Assessment

There are two assessment modalities, continuous assessment and single assessment.

Continuous assessment. There will be three types of evaluation activities: a synthesis test, a group work related to a deductive games workshop held during practical classes, and continuous evaluation of weekly assignments.

The synthesis test will account for 50% of the grade; the group work for 20%, and the continuous evaluation of weekly assignments for 30%. The synthesis test will be held on December 18, 2023, and the deadline for the group work submission will be January 8, 2024. In order to be evaluated under the continuous assessment modality, a minimum of 8 assignments must be submitted, and the synthesis test must be taken. Please note that if you choose the continuous assessment modality and fail to submit the required assignments, you will not be evaluated for the subject. The assignments are not recoverable and must be completed and submitted on the same day as the class.

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.

To be eligible for the recovery assessment, a minimum grade of 3.5 must be obtained in the sum of the 3 parts, and attendance to 2/3 of the evaluation tests is required (taking the synthesis test is therefore essential to be eligible for recovery).

Single assessment. To opt for the single assessment, it will be necessary to fill out an official application, indicating between September 18, 2023, and October 6, 2023. After this date, the single assessment modality will no longer be available. The content to be examined will be chapters 1-30 of the book (For all x. See bibliography). This book includes self-learning material that can be worked on throughout the course with the help of tutorials provided by the course instructors. The single assessment will consist of a final exam (70%) and practical assignments that must be completed and orally defended (30%), meaning that the instructor will ask questions about their content. To be eligible for recovery, both assessment components must be completed.

The instructors will inform the students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for reviewing the grades of all evaluation activities.

In case a student engages in any irregularities that may significantly affect the grade of an assessment activity, that assessment activity will be graded with 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may follow. If multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.

The student will receive a grade of "Not Evaluable" if they have not submitted more than 1/3 of the evaluation activities.

Note: 15 minutes of a class, within the calendar established by the institution/program, will be reserved for students to complete evaluation surveys regarding the faculty's performance and the evaluation of the subject/module.
