Assessment is based on:

- an exam with questions based on the field trips, seminars and lectures,

- exercises performed during the field trips, and

- activities performed during the seminars.

The weight of each assessment activity is shown as a percentage in the corresponding assessment activities. Attitude and participation will also be assessed.

A minimum overall grade of 5 is required to pass the subject.

RE-ASSESSMENT: Students who fail to attain an overall grade of 5 will have to take re-assessment of the exam, which will include contents related to the field trips, seminars and lectures. There is no re-assessment for the other activities of this subject.

This subject is based on the work carried out during the field trips. For this reason, attending all the field trips is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY. Students who do not attend all the field trips will be directly awarded a fail grade for the subject. Attending the seminars is also mandatory.

All students registered on this subject (whether for the first time or not) are required to carry out the same activities (lectures, seminars and field trips) and will be subject to the same assessment criteria.

Schedule of the assessment activities

The dates of the assessment activities and the submission of exercises will be published in the Campus Virtual (CV). They may be subject to changes in programming due to unforeseen eventualities. Any modification will be announced through this platform.

Assessment activities will not be permitted for any student at different dates or times to that the ones already established, unless for justified causes duly advised before the activity, and with the lecturer's previous consent. In all other cases, if an activity has not been carried out, this cannot be re-assessed.

Irregularities committed by the student, copy and plagiarism

According to the UAB academic regulations, assessment activities will be qualified with a zero (0) whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment.

Irregularities contemplated in this procedure include, among others:

• the total or partial copying of a test, practical exercise, report, or any other evaluation activity;
• allowing others to copy;
• presenting group work that has not been done entirely by the members of the group;
• presenting any materials prepared by a third party as one's work, even if these materials are translations or adaptations, including work that is not original or exclusively that of the student;
• having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smartwatches, etc.) accessible during theoretical-practical assessment tests (individual exams).
