Continous Assessment Activities

Title	Weighting	Hours	ECTS	Learning Outcomes
Evaluation activity of written production (I).	40%	3	0.12	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Evaluation activity of written production (II).	40%	3	0.12	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

1. Continuos assessment

In order to pass the subject, the student must carry out the following evaluable activities and achieve a grade average equal to or greater than 5.0:

1. Evaluation activity of written production (I).
2. Evaluation activity of written production (II).
3. Text analysis evaluation activity.

 The information concerning student evaluation, the type of evaluation activities and their relative weighting in the final mark is a general orientation only. This information will be specified at the beginning of the course by the professor responsible for the subject.

Also, all non-evaluable activities that the teacher considers appropriate must be submitted on the scheduled date. These exercises, although not part of the summative evaluation of the course (reason why they have not assigned a percentage of the final grade), will be taken into consideration in the evaluation process of the subject. With them, it is intended to assess the demonstrated development of knowledge and aptitudes that the subject involves.

In the correction of the activities, it will be taken into account that a sufficient degree of skills acquisition has been obtained, according to the expected learning outcomes established in the Teaching Guide. In order to pass the subject, it is essential to master the rules; therefore, when evaluating the aforementioned activities, spelling errors, the incorrect use of punctuation marks, lexical and morphosyntactic errors will be penalized according to the following indications:

 

 

1.a 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.

1.b Missed/failed assessments 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. 

1.c 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. 

1.d 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 sinvolved 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.

2. Single assessment

This subject may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB and the assessment criteria of the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting. Students must make an online request within the period established by the faculty and send a copy to the teacher responsible for the subject, for the record. Single assessment will be carried out in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. The Academic Management Office will publish the exact date and time on the faculty website. 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:

Single assessment activities	Weight
Evaluation activity of written production (I)	40%
Evaluation activity of written production (I)	40%
Text analysis evaluation activity	20%

Grade revision and resit procedures for the subject are the same as those for continual assessment. See the section above in this study guide.
