Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attendance and active monitoring | 10% | 1 | 0.04 | KMU03, SMU04 |
| Exams | 60% (30% + 30%) | 5.5 | 0.22 | KMU04, SMU05 |
| Works (essays, text comments, etc.) | 30% | 1 | 0.04 | CMU03, KMU03, KMU04, SMU04, SMU05 |
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
Exams module: 60% (30%+30%, two tests) of the final grade.
Works module (text comments and/or oral presentations, etc.): 30% of the final grade.
Attendance module (attendance and active monitoring in classes, Moodle, etc.): 10% of the final grade.
At least 3 assessment activities and 2 types of assessment will be scheduled throughout the semester. No assessment activity can account for more than 50% of the total grade.
Assessment activities will be scheduled throughout the academic year. The dates and reviews will be communicated to the students in sufficient advance. The teaching staff will establish a specific tutoring schedule to proceed with the commentary on the assessment activities. The student will have the right to review the results of the tests carried out. At the time of completion/delivery of each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform (Moodle, SIA) of the procedure and date of revision of the qualifications.
UNIQUE ASSESSMENT:
-Exam: 60% of the final grade.
-Works module (essays, text comments, etc.): 40% of the final grade.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS:
The subject is approved if a minimum of 5 points (out of 10) is obtained in the final grade.
The student will be graded "Non-Evaluable" when he/she does not attend assessment activities worth more than 60% of the assessment.
In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
Spelling, syntactic or lexical errors are taken into account in the written activities. The penalty can be between 0.1-0.2 points for each fault committed on the final grade. Repeated fouls may result in a discount.
If the tests cannot be taken in person, their format will be adapted to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools. Homework, activities and class participation will be done through forums, wikis and/or exercise discussions through Moodle, Teams, etc. The teaching staff will ensure that the student can access it or will offer him alternative means, which are within his reach.
RECOVERY:
In order to have the right to recovery, students must have taken all the tests listed in the teaching guide for the subject. This means that anyone who does not take any of the scheduled exams or does not hand in the mandatory assignments, will not have the right to be reassessed.
The recovery will consist of a global examination of the subject, both for the students of the continuous assessment and the single assessment. It will take place on the date established by the Faculty.
The maximum grade that can be obtained in the re-evaluation process is a 5 (APPROVED).
In no case can recovery be considered as a mechanism to improve the grade of students who had already passed the subject in the normal evaluation process.
