To pass this course, attendance at 80% of classes is compulsory. Attendance and participation, which will account for 20% of the final grade, will consist not only of attending class, but will also consider students’ level of attention, the quality and interest of students’ interventions, as well as their participation in the activities proposed (e.g. by asking questions to their peers in the oral presentations). These items will be included in a rubric.
Students’ portfolio, which will account for 40% of the final grade, will include:
The oral presentation will account for 40% of the final grade. It will be evaluated according to a rubric that will consider the presentation (content and form), as well as the answers to the questions posed by the teacher or peers. This rubric will be shared in advance.
Review
When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.
Missed/failed assessment activities
Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.
The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. In case of retaking, maximum grade will be 5 (Pass).
Classification as "not assessable"
In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.
Misconduct in assessment activities
Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.
Single assessment
This module may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB.
Students must make an online request within the period established by the FUAB as explained here:
Single assessment will be carried out in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. The teacher responsible for this module will announce the date for the single assessment at the beginning of the module.
On the day of the single assessment, teaching staff will ask the student for identification, which should be presented as a valid identification document with a recent photograph (student card, DNI/NIE or passport).
Single assessment activities
The final grade for the subject will be calculated according to the following percentages:
Grade revision and resit procedures for the subject are the same as those for continual assessment. See the section above in this study guide.
