In all the activities (individual and in group) the linguistic correction, the writing and the formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of comprehension of academic texts. We remind you that, in the case of the Catalan language, in the 1st and 2nd year it is requested that the student has a linguistic competence equivalent to Level 1 for Teachers of Infant and Primary Education and that from the 3rd year of the Degree the student must have shown a competence equivalent to Level 2 for Teachers of Infant and Primary Education. See: http://www.uab.cat/web/els-estudis/-competencia-linguistica-1345698914384.html and "Normativa d'avaluació en els estudis de la UAB" http://mat.uab.cat/~seccio/documents/arxiu/Normativa_avaluacio.pdf).
The course allows a Synthesis Test for students who are enrolling for the second time.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologiesis permitted as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final outcome clearly reflects a significant contribution by the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must explicitly identify which parts were generated using such technology, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Failure to transparently disclose the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a penalty on the activity’s grade or, in more serious cases, lead to further disciplinary measures.
In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying ofanyindividual or grouppaper will be penalised with a mark of 0 for that paper, without any possibility of a re-sit. During the completion of a paper or the individual exam in class, if the teacher has reason to believe that a student is trying to copy or s/he discovers any kind of non-authorised document or device, the student involved will obtain a mark of 0, without any possibility to re-sit. A paper or test will be consideredas plagiarism when a chunk of text of four words or longer authored by another person (another student, scholar, webpage, etc.) without citing the source according to academic norms.
