Assessment
In order apply for the passing it is compulsory to have completed all the course readings.
The evaluation of the subject will be based on the following activities (the specific weight of each one of them is indicated in brackets in the final note):
1) Two written tests on the subject taught during the course (35% + 35%).
2) The delivery of a text comment or paper related to the subject that the teacher will suggest on the first day of class (30%).
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.
The review of the tests will be carried out during an interview previously agreed with the teacher.
Students who, once the average of the various tests have been taken, do not obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5, may attend recovery, provided they meet the following requirements:
a) Have submitted to all assessable tests.
b) Have obtained, at least, an average 3.5 in all three tests.
c) Having failed only one of the two evaluable tests [35%]. It will not be considered if monographic work [30%] has been suspended. If the final average mark is between 3.5 and 4.9, but you fail both tests [35% + 35%], you will not be able to appear for recovery.
The result of the recovery test will replace the mark of the failed test to calculate the final mark for the course.
