Continuous assessment

Evidence for learning to be completed by students:

• Evidence 1: An exam with a value of 35% of the final mark of the subject, which will take place during the first evaluation period of the second semester. It is compulsory to sit this exam.
• Evidence 2: Present the activities carried out in the seminars, a written report of the case and the oral feedback. This evidence will be presented in group (4 or 5 students) and will take place approximately between weeks 14-16. Attending the seminars (SEM) is required if you want to be evaluated in this evidence. The value of this evidence is 20%.
• Evidence 3: An exam with a value of 45% of the final grade of the course, which will take place during the second evaluation period of the second semester. It is compulsory to sit this exam.

Qualifications with continuous assessment:

• It is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 5 in the final weighted mark, being a necessary condition that the arithmetic mean between Evidence 1 and Evidence 3 is equal to or higher than 4.
• If this criterion is not met (arithmetic mean equal to or higher than 4 in the two exams, Evidences 1 and 3), the mark obtained in Evidence 2 will not be included in the calculation of the total mark.
• Students who have submitted evidence of learning with a weight equal to or higher than 40% will not be recorded as "not evaluable".

Make-up test in the case of continuous assessment:

• A recovery test may be held in the case of NOT having passed the continuous assessment, provided that the evidence provided has a weight equal to or greater than 2/3 of the total grade and a weighted final mark of between 3.5 and less than 5 has been obtained.
• This test will consist of an exam of the whole subject. The grade obtained in this exam will be the final grade and will be recorded in the minutes, with a maximum value of 6.5.
• The make-up exam will take place during the period foreseen for make-ups, on the day and time determined by the Faculty.

Regarding plagiarism:

• According to Art 266, point 10 UAB Regulations, in case the student makes any irregularity (copying, plagiarism,...) that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with 0.
• All work submitted will be checked using the Urkund anti-plagiarism programme. If a plagiarism rate of more than 30% is detected, this may be grounds for failing that specific piece of evidence.
• In case of several irregularities in the learning evidences, the final grade of the course will be 0.
• Unreferenced use of artificial intelligence tools will also be considered plagiarism.
• To avoid plagiarism you can consult the following guide: https://cv.uab.cat/ajuda/ca/2018/03/16/alumnat-citar-per-a-evitar-el-plagi/.

 Translation of exams:

• The delivery of the translation of the face-to-face assessment tests will be done if the requirements established in article 263 are met and the request is made telematically (e-form) in week 4 (more information on the Faculty's website).

 

Single assessment

The request for a single assessment implies the waiver of continuous assessment, and implies the delivery on a single date of the necessary number of evaluative evidences to accredit and guarantee the achievement of the objectives and learning outcomes established in the subject (Art 265, point 2).

Students who choose the single assessment option waive the right to be assessed continuously and will be assessed on all the contents of the subject in a single assessment event, which will take place on the same day and in the same place as the test of the second assessment period of the subject.

Evidence to be taken by the students:

• There will be 3 evidences, two written exams (Evidence 1 and 3, worth 35% and 45% of the mark, respectively), and a written report with oral feedback on the results of a case (Evidence 2, worth 20% of the mark).
• These evidences will be carried out in a single evaluation event during the second evaluation period of the second four-month period. It will last approximately 5 hours.
