Assessment
|
All information on assessment, assessment activities and their weighting is merely a guide. The subject's lecturers will provide full information when teaching begins. At the beginning of the course, the subject's lecturers will inform the students about details of its assessment activities (characteristics, percentages, deadlines, etc.). This information will also be available on the Virtual Campus. Students must attend assessment activities (on the date and at the time established). The lecturers must be notified of any absences from assessment activities in advance, via email. In the case of a health problem, an official medical certificate must be provided. Any absence from assessment activities must be justified by means of official documents. The lecturers will evaluate any exceptional cases or circumstances personally. Following the subject and contacting the lecturers are the responsibility of each student. The subject’s schedule may vary depending on the group’s pace of work and needs. The lecturers reserve the right to make any modifications she considers appropriate. Related matters All information on assessment, assessment activities and their weighting is merely a guide. The subject's lecturer will provide full information when teaching begins. Review When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer. Missed/failed assessment activities Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities, provided that all the relevant learning outcomes are assessed and the same assessment and weighting criteria are used. Classification as "not assessable" In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject'sfinal mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript. Misconduct in assessment activities Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the students involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Students may not retake assessment activities in which they are found to have engaged in misconduct. Plagiarism is considered to mean presenting all or part of an author's work, whether published in print or in digital format, as one's own, i.e. without citing it. Copying is considered to mean reproducing all or a substantial part of another student's work. In cases of copying in which it is impossible to determine which of two students has copied the work of the other, both will be penalised.
