Apart from the details provided below, the "2024-25 Assessment Guidelines of the Psychology Faculty", available at https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus /evaluaciones-1345722525858.html, apply.
Learning Assessments and Grade of Continuous Assessment
There will be two mid-term exams, each worth 35% of the final grade. The marks obtained in the four seminar-related activity reports will be added (these will count for 5% or 10% of the total final grade depending on their complexity).
The average of the sum of the grades of the two mid-term exams (evidences 1 and 6) must be equal to or higher than 5 to pass the course (on a scale of 0 to 10).
In total, students are offered 6 learning evidences, which add up to 10 points:
N.B.: Seminar 3 ("Mindfulness") does not have any associated evidence (it is not assessed on-site) although attendance is highly recommended and the contents of the seminar may constitute some of the questions that will appear in Ev1 and/or Ev6.
Ev3 and Ev5 reports are delivered/submitted in the same seminar session (approximately between weeks 5-6 and 14-16 of the course, respectively). Ev2 and Ev4 reports are submitted via Moodle (approximately between weeks 3-4 and 13-14, respectively).
Given that an important part of the tasks to be assessed is carried out during the seminars and out of respect for the rest of the group, arriving late for the seminars will be penalised. Thus, arriving 30 minutes or more late without presenting justification for work, health or legal issues will imply a 20% penalty in the grade corresponding to that activity. Attendance at the seminar is compulsory if you wish to be assessed for that particular piece of evidence. If the evidence is not presented within the established deadline, the grade assigned (and not recoverable) will be 0. Students will have to carry out the work with classmates from the same seminar group.
Evidences 1 and 6 are face-to-face written tests (multiple-choice exams). EV1: During the first evaluation period of continuous assessment (the first block of the subject will be evaluated). EV6: During the second evaluation period of continuous assessment (the second and last block of the subject will be evaluated). These exams will mainly consist of questions on the theory of the subject, but also questions on the recommended readings and seminars.
N.B.: The language used for the written tests will be Catalan.
The delivery of the translation of the face-to-face written tests will be carried out if the requirements established in article 263 are met and the request is made in week 4 online (e-form) (more information on the faculty's website).
The final mark is the sum of the evidences. There is no additional test to improve any of the evidence marks.
The subject is considered passed if 5 or more points are obtained in the sum of the evidences, provided that 3,5 or more points have been obtained in the sum of evidences 1 and 6 (i.e. a pass or more on the average of these two evidences). If these requirements are not met, the maximum mark to be recorded on the academic transcript will be 4.5 points.
Students who have submitted evidence of learning with a weight equal to or higher than 40% cannot be deemed “non-evaluable” on the official course-grade roster (“acta”).
In relation to plagiarism:
According to Art 266, point 10 UAB Regulations, in case of any irregularity (copying, plagiarism...) thatmay lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0. All work submitted will be checked using the Urkund anti-plagiarism programme. If a plagiarism rate of more than 30% is detected, this may be grounds for failing that specific piece of evidence. In the event of various irregularities in the learning evidence, the final grade for the course will be 0. The non-referenced use of artificial intelligence tools will also be considered plagiarism. To avoid plagiarism you can consult the following guide: https://cv.uab.cat/ajuda/ca/2018/03/16/alumne-citar-per-a-evitar-el-plagi/
Resit
All the following criteria must be met in order to take resit:
a) Have obtained between 3.5 and less than 5 points in the continuous assessment.
b) The weight of evidence to which the person has presented him/herself throughout the course shall be 66.7% or more.
Characteristics of the resit:
It will consist of retaking Ev1 and/or Ev6, with the same characteristics and correction criteria of the continuous assessment.
The evaluation marks for Ev2, Ev3, Ev4 and Ev5 will be kept, but they cannot be repeated or retaken as they are classroom seminar evidences.
The resit exam will be made in the period assigned for the re-assessment, the day and time being determined by the Faculty.
The resit grade will replace the grade previously obtained in the same evidence.
Grade review process
After all grading activities have ended, students will be informed of the date and way in which the course grades will be published. Students will be also be informed of the procedure, place, date and timeofgradereview in line with University regulations.
SINGLE ASSESSMENT
The request for a single assessment implies the waiver of continuous assessment, and implies the delivery on a single date of the necessary number of evaluative evidences to accredit and guarantee the achievement of the objectives and learning outcomes established in the subject (Art 265, point 2).
Single assessment is requested online (e-form) during the specified period (more information on the faculty's website).
Students who choose the single assessment option waive the right to be assessed continuously and will be assessed on all the contents of the subject in a single assessment, which will take place on the same day and at the same time as the test of the second assessment period of the subject.
This evaluation act will consist of two multiple-choice exams corresponding to the first and second block of the subject (Ev1 and Ev2) which will follow the same format as the continuous assessment (corresponding to Ev1 and Ev6 of the continuous assessment, respectively). These exams will mainly consist of questions on the theory of the subject, but also questions on the recommended readings and seminars. In addition, there will be another exam (Ev3) where problems and cases derived from the different activities carried out in the context of the seminar throughout the course will be presented (corresponding to Ev2, Ev3, Ev4 and Ev5 of the continuous assessment). The total duration of this single evaluative face-to-face event will be approximately 3h30min (see the following table).

The final mark is the sum of the evidences. There is no additional test to improve any of the evidence marks.
The subject is considered passed if 5 or more points are obtained in the sum of the evidences from single assessment.
Students who have submitted evidence of learning with a weight equal to or higher than 40% cannot be deemed “non-evaluable” on the official course-grade roster (“acta”).
Resit of the single assessment
All the following criteria must be met in order to take resit:
(a) Have obtained between 3,5 and less than 5 points in the single assessment
(b) The weight of evidence to which the person has submitted shall be 66,7 % or more.
Characteristics of the recovery test:
It will consist of retaking evidence Ev1 and/or Ev2. The mark for the evaluation of evidence Ev3 will be kept, but it cannot be repeated or retaken. In this way, the same recovery process will be applied as for continuous assessment.
The resit exam will be made in the period assigned for the re-assessment, the day and time being determined by the Faculty.
No unique finalsynthesis test for students who enroll for the second time or more is anticipated.
N.B.: Except in exceptional situations and previously agreed with a student, oneweek before the on-site exams (bothcontinuous assessment and single assessment), and until the end of the ordinary revision, "content" questions will not be answered by e-mail or via Moodle. Students will have to attend the timetables established by the teachers.
