Mandatory reading comprehension test | 10 % | 0 | 0 | CM21, KM27 |
Practice of analysis and production of oral language samples | 25 % | 0 | 0 | CM21, CM23, KM27, SM28, SM30, SM32 |

Continuous assessment
Students must take the following tests during the course:
• Practices of analysis and production of samples of the written language (25%).
• Practices of analysis and production of samples of the oral language (25%).
• Comprehension test of compulsory readings (10%).
• Written test on the theoretical and descriptive content of the course (40%).
The characteristics of each of the practices will be specified during the course and will be available in Moodle.
To pass the course, all the tests must be taken and delivered within the set time. A final grade equal to or greater than 5 must be obtained. To calculate the final grade, the percentages indicated above will be applied.
In order to add the different assessment activities, it is necessary to obtain a minimum score of 3 out of 10 in all the tests. Students who have failed any of the tests with less than 3 or have not reached 5 with the sum of all the activities may present to the recovery of a maximum of two of the tests carried out in an ordinary way (not more than 50% of the total). To have access to revaluation, the previous grades must be at least an average mark of 3.5. Recovery exam only allows to reach a 5 on the final evaluation score.
It will be considered "Not assessed" if the student has only completed one of the practices /tests. The elaboration of more than one practice / test supposes, therefore, the will of the student to be evaluated in the subject and, therefore, its presentation in the evaluation.
Summative assessment
Students must take the following tests during thecourse:
• Practices of analysis and production of samples of the written language (25%).
• Practices of analysis and production of samples of the oral language (25%).

The date of the theory tests and the delivery of the practices will be indicated on Moodle at the beginning of the course.
The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used for recovery.

Misspellings, as well as errors in punctuation, morphosyntax and vocabulary are penalized with -0.2 points each. The test will be considered 0 and the assessment test must be repeated if the student has more than 15 mistakes. The student can do two re-assessment tests as a maximum (out of a total of four).
Students will have the right to re-assess the course if they have been evaluated from the set of activities whose weight is equal to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total assessment.
The student who performs any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, identity theft, publication of assessment activities on any external platform to the UAB...) will be qualified with 0 in this assignment or exam. In case there are several irregularities, the final grade of the subject will be 0.
