Evaluation rules

• In order to pass the course, a minimum mark of 5.0 will be required as the average mark resulting from the marks obtained in each of the activities.
• Once the course has been passed, it cannot be subject to a new evaluation.
• Those who, due to attendance at meetings of the collegiate bodies of university representation or other reasons provided for in their respective regulations, are unable to attend any of the scheduled assessment activities, are entitled to have a different day and time set for them to take place.
• Those who take part in the different assessment activities and require it will receive a documentary justification of their participation.
• In the event that the student carries out any type of irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the qualification of a given assessment activity, this activity will be graded with a 0 (zero), regardless of the disciplinary process that may result from this. In the event that several irregularities are observed in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this course will be 0.
• The disciplinaryprocess derived from copying or plagiarism, both in the case of assignments and in the case of exams, implies a 0 (zero) for the activity, the loss of the right to re-evaluation and the suspension of the whole course. Remember that "copying" is considered to be a work that reproduces in whole or in part the work of another student. "Plagiarism" is to present all or part of an author's text as one's own, without citing the sources, whether on paper or in digital format. See UAB documentation on "plagiarism" at: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html.
• Any activity not handed in by the established deadline will be considered as not having been handed in.
• At the time of each evaluation activity, Moodle will inform you of the procedure and grade revision form

About the re-evaluation

In order to take part in the re-evaluation, students must have been assessed in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to 2/3 of the total qualification (CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT) or they must have handed in all the tests foreseen (SINGLE ASSESSMENT).

The course can be reevaluated when the mark obtained in the evaluation activities is lower than 5 and equal or higher than 3.5.

The re-evaluation will consist of a single test and will take place on the day, time and place established by the Faculty.

The mark obtained in the re-evaluation will constitute the final mark for the course.

This test will be the same for students taking the continuous assessment and students taking the single assessment.
