This information on evaluation, the type of evaluation activity and its weight on the course is for information purposes. The teacher responsible for the subject will specificity it at the beginning of teaching.

 

Review of exams

When publishing the final marks, prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. The lecturer must arrange reviews in agreement with students.

 

Reevaluation

Students will be allowed to submit to reevaluation exams provided they submitted to 66,6 (two thirds) of the total value of the evaluation, and they obtained a final grade of 3,5 or more.

In case of reevaluation, the maximum grade a student can obtain is 5.

At the moment of communicating the prefinal grades, the lecturer shall announce, in written form, the reevaluation procedure. It is possible to provide a different reevaluation activity per failed part, o to group several parts into a single activity.  Under no circumstances, though, can all activities be grouped into a single part.

 

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.

 

The student has the right to choose between two evaluation options: continuous assessment and single assessment. We define both below.

 

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

 

It is the usual wayof assessment, which consists of a series of tests (in this course, 5), which are distributed along the course. The tests may be of difent contents: comprehension, edition and production.

 

Evaluation activities comprise:

- comment of text on linguistics (30%)

- comparison of lingüstic features in two langüages (30%)

- final exam(40%)

 

These tests should cover the evaluation od grammatical competence, spelling competence and text competence, the main goals of the corse.

 

Evaluation tasks which are delivered after the deadline will not be accepted.

 

A student who has performed more than 25% of evaluation activities, but less than 66,6%, has the right to evaluation, but not to reevaluation.

 

Status  of “non evaluable”

A student is "non evaluable” if s/he has reached only 25% or less of the total value of the evaluation.

 

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

 Requirements to access 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 must consist of a minimum of three evaluation activities of two different types, as established.

 

In this course, single assessment will consist of three parts:

- an exam on theory of language (40%)

- two exams on contrastive problems (30 + 30%)
