1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

1.1. Calendar of evaluation activities

The dates of the evaluation activities (midterm exams, exercises in the classroom, assignments, ...) will be announced well in advance during the semester.

The date of the 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:

1.2. Course final grade of the student in the subject

In the framework of the continuous evaluation, the final (global) course grade of the student in the subject will consist of the weighted average of the three following grades:

1. Course participation (follow up): The right followship of the course implies that students are required to be present during the class sessions an to complte all individual and group assignments (cases, group projects and/or excrercises or activities) programmed during the semester for each topic. This participation mark represents 30% of the final course grade.

2. Mid-term exam. This mid-term (partial) exam will cover the class contents covered up to that point. The grade of the mid-term exam represents 20% of the final course grade.

3. Final exam (Students must verify the exact date, time, and location in the faculty examination schedule). The final exam evaluates students based on the entire contents  covered in the course. The grade of the final exam represents 50% of the final course grade.  It is required to get a minimum of 3 out of 10 in this final exam. Otherwise, this assessment activity will account 0 in the weighted average of the final course grade of the student in the subject.

If such a final weighted average (30%-20%-50%) or final course grade is equal or greater than 5, the student will pass the subject. If this final weighted average is equal to or greater than 3.5 but lesser than 5, the student will fail the course but will be provided with a recuperation opportunity. If this final weighted average is lower than 3.5 the student will fail the subject without the right to recuperation.

For those students with right to recuperation (obtaining a final course grade equal to or greater than 3.5 and less than 5), Professors will decide about the type of such recuperation. The recuperation date/time/place will be scheduled according to the faculty examination schedule. There will be only two possible recuperation grades: “Pass” (“Apte”) or “Fail” (“No-apte”). Students that obtain “Pass” (Apte) grade will pass the course with a final maximum grade of 5. Students that obtain “Fail” (No-apte) grade will fail the course with the final course grade obtained during the regular evaluation ( i.e. before the given recuperation opportuniy).

A student can obtain "Not Assessed" grade only when he/she has not participated in any of the evaluation activities. Therefore, students who perform at least one evaluation component cannot obtain "Not Assessed" grade.

1.3 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.

1.4. Retake process

"To be eligible to participate in the retake process, it is required for students to have been previously been evaluated for at least two thirds of the total evaluation activities of the subject." Section 3 of Article 112 ter. The recuperation (UAB Academic Regulations). Additionally, it is required that the student will have achieved an average final grade of the subject between 3.5 and 4.9.

The date of the retake exam will be posted in the calendar of evaluation activities of the Faculty. Students who take this exam and pass, will get a grade of 5 for the subject. If the student does not pass the retake, the grade will remain unchanged, and hence, student will fail the course.

1.5. Irregularities in evaluation activities

In spite of other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the case that the 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 can be instructed. In case of various irregularities occur 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).
