be assessed as follows: Grammar (morphology and syntax): 30%; Vocabulary (accuracy and variety): 15%; Consistency (among sentences and paragraphs): 15%; Organization (sound argumentation of ideas): 20%; Style (expression and register): 15%; Spelling: 5%.
• In the event that classes or any evaluation activities 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.

• Reviewing procedure: Students have a right to review their exercises with the teacher in a personal tutorial. On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle)of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place. The student loses this right if s/he fails to collect the exercise/exam within the period announced by the teacher.

• Re-assessment conditions: Only students who have completed the continuous assessment and passed at least TWO of the exams given throughout the course may take reassessment. Students who are eligible for reassessment have got a final average exam mark between 3,5 and 4,9. If the final average exam mark is lower than 3,5 or they haven't passed at least 2 of the 4 items, the student will have failed the subject.
• The reassessment consists of a two-hour written exam on matters related to the subject. The exam is awarded a Pass/Fail mark and the maximum possible final mark is a 5. 

• Evaluation Activities Excluded from Reassessment: Presentació oral i/o creació de un bloc en grup

• VERY IMPORTANT! Partial or total plagiarising will immediately result in a FAIL(0) for the plagiarised exercise or the WHOLE SUBJECT if plagiarism is repeated. PLAGIARISING consists of copying text from unacknowledged sources –whether this is part of a sentence or a whole text–with the intention of passing it off as the student’s own production. It includes cutting and pasting from internet sources, presented unmodified in the student’s own text. Plagiarising is a SERIOUS OFFENCE. Students must respect authors’ intellectual property, always identifying the sources they may use; they must also be responsible for the originality and authenticity of their own texts.  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.
