To pass the course, a minimum average grade of 5 must be obtained.
In this note, the average mark of the controls (written and individual) will be considered if it is equal or higher than 4 (to be considered for the final average mark of the exams, the minimum mark of each control must be 4). Two controls will be made; the final one will take place the 14th of June of 2023. On the 28th of June, there will be a recovery control for the students who have suspended or have not submitted to one of the two controls.
For the compendium of the activities done, only the evidence presented during the period indicated by the professor will be considered. For this evidences no recovery is possible.
To pass this subject, the student must show good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or languages detailed in the teaching guide (very important: classes will be in Catalan, although exams and tasks are accepted both in Catalan and Spanish). In all the activities (individual and in group) will take into account, therefore, the linguistic correction, the writing and the formal appearances of presentation. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of comprehension of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that he / she does not meet these requirements.
Class attendance is mandatory: the student must attend at least 80% of classes (both theory and seminars), otherwise it will be considered as “absent”. The same qualification will be obtained if the student does not perform any of the two partial examinations.
Obtained scores will be published in a period with a maximum limit of three weeks, at the same time scores will be published a period of ten days for revision will start.
The activities in the classroom will be given throughout the semester and will be returned in a period not exceeding 1 month. Tasks will be preferentially delivered by using the online mechanism of the Virtual Campus, but in the case of seminars deliveries at the end of the session will also be required.
During the evaluation of controls, the copy will result in the qualification of a zero in the activity. In the case of recidivism, the whole course will be considered as failed.
During the evaluation of the autonomous activities, the copying or plagiarism of material constitutes a serious infraction, that will result in a qualification of zero. In case of recidivism, the whole course will be considered as failed.
