CONTINUOUS assessment will be carried out throughout the course using the activities listed below. As can be seen, the course assessment consists of 60% individual assessment tasks and 40% group assessment tasks.

 

RESIT EXAM:

Students who do not obtain a grade of 5 or higher in the individual final written exam may take a resit exam, which will account for 45% of the course grade, replacing the final exam grade. The maximum grade for the resit exam will always be a 5. This resit exam will be held on 27/01/2026 (group 61) and 28/01/2026 (group 62).

Likewise, students who do not obtain a grade of 5 or higher on the space and form questionnaire may take a make-up test that will account for 15% of the course grade, replacing the questionnaire grade. The maximum grade for this retake exam will always be a 5. This retake exam will be held on 9/12/2025 (group 61) and 10/12/2025 (group 62).

 

CALCULATION OF THE SUBJECT MARK:

The final mark for the course is the weighted average of the assessment activities highlighted above, with the following conditions:

• In order to be eligible for the weighted average with the rest of the course grades, the student must have obtained a minimum of 5 in the final exam or the resit exam. If the student does not obtain a minimum of 5 in the final exam or the resit exam, they will not pass the course and the final grade for the subject will be 3.

• Late submission of assessment activities will result in a 0 in the assessment of those activities.

• Failure to attend the individual space and form questionnaire will result in a 0 in the assessment of that activity.

   

• In order for students to be assessed, they must submit at least 75% of the assessable assignments (in addition to taking and passing the final exam or resit exam with a grade of 5). If students do not submit at least 75% of the assessable assignments, they will be considered “unassessed”.

• Assessment activities cannot be retaken under any circumstances, except for the individual final written test and the individual space and form questionnaire.

• Even if the student passes the final test or, where applicable, the resit, if the weighted average of the marks does not reach 5, the student will fail the subject and the final mark on their record will be a 3.

• Class attendance is compulsory: students must attend all classes in order to be assessed (a maximum of 20% of absences is allowed, both in large group classes and in seminars).

At the same time, students must take into account the following regulatory considerations regarding assessment:

• Calculators are not permitted in individual written tests, unless indicated by the teacher.

• With regard to the use of Artificial Intelligence, Model 2 - Restricted Use will be followed in this course: For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks such as bibliographic or information searches and the correction of texts or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penaltyon the activity mark, or more severe penalties in serious cases.

• All assessment activities are compulsory for all students.

• The mark fora group assignment is not necessarily the individual mark for each of the students in that group.

• Students who are not physically present at the seminar sessions during the development of the deliverables for each of the three blocks will receive a maximum mark of 5 for those activities.

In order to pass this course, students must demonstrate good general oral and written communication skills and a good command of the language of instruction specified in the course guide. All activities (individual and group) will therefore be assessed on linguistic accuracy, writing and formal aspects of presentation.

Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and demonstrate a high level of comprehension of academic texts. Students must demonstrate proficiency equivalent to level 2 (equivalent to C2). Before submitting evidence of learning, it is necessary to check that sources, notes, quotations and bibliographical references have been writtencorrectly in accordance with APA 7 guidelines.

Total or partial plagiarism of one of the assessment activities and/or copying in an assessment test is direct grounds for failing the course. Copying or plagiarism of any type of assessment activity constitutes a crime and will be penalised with a grade of 0 for the course, with no possibility of retaking it, whether it is an individual or group assignment (in this case, all members of the group will receive a 0).

Assessment activities will be returned and graded within a maximum of 20 working days after they have been handed in.

 

UNIQUE ASSESSMENT:

Students who opt for the single assessment must follow the course, attending classes regularly (a maximum of 20% of classes may be missed, both in large groups and in seminars). They must also follow the instructions set out in the previous section entitled ‘Calculation of the subject mark’. However, THEY WILL NOT SUBMIT THE MONITORING ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES UNTIL THE DAY OF THE FINAL ASSESSMENT. Therefore, THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE individualised feedback on the monitoring assessment activities during the course. In any case, they will be able to access general feedback, either during the feedback sessions for the whole class (on 16/12/2025 for group 61 and 17/12/2025 for group 62) or through the virtual campus, which will be organised by the group.

• Individual final written exam (45% of the final mark). The individual written test will take place on the single assessment day: 09-12-2025 (group 61) and 10-12-2025 (group 62). This is a resitable activity. The resit dates will be: 27/01/2026 (group 61) and 28/01/2026 (group 62).

• Group work (30% of the final mark). The work will be done individually and will be handed in on the single assessment day: 09-12-2025 (group 61) and 10-12-2025 (group 62). This assessment activity cannot be retaken.

• Group activities (10% of the final mark). The three practicals will be carried out individually and must be submitted on the day of the single assessment: 09-12-2025 (group 61) and 10-12-2025 (group 62). The assessment will be carried out entirely by the teacher. This assessment activity cannot be retaken.

• Individual space and shape questionnaire (15% of the final mark). It will take place on the day of the single assessment: 09-12-2025 (group 61) and 10-12-2025 (group 62). This activity can be retaken. The retake dates will be: 27/01/2026 (group 61) and 28/01/2026 (group 62).

 

ATTENTION RETAKERS:

THERE WILL BE NO SUMMARYASSESSMENT for this subject. Therefore, those who enrol for the second time may choose between continuous assessment or single assessment. In both cases, the conditions regarding attendance that will apply to them are the same as for the rest of the students enrolled in the subject. Therefore, we recommend that students who are repeating the subject ensure that they are available to attend it regularly, if necessary, avoiding enrolling in other subjects from other courses that are taught on the same day at the same time.
