Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The information provided above regarding assessment is a guide. The lecturer will provide full details once teaching begins.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Students must demonstrate their progress by completing various tasks and tests. These activities are detailed in the table at the end of this section of the Study Guide.

Review. When publishing final marks before recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of the date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.

Missed/failed assessment activities. Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that the completed activities account for a minimum of 66.6% (two-thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.

The lecturer will inform students of the procedure in writing when publishing final marks before recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover multiple activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for.

Classification as "not assessable". If the assessment activities a student has completed account for 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.

Misconduct in assessment activities. Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, impersonation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for that activity. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student involved will receive a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g., plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

This subject may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB and the assessment criteria of the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting.

Students must submit an online request within the period established by the faculty and send a copy to the teacher responsible for the subject for the record.

The single assessment will be conducted in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. The Academic Management Office will publish the exact date and time on the faculty website.

On the day of the single assessment, teaching staff will ask the student for identification, which should be presented as a valid identification document with a recent photograph (student card, DNI/NIE, or passport).

Single assessment activities. The final grade for the subject will be calculated according to the following percentages:

• Written exam covering the first midterm: 40%
• Written exam covering the second midterm: 40%
• Oral presentations equivalent to those delivered during the course: 20%
