The evaluation of the subject will be made throughout the academic year through the activities listed. The final grade is obtained from the sum of the notes corresponding to the percentage allocated to each language.
Students who are repeating may request to take a global test for each of subject’s two languages. They will have to request it in writing from the teachers of each language (the deadline for doing so will be communicated at the start of the course by email).
The French language assessment consists of two parts:
1. A Portfolio of written comprehension activities consisting of a selection of class activities. At the beginning of the course, teachers will determine and make public in moodle the activities that will be part of the portfolio. These activities will always be done in asynchronous online mode using moodle questionnaires and must be completed within the periods and times set by teachers.
2. A written comprehension exam based on reading an article in the field of education. This activity will be done online in synchronous mode.
In order to pass the subject, it is necessary that the student has obtained at least 5 in each of the languages. Otherwise, it shall be deemed suspended. Also, all activities to be evaluated within each of the languages must also pass at least a 5.
Students who can acredit level C2 in Catalan are exempt from the test and dictation (“proves de normativa”) and will be awarded a 5.
To pass the Regulations Block (Catalan), you must have passed the two tests in the block: Dictation and regulations test. If one of the two is suspended at the end of the year, the entire block must be repeated the following year (dictation and regulatory test), in addition, of course, to the rest of the subject (Catalan/French)
Class attendance is mandatory: the student must attendaminimum of 80% of classes of each language. Students who, for work reasons, can’t meet this requirement they don’t lose the right to examine themselves but will have to take a reavaluation.
Generally,themain criteria to be applied in the classification of the different assessment activities of each of the languages are: 1) conceptual rigor and correction information; 2) clarity and consistency exhibition (oral and written), and 3) adequacy and linguistic correctness. In Catalan, every misspelling, syntactic lexicon i will be penalized with a reduction of 0.125 points in the final grade of each assessment activities
It qualifies as suspend the student who has not done all evaluation activities.
The grades of the evaluation activities will be made public between a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 20 working days. The teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and the date of consultation and review of the evaluated activities.
A revaluation (recovery) of the activities not passed is established for all students (continuous evaluation and single evaluation). The right to revaluation for continuous assessment students has two conditions (UAB regulations): a) having handed in 66% of the evaluation; and 2) have a minimum grade point average of 3.5.
Passed students can’t present themselves for the reassessment to raise their grade.
The revaluation will take place at the end of the class period for each of the languages.
Revaluation dates are as follows: French language: Gr 21 (20/05/2025) Gr 31 (5/06/2025) Gr 41 (20/05/2025) Gr 71 (19/06/2024)
Catalan Language: Gr 21 (20 i 27/05/2022) Gr 31 (5 i 19/06/2025) Gr 41 (20/05/2025 i 3/06/2025) Gr 71 (19 i 26/06/2024)
Catalan language: Gr 21 (20 and 27/05/2022) Gr 31 (5 and 19/06/2025) Gr 41 (20/05/2025 and 3/06/2025) Gr 71 (19 and 26/06/2024)
The Portfolio of Comprehension Activities is excluded fromthe reassessment (French Language).
The maximum mark that will be able to obtain in the revaluation of the rules block tests is of 5. (Catalan Language).
To pass this subject is necessary for the student show, using the Catalan language both orally and in writing, that has a level of linguistic competence equivalent to thatrequired by the levelC1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Teachers will ensure the inclusive use of language in the various assessment tasks of students.
If the teachers detects a flagrant copy /translation in an exam, the student will be penalized with a failing and will not be able to access the re-evaluation

French language
It will consist of the same final test as that of students in the continued evaluation:reading anarticle and answering a reading comprehension quiz.
The dates of the single evaluation: Gr 21 (6/05/2025) Gr 31 ( 22/05/2025) Gr 41 (6/05/2025) Gr 71 (8/05/2025)
The revaluation date of single evaluation: Gr 21 i Gr 41:24/06/2025 Gr 31 i 71: 26/06/2025
