The evaluation activities will be the following:

• Theoretical test 30%

• Theoretical-practical test 40%
• Portfolio of evidence 20%
• Class participation 10%

Theoretical test 30%: students must demonstrate mastery of the terminology and theoretical foundations covered during the sessions.

Theoretical-practical test 40%: students must apply and demonstrate mastery of the content covered in class through the resolution of theoretical and practical exercises.

Portfolio of evidence 20%: students must submit a portfolio that includes the final evidence of the practical activities conducted in class.

Class participation 10%: students must provide critical opinions in class. The total participation percentage will be considered if the student attends and participates in at least half of the sessions where practical activity responses are discussed. Participation will only be valid if the corresponding practical activity has been submitted beforehand.

 

• Continuous assessment

Students must provide evidence of their progress by completing various tasks and tests. These activities are detailed in the table at the beginning of this section in the Study Guide.

Review

When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.

Missed/failed assessment activities

Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.

The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. In case of retaking, maximum grade will be 5 (Passing grade).

Classification as "not assessable"

In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.

Misconduct in assessment activities

Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.

Observations

In the case of written expression, it is understood that the student writes paragraphs and texts with full content. Misspelling, mispunctuation, and speech structure errors will penalize (-0.2 per error). Oral expression must be coherent, organized, correct and appropriate to the communicative situation.

It is considered that the general rules of presentation and delivery of academic work are known.

At the beginning of the course, both the methodology of the subject and the evaluable tests will be explained. Specific guidance for each test will be provided later. The guidelines with the detailed description of the content of the evaluable activities, the specific criteria for their evaluation and the delivery dates can be consulted in the virtual teaching space of the subject. The review procedurewill vary depending on the type of test and will be announced in due course.

 Single assessment

This subject may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB and the assessment criteria of the faculty.

Students must make an online request within the period established by the faculty and send a copy to the teacher responsible for the subject, for the record.

Single assessment will be carried out in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. The Academic Management Office will publish the exact date and time on the faculty website.

On the day of the single assessment, teaching staff will ask the student for identification, which should be presented as a valid identification document with arecent photograph (student card, DNI/NIE or passport).

Single assessment activities

Single assessment assumes a single assessment date, but not a single assessment activity.

The final grade for the course will be established according to the following percentages:

•  Theoretical test (45%): students must show a command of the terminology and theoretical foundations seen during the sessions.

• Theoretical-practical test (45%): students must apply and demonstrate that they have mastered the content seen in class by solving practical exercises.

• Proposal for error correction activities (10%): students must make a proposal for error correction of a written and/or oral production by an ELE student.

The processes for reviewing grades and recovering the subject are the same as those applied to continuous assessment. See above in this teaching guide.
