Continous Assessment Activities

Title	Weighting	Hours	ECTS	Learning Outcomes
Practices	40	2	0.08	8, 7, 1, 5, 10, 4, 3, 9, 6
Theory/Problems Control 1	30	2	0.08	8, 7, 2, 5, 10, 4, 3, 6
Theory/Problems Control 2	30	2	0.08	8, 7, 2, 5, 10, 4, 3, 6

 

a)    Training activities

Theory / Problems Control 1:                 30% of the final grade;

Theory / Problems Control 2:                 30% of the final grade;

Practices:                                                 40% of the final grade;

 

To pass the subject, the weighted average of the three evaluation activities must be at least 5.  This rule will be applied as long as the following conditions are met:

- The grade obtained in Control 1 and Control 2 is at least 3.5 each and the average mark of both exams is, at least, 5.

  - The grade obtained in Practices is, at least, 5.

Regarding controls, reassessments and any evaluable activity, no student will be allowed to enter after 5 minutes from the start of the test/activity. Mobile phones cannot be used in the evaluative tests.

In the case of not passing the subject, the numerical note of the final mark will be the lowest value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the obtained grades.

 

b) Training activities schedule

The scheduling of the evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus. These dates may be subject to programming changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents; these changes will always be informed through the virtual campus since it is understood that this is the usual mechanism of exchanging information between lecturer and students.

 

c) Retake Process:

Those students who, having done the continuous assessment, have not achieved the minimum necessary to pass the subject, will have the option to retake the entire Theory / Problems part in a single exam. The maximum mark that can be obtained in this exam is a 7, therefore, this will be the maximum mark that can be obtained in the Theory/Problems part of the retake process. The part of Practices, given its nature, cannot be retaken.

  

d) Procedure for qualifications  review

For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time will be indicated allowing students to review the activity with the lecturer. If students do not take part in this review, no further opportunity will be made available.

 

e) Qualifications

In order to pass the course with honours, the final grade must be a 9.0 or higher taking into account the number of students enrolled in the course and bearing in mind the regulation of UAB.

Given that evaluation methodology is continuous assessment, the fact of presenting any training activity (exercises, tests, problems, control, practices ...) is interpreted as the intention of being evaluated on that subject and, therefore, the grade will be different than Not Avaluable (NA). An NA grade can only be obtained by not delivering evaluable evidences throughout the course

 

f) Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism

 

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, assessment activities will receive a zero whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedurewill not be re-assessable. If passing the assessment activity or activities in question is required to pass the subject, the awarding of a zero for disciplinary measures will also entail a direct fail for the subject, with no opportunity to re-assess this in the same academic year. Irregularities contemplated in this procedure include, among others:

 

• the total or partial copying of a practical exercise, report, orany other evaluation activity;

• allowing others to copy;

• presenting group work that has not been done entirely by the membersof the group;

• the unauthorized use of AI (for example Copilot, ChatGPT or equivalent) to solve exercises, practices and/or any other evaluable activity;

• presenting any materials prepared by a third party as one’s own work, even if these materials are translations or adaptations, including work that is not original or exclusively that of the student;

• having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, etc.) accessible during theoretical-practical assessment tests (individual exams).

 

In summary: copy, let copy or plagiarize (or attempt) in any of the evaluation activities, is equivalent to grade NO PASS, not compensable and without validation of parts of the subject in subsequent courses.

 

g) Evaluation of repeating students

There is no provision for a different evaluation for the repeating students

 

h) Single evaluation system

This course does not contemplate the single evaluation system.
