Assessment

In addition to the following criteria, the “2022-23 Assessment Guidelines of the Psychology Faculty” must be taken into account, available at https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/avaluacions-1345722525858.html

Learning Assessments and Grade of Continuous Assessment

Two partial exams will be undertaken, each worth 30% of the final grade. The grades obtained in the four activity reports related to the seminars are added, each of them will count 10% of the final grade.

To pass the subject, the average of marks of the two partial exams sum (assessments 1 and 6) must be equal or superior to 5 (in a scale from 0 to 10). 

In total, the students are offered 6 learning assessments, which comprise a total of 10 points:

1. Assessment 1: Written test of first part of the subjecte: 3 points
2. Assessment 2: Written report (group format) of activities related to seminar 1: 1.5 points
3. Assessment 3: Written report (group format) of activities related to seminar 2: 0.5 points
4. Assessment 4: Written report (group format) of activities related to seminar 4: 1.5 points
5. Assessment 5: Written report (group format) of activities related to seminar 5: 0.5 points
6. Assessment 6: Written test of second part of the subjecte: 3 points

N.B. Seminar 3 ("Mindfulness") has no associated evidence (it will not be assessed).

Ev3 and Ev5 reports are delivered/presented in the same session of the seminar (approximately between weeks 5-7 and 10-12 of the course, respectively). Ev2 and Ev4 reports are delivered via Moodle (approximately between weeks 6-8 and 12-14, respectively).

Given that an important part of the tasks to be assessed is carried out during the seminars and out of respect for the rest of the group, arriving late for the seminars will be penalised. Thus, arriving 30 minutes or more late without presenting justification for work, health or legal issues will imply a 20% penalty in the grade corresponding to that activity. Attendance at the seminar is compulsory if you wish to be assessed for that particular piece of evidence. Students will have to do the tasks with peers from the same seminar group.

All submitted works will be checked using the anti-plagiarism software Urkund. If a percentage of plagiarism higher than 30% is detected, it may led to fail that specific evidence.

Assessments 1 and 6 are face-to-face written tests (multiple choice test). EV1: During the first continuous assessment period. EV6: During the second continuous assessment period.

The final grade is the sum of the evidences. No additional tests are undertaken to improve the grades obtained inthe four assessment reports related to seminars.

The subject is deemed passed if 5 or more points are obtained in the sum of the 6 evidences, as long as 3 points or more have been obtained in the sum of assessments 1 and 6. Not meeting these criteria means that a maximum grade of 4.5 marks (range 0-10) can be recorded on the student’s academic transcript.

Students who have given evidences of learning with a weighting equal to or greater than 40% cannot be deemed "non-evaluable" on the official course-grade roster (“acta”).

Resit

All the following criteria must be met in order to take resit:

a) Having obtained between 3.5 and less than 5 points in the continuous assessment.

b) The weight of the assessment which the person has submitted during the course must be 66.7% or more.

Characteristics of the resit test:

It will consist of retaking the Ev1 and / or Ev6 assessments, with the same characteristics and correction criteria as in the first time.

Assessments Ev2, Ev3, Ev4 and Ev5 cannot be re-assessed, because it is not possible to repeat the seminars (so, the same grades will be added to the final grade).

The resit exam will be made in the period assigned for the re-assessment, the day and time being determined by the Faculty.

No unique final synthesis test for students who enroll for the second time or more is anticipated.

Grade review process. After all grading activities have ended, students will be informed of the date and way in which the course grades will be published. Students will be also be informed of the procedure, place, date and time of grade review in line with University regulations.

N.B. Except for exceptional situations, and only if previously agreed with a student, one week before the assessments, and untilthe end of the ordinary review, "content" questions willnot be answered by email or Moodle. Students must attend teachers office hours.
