This subject/module does not offer the option for comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation of the subject is done in a progressive form and continuously during all the semester. The system of evaluation bases in the following rules:

a)  Process and activities of evaluation

The following activities are foreseen:

• Activity A. Individual and small group contributions made during the in-class sessions of the course, thus encouraging the active participation of students in their own learning process. This section includes the resolution of problems during problem seminars. This activity counts 10% on the final grade of the subject.
• Activity B.Presentation of reports, by writing and orally, related to the practices with computer, worked during the course, with the aim to follow the evolution of each student in the understanding and use of the tools worked in the subject, and to improve at the same time the acquisition of transversal competitions.  This activity contributes 40% on the final grade of the subject. It is necessary to pass each and every one of the practices separately (grade equal or greater than 5) to pass the practical part.
• Activity C. Examination, to favour the consolidation of the material worked during the course. This activity contributes 50% on the final grade of the subject.

In order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to take out a minimum grade of 5 in activity B and of 4,5 in the activity C. It is necessary to take into account that the activity B is non-recoverable and must be completed on the date and in the form as indicated by the professor. Therefore, failing the activity B with an inferior grade to the indicated previously, supposes to fail the subject. 

b)  Calendar of activities of evaluation

The datesof the evaluation activities (exercises, assignments ...) will be announced well in advance duringthesemester.

The date ofthe final exam is scheduled in the assessment calendar of the Faculty.

"The dates of evaluation activities cannot be modified, unless there is an exceptional and duly justified reason why an evaluation activity cannot be carried out. In this case, the degree coordinator will contact both the teaching staff and the affected student, and a new date will be scheduled within the same academic period to make up for the missed evaluation activity."Section 1 of Article 115. Calendar of evaluation activities (Academic Regulations UAB).Students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, who in accordance with the previous paragraph need to change an evaluation activity date must process the request by filling out an Application for exams' reschedule at https://eformularis.uab.cat/group/deganat_feie/nou-reprogramacio-de-proves

 

c)  Grade revision process

After all grading activities have ended students will be informed of the date and way in which the course grades will be published. Students will be also be informed of the procedure, place, date and time of grade revision following University regulations. If the student does not present to this review, he will not be able to review later the grades.  

d)  Retake process

For those students that at the end of the process of evaluation have not obtained an equal or higher qualification to 5 as final grade or4,5 in Activity C but have more than a 5 in the practices (Activity B), there will be a re-evaluation. This will consist in the realisation, in the planned date by the Faculty, of an examination containing representative situations worked during the course. If a student does not arrive to the minimum grade of 4,5 in Activity C and by this reason he does not approve the subject, the final grade will be a maximum of 4.5, that is, equal to the value of the weighted average (according to section a) if it is less than 4.5 or 4.5 if it is higher.

e)  Qualifications

The final grade of the subject will be calculated by applying the percentages mentioned in the section a of this guide. It is necessary to take into account that:

• Matrícula de Honor (MH). Award a qualification of matrícula de honoris only decision of the professor in charge of the subject. The rule of the UAB indicates that the MH only will be able to be awarded to students that have obtained an equal final qualification or upper to 9.00.  

• Not evaluable. A student is considered “not evaluable” when he has not presented to any activity C. In any another case the criteria of evaluation detailed further up are followed. 

f)  Irregularities in evaluation activities

 Despite other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "whenever a student makes any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation activity, it will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that canbe instructed. In case of occurrence of various irregularities in the evaluation of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0". Section 10 of Article 116. Results of the evaluation. (UAB Academic Regulations).

g)  Evaluation of the students doing the subject again

For those students doing the subject again, the grades of Activities A and C are not recorded from the previous course. Nevertheless, the note of the computer practices (Activity B) will be transmitted from one course to another. The students repeating the subject follow the same norms of evaluation that any another student.
