The assessment procedure will consider the correct assimilation, interpretation and communication of the fundamental concepts introduced during the course. Also, their correct application to the analysis of artworks and the acquired knowledge of the main authors and texts of art theory. To this end, students must go through three assessment activities.
SINGLE ASSESSMENT
Students who opt for a single assessment must complete three assessments:
Structure and detailed instructions for each assessment will be indicated at the beginning of the course in the virtual campus. Also, the date of accomplishment
REVIEW AND RECOVERY
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
To participate in recovery, students must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
In the case of Single Assessment, recovery is only permitted to students who have accomplished all the activities.
Except for Participatory activities carried on in the classroom, all other activities are recoverable through a finalexam (written exam) and by the realisation of an equivalent research work (research project)
USE OF AI
The use of AI technologies is only permitted in supportive tasks, such as translations, presentation design and the search of complementary sources of information. The student must identify which parts of their work he/she has generated with AI and add a critical reflection about the influence of this Technology on the attained results. The lack of transparency in the use of IA will be considered a lack of scholarly honesty and will be sanctioned.
*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 of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
