Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The subject will be assessed using the following procedures:

Continuous Assessment

• Exam 1: 40%

• Exam 2: 40%

• Completion of assignments, commentaries, practicals: 20%

Single Assessment

• Exam 1: 40%

• Exam 2: 40%

• Completion of a written assignment: 20%

Single assessment does not entail any change to the general teaching model. Therefore, teaching and assessment must be considered separately. Students opting for the single assessment may continue attending classes.

The dates for classroom tests will be the same for both continuous and single assessment modalities. The deadlines for submitting assignments, commentaries or practicals will be communicated to students at the beginning of the course. On the date of each assessment activity, teaching staff will inform students (via the virtual campus or email) of the procedure and date for grade review. 

Other provisions:

• Students will receive a grade of "Not assessable" if they have submitted less than one third of the assessed activities.

• In order to participate in the resit process, students must have previously completed a set of activities whose weight equals at least two-thirds of the total grade (Continuous Assessment), or must have submitted all the planned assessments (Single Assessment).

• To be eligible for resit, students must have obtained a final average grade of 3.5.

• The resit will consist of a global examination covering the subject matter and will take place on the official dates set by the Faculty (the same resit system applies as for continuous assessment).

• The resit may not be used as a means of improving the grade of students who have already passed the subject. The maximum grade that can be obtained through resit is 5.0 (Pass).

• If a student commits any irregularity that may result in a significant variation of the grade for an assessed activity, the activity will be graded with a 0, regardless of any disciplinary procedure. Likewise, any assessment activity affected by irregularities will not be eligible for resit. In the event of multiple irregularities within the same subject, the final grade will be 0.

• This course allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively for bibliographic research, information retrieval, text editing or translation tasks. Failure to disclose the use of AI in assessable activities will be considered academic dishonesty and will result in a grade of 0 with no option for resit, or more severe penalties in serious cases.

• Erasmus students requesting an early exam date must submit a written statement from their home institution justifying the request.

• No modifications to the scheduled dates of assessable activities or submission deadlines will be accepted, except in duly justified and documented cases of force majeure.

Review of Assessments Students will have the right to review the results of completed assessments. The lecturer will set a specific time for tutorials to review and comment on the assessment activities completed.
