- The evaluation of the course is understood as a continuous process that extends during the semester and consists in four activities.
- To pass the course, students will need to obtain a minimum score of 5.0 in each of the sections. In addition, all activities must have a minimum score of 4 to be taken into account in the average grade. In the event that this criterion is not reached, the student will need to resit.
- Resitting students may obtain a maximum grade of 7.
- If necessary, documentary justification of attendance can be provided for students participating in classroom activities.
- At the time of each evaluation activity, the professor will inform the students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date of revision of the grades.
- In the event of irregularities in students' behaviour that may lead to a significant variation in the grading of a particular evaluation activity, such activity will be rated 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event that several irregularities occur in the activities of the same subject, their final grade will be 0.
- Students will receive the grade of Non-evaluable whenever they have not submitted more than 30% of the evaluation activities.
- In the event that the evaluation activities cannot be conducted in person, they will be adapted to the possibilities offered by the virtual tools of the UAB. Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and / or discussion of exercises through Teams, ensuring that all students can have access.
