The final grade of the course will be the sum (weighted) of the scores distinguished in each activity, the grade will be to be at least 5. After each test, hello will have half a procedure for reviewing the result.
The subject will be "non-assessable" when the final test has not been taken.
Candidates are retaken in the recovery of students who have a minimum of 3.5 of the overall grade and have statutes available in a minimum of 2/3 of the signature grade. Only the final exam can be retaken and the maximum mark will be 5.
Regulatory errors will be penalized in the manner established for each activity.
The calendar will be available on the first day of class. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.
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/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools,or will offer them feasible alternatives.
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/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
Students who have applied for and been granted the single assessment will have to take the same final written exam as other students (50%) and an oral test which will consist of 2 questions, one theoretical and one practical, on any aspect of the syllabus (25% + 25% = 50%).
