Assessment

A continuous evaluation that evaluates the individual progression of each student is required.

A minimum of three evaluation activities of two different types are planned, distributed throughout the course. No evaluation activity may represent more than 40% of the final grade.

There will be at least one individual work done outside the classroom, it will be part of the final grade of the semester/course, to be communicated by the teacher or teachers responsible for each group within the subject. Its value within the overall score will depend on the difficulty of the same and the criterion of the teacher/teachers.

At the beginning of the course students will be informed more specifically about this or other work (individual or in team) that will be part of the final grade.

At the end of each semester there will be a 90-minute exam, about all the contents that have been taught during the semester in the respective groups. The exam will consist of sections of grammar, as well as comprehension and writing.

- The evaluable tests could be:

- Oral expression test (30%)

- Written expression test (30%)

- Final written examination (40%)

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.

 Review

Prior to formally entering final marks, the teacher will communicate the date/time for assessment revision. The teacher and student will agree on the day/time to revise any of the assessed course activities.

Missed/failed assessments activities

Students who have submitted evaluation activities whoseweight amounts to at least 66.6% (two thirds) or more of the final grade and who have obtained a weighted grade of 3.5 or more will have the right to be re-evaluated.

At the time of giving the final grade, before publishing the acts, the teacher will communicate in writing a date and time of re-evaluation. The teacher can both propose a re-evaluation activity for each activity suspended or not submitted or gather various activities.

- In nocase may a grade be re-evaluated by means of a final test equivalent to 100% of the grade.

- In case of re-evaluation, the maximum grade that the student can obtain will be 5.

Classification as “not assessable”

A "Not-evaluable" will be assigned when the evaluation evidence provided by the student equals a maximum of one quarter of the total grade of the subject.

Misconduct in assessment activities

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.

Evaluation activities in which irregularities have occurred (such as plagiarism, copying, identity theft) are excluded from re-evaluation.

Note: The information concerning student evaluation, the type of evaluation activities and their relative weighting in the final mark is a general orientation only. This information will be specified at the beginning of the course by the professor responsible for the subject.
