expression.
2) In order to pass the final exam, each part of the final exam must be passed separately.
3) You must pass the final exam with a minimum score of 5 out of 10.
4) The subject is passed with a score of 5 out of 10 to the final grade, composed by the sum of the grades of
the final exam and the continuous assessment.
5) Reassessment is only for students who have passed at least 60% of the tasks and have obtained a minimum
score of 3.5 out of 10 in the final exam and the continuous assessment.
6) The recovery thus consists of the suspended parts up to a maximum of 40% of the tasks of the continuous
evaluation and the final exam.
7) Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted all the
assessment items.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online formatmade 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.
Score review process
On carrying out each assessment activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be
followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

PLAGIARISM

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.
