Assessment
To get a PASS mark in this module, students must meet the following requirements:
1) Obtain a PASS mark in French. This means they need to use French efficiently, fluently and accurately (phonetics, grammar, lexicon, spelling, textual organization, etc.). Minimum level required: C2.1 of the CEFR.
2) Attend and participate actively in a minimum of 80% of the face-to-face sessions, including conferences and workshops common to all groups.
3) Pass the assessment tasks set for each of the blocks in this module.
4) Get a PASS mark in the three blocks of content that compose this module.
Students who have failed any of the blocks with a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10 sit an exam or hand-in a new assignment. This process will be planned with a minimum margin of two weeks after the students are informed about their FAIL mark.
To solve doubts regarding the evaluation process, please consult the following documents:

2) http://www.uab.cat/web/informacio-academica/avaluacio/normativa-1292571269103.html
The final grade will be obtained from the weighted average of the final grade obtained in each content block: block 1 (44.5%); block 2written tasks (30%); block 2 Oral tasks (30%). On the first day of class, teachers will present the tasks and the evaluation criteria in their program. They will also advertise the dates in which the various evaluation tasks should be delivered.
Copying and plagiarism is penalized. Student will obtain a FAIL in their evaluation task and will not be allowed to submit it again. To solve doubts about how to avoid plagiarism, please consult the following document:
http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html
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.
Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVID-19 (Entenc que en el vostre cas ha de sortir en francès).
