Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exam | 50% | 1.25 | 0.05 | 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8 |
| Reading and quiz | 25% | 15.75 | 0.63 | 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 |
| Reading and quiz | 25% | 15.75 | 0.63 | 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 |
Activity 1:
Reading and quiz (2,5 marks, 25% of the final mark). NOT REASSESSMENT.
Activity 2:
Reading and quiz (2,5 marks, 25% of the final mark). NOT REASSESSMENT.
Activity 3:
Exam (5 marks, 50% of the final mark).
The final mark is the result of the addition of the marks obtained in all activities, but it is essential to have obtained a minimum of 2,5 marks out of 5 in the exam.
If the student has only done some of the compulsory activities and he/she has passed them, he/she will get a "not assessable" when the general addition does not reach the pass or a superior mark.
On the contrary, the student will get the mark that he/she has obtained. At the time of each evaluative activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and the date of the revision of the marking.
Only the students who have not passed, but have sat for the three compulsory activities, have the right to a reassessment - the date is set by the Facultie's Academic Management. The maximum mark of this
reassessment is 5 out of 10.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade
awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any
disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the
same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made
available through the UAB's virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities
and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/ordiscussion on Teams, etc.
Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible
alternatives.
Reassessment: Exam (activity 3).
POSSIBILITY OF A SINGLE ASSESMENT
Students who whish to take advantage of the possibility of a single assesment must inform the teacher at the beginning of the course. It will consist of a final exam that will include the three activities.
