Assessment

System of Evaluation

The marks of each assessment activity will be published via campus virtual in the next 20 days after delivering. Students that would like to revise them should do it in the next 15 days after publishing the marks. Students should arrange an appointment with the professor of the course.

The evaluative evidences of the subject are de following:

• Exam (50%). 
• Seminary practices (30%). 
• Practice 1: 5%
• Practice 2: 5%
• Practice 3: 20%
• Group work with oral presentation (20%). 

The seminary practices usually involve the reading of readings and the viewing of documentaries, audio-visual material that will be discussed and worked in small and large group in the seminar.

Attendance

Attendance at theory classes and seminar classes are compulsory. An attendance control will be kept for all sessions. The minimum attendance is 80% in the whole of the subject. If you do not attend a minimum of 80% of the classes, you cannot be evaluated.

Absences can only be justified for reasons of illness or force majeure and for academic reasons previously authorized by the teaching staff.

It is important to remember the regulations of the Degree in relation to punctuality in accessing the classroom.

Requirement to pass

In order to pass the course, it is necessary that each of the evaluation activities obtain a 5. The qualifications of each of the evaluative evidences will be made public in Moodle in the 20 calendar days following its completion. Students who want to review their grade will haveto do so within 15 calendar days after their publication in the tutoring hours that the teaching staff has established for this subject and that are specified in the syllabus.

All evaluable activities will be subject to formal criteria, including spelling, writing and presentation. Regardless of the languageof the group (Catalan, Spanish or English), students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and to read with high degree of comprehension of long texts.

Fraudulent conducts

Copying and plagiarism are intellectual thefts and therefore constitute reprehensible conduct that will be sanctioned with a zero throughout the block where the work is located. In the case of copying between two students, if it is not possible to know who copied from whom, the sanction will be applied to both students.

We want to remember that a work that reproduces all or most of the work of another classmate is considered a "copy". "Plagiarism" is the act of presenting any part of a text by an author as one's own, that is, without citing its sources, whether published on paper or digitally on the Internet. See documentation on plagiarism http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html To pass this subject, the student must show, in the activities proposed, a good general communicative competence, both orally as in writing, and a good command of the vehicular language or languages listed in the teaching guide.

In the event that the presence of copying students is detected during an exam, they will be automatically suspended without the possibility of access to recovery. A student who submits a practice in which there is evidence of plagiarism or who cannot justify the arguments of his practice will get a 0 and receive a warning. In case of repetition of the behaviour, the student will suspend the subject(0) and will lose the right to recovery.

Other important aspects for the evaluation:

No practice beyond the term or form will be accepted, except in situations of force majeure. Students will obtain a 0 in that practice / work without the possibility of recovering it.
