- During the course students will be compelled to perform a set of exercises, such as an oral presentation, a bibliographic work and two written tests. The oral presentation will be equivalent to 20% of the final grade, the bibliographic work to 20% and the exam to 60% (divided into two tests, counting 30 % + 30 %).

- This subject includes the single assesment. However, students must formally request it during the perid designated by the Faculty.

-The students will obtain a non assessed/non submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30 % 

- The assessment activities will be scheduled all along the course. Students will be informed about the dates of the activities and when they have to submit the written works well in advance.

- The students will have the right to a review of the results of the tests carried out.

- At the time of completion/delivery of each assessment activity, the teacher will inform (Moodle, SIA) of the procedure and date of revision of the grades.

- The particular cases that need to be object of a specific treatment will be taken into account if they are adequately justified. However, the assessment schedule may not be modified, except in duly justified exceptional cases. Likewise, Erasmus students requesting to take an exam early must present a written document from their home university justifying the request.

- In all evaluation exercises, special consideration will be given to: a) the ability to critically evaluate the social and economic models that explain the evolution of the Eighteenth century; b) the appropriate utilization of the specific vocabulary produced by each social and cultural sector studied, and c) the appropriate use of the lexicon proper to the discipline.

- 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 ofthe same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

- In the written activities, spelling, syntactic or lexical errors will be taken into account. The penalty will be 0.1 points on the final grade for each mistake. Repeated errors will downgrade a maximun of 10% of the total taskassessment.

- In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to anonline format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting willbe maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried outthrough 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.

-This course allows the use of artificial intelligence as an additional tool, with the value of consulted bibliography, provided that the student specifies which parts of their work have been carried out with its assistance and contributes significantly to the majority of the written work submitted.

 

Single assessment

- This course offers the option of single assessment. Students must formally request it during the period established by the Faculty.

- It will consist of three assessment activities: 60% (two written exams covering the entire syllabus, each worth 30%), 20% (a review-type assignment), and 20% (oral presentation and active participation).

-The same resit system as for continuous assessment will apply.

 

Reassessment 

Students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities that account for at least two-thirds of the total grade (CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT), or must have submitted all scheduled assessments (SINGLE ASSESSMENT).

-To participate in the resit process, the course instructor may require a minimum average grade. This minimum may notexceed 3.5.

-Activities considered non-recoverable by the instructor—such as oral presentations, group work, or tasks related to daily class activities—may be excluded from the resit process.

-A student will receive the grade “Not assessable” if they have not submitted more than 30% of the assessment activities.

- The reassessment will consist in a global examination about all the course subject matter and will be held on the official dates established by the Faculty. Reassessment will not be considered as a mean to improve the qualification of the students who havealready passed the course in the normal process of continuous evaluation.
