Assessment
This subject/module does not incorporate single assessment.
ORDINARY EVALUATION
The assessment of this subject will be based on the assessment activities listed in the table below. It is very important for the student to bear in mind that the assessment also includes regular attendance in class and the completion and assessment of the exercises, translations and various questions proposed in class and on the moodle platform within the deadlines set by the teacher, for in order to demonstrate the understanding and application of the contents explained in class. To this end, periodic checks of the work will be carried out which will consist of the delivery of activities through the moodle platform. The activities will not be corrected in face-to-face classes: each student will have to do their own correction with the correction sheets enabled for that purpose. If there are still doubts after the self-correction, they can be raised in class or in office consultations.
Students who fail part 1 can make it up if they pass part 2. If they fail part 2, they will have to make it up even if the course average is passed. The oral/virtual tests and the reading control will have to be retaken if the grade is lower than 4 even if the course average is passed.
A student who has not appeared for any assessment activity in only one assessment activity will have a 'Not Assessable'.
In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
If the tests cannot be taken in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools. Homework, activities and class participation will be done through forums, wikis and/or exercise discussions through Teams, etc. The teacher will ensure that the student can access it or will offer him or her alternative means, which are within their reach.
REASSESSMENT
It is an essential requirement to get a minimum grade of 5 in each of the exams to pass the subject by ordinary assessment. In case of not reaching this mark, the student will have to take the reassessment exam of the part that is suspended.
Only students who have taken at least three of the four assessment activities listed in the table below and have an average above 3.5 may be re-evaluated.
In the reassessment, the suspended part will be recovered and will consist, depending on each case, of:
1. Written language test.
2. Oral test.
3. Reading control.
All students who do not obtain an average grade of 5 in the two language sections will have to take the written language test.
The mark obtained in the re-evaluation will replace the ordinary evaluation in each of its parts. In the event that the re-evaluation grade is lower than the evaluation grade, the evaluation grade will be maintained.
The reassessment will be considered approved if the weighted average is equal to or higher than 5 points and the grades for each of the reassessment activities have been passed with a minimum of 4 points.
