CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Attendance in the 5-hour large group sessions and all seminars is mandatory. Attendance in these sessions will be recorded and this record will be used to calculate the % of attendance for the subject. It is necessary to attend a minimum of 80% of the hours of the sessions with attendance control. In the event of attendance below the minimums set, a grade of non-assessable will be obtained until the pass is validated (if applicable) in the re-sit (see RE-SIT section). In all cases, to be entitled to the re-sit, it is necessary to have previously submitted 66% of the assessment activities (to calculate this %, the weight of each activity in the overall grade will be taken into account) with a minimum average grade of 3.5. Documents that are sometimes presented in the event of absence serve only to explain the absence, in no case are they an exemption from attendance.

The assessment blocks are: 1) Delivery in pairs [problem 2] or individually [problems 3 and 4], in writing or in audiovisual format, of the solution to 3 problems; (2) Project carried out in a small groups on the contents of module 1 and individual oral presentation of this project; (3) Project carried out in a small groups on the contents of module 2 and individual oral presentation of this project; (4) Individual written test on the contents of modules 1 and 2.

The assessment of incoming students participating in the SL project in group 71 will follow the same assessment system, with these adaptations:

• The problems proposed (assessment block 1) will be specific to the SL context.
• The projects (assessment blocks 2 and 3) will be designed and implemented in group or individually at the school during the SL.

Each block of assessment activities must be passed separately in order to pass the subject overall. In the event that the grade for block 1 or 4 is between 4.5 and 5, RE-SIT can be avoided as long as the weighted average of the individual tasks (i.e. not counting the problem solved in pairs) in these two blocks is a pass (5). Otherwise, RE-SIT will be required.

Delivery dates:

• The solutions to the problems will be presented at the end of each unit on the days indicated in the subject program given on the first day of class.
• The oral presentation of the module 1 project will be on the last day of module 1 (21/04/26 group 41, 24/04/26 group 31, 27/04/26 groups 21 and 71).
• The oral presentation of the module 2 project will be on the last day of module 2 (02/06/26 group 41, 12/06/26 group 31, 15/06/26 groups 21 and 71).
• The written presentation of the project for modules 1 and 2 will be made on the last day of the course (02/06/26 group 41, 12/06/26 group 31, 15/06/26 groups 21 and 71)
• The written test will be on 26/05/26 for group 41, 05/06/26 for group 31, 08/06/26 for groups 21 and 71.

Problems that must be delivered before 7:59 a.m. (groups 21 and 31) and 3:59 p.m. (groups 41 and 71) on the due date. The project (written) must be delivered before 11:59 p.m. on the delivery day. Late deliveries will not be accepted under any circumstances and the task will receive a grade of 0 (see RE-SIT section).

If students do not attend the oral presentations on the day and time assigned, this part of the project grade will not be taken into account.

In the case of group work, the individual contribution of each member of the group will be taken into account.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

Although this option is not advisable due to the characteristics of the subject, this subject includes a single assessment. Students must request this modality before the deadline and following the procedures set by Gestió Acadèmica. Single assessment should not be requested until students have understood the conditions explained in this teaching guide and/or have consulted the teaching staff with any possible doubts.

Attendance in the 5-hour large group sessions and all seminars is mandatory. Attendance in these sessions will be recorded and this record will be used to calculate the % of attendance for the subject. Strudents must attend a minimum of 80% of the hours of the sessions with attendance control. In the event of attendance below the minimums set, a grade of not assessable will be obtained until the pass is validated (if applicable) in the re-sit (see RE-SIT section). In all cases, to be entitled to the re-sit, it is necessary to have previously submitted 66% of the assessment activities (to calculate this %, the weight of each activity in the overall grade will be taken into account) with a minimum average grade of 3.5. The justifications that are sometimes presented in the event of absence serve only to explain the absence, in no case are they an exemption from attendance.

The assessment activities are the same and with the same weight as the continuous assessment, with the exception of group work, which will be presented individually in the event that it is not possible to form groups. The activities are, therefore: (1) Individual submission, in writing or in audiovisual format, of the solution to 3 problems, which will be different from those discussed in class; (2) Project carried out individually (or in a group if possible) on the contents of module 1 and individual oral presentation of this project; (3) Individual project (or group if possible) on the contents of module 2 and individual oral presentation of this project; (4) Individual written test on the contents of modules 1 and 2.

Each block of assessment activities must be passed separately in order to pass the subject overall. In the event that the grade for block 1 or 4 is between 4.5 and 5, RE-SIT can be avoided as long as the weighted average of the individual tasks in these two blocks is a pass (5). Otherwise,RE-SIT will be required.

The date of the single assessment is 05/26/26 for group 41, 06/05/26 for group 31, 06/08/26 for groups 21 and 71. All assignments and tests will be submitted on this day.

GLOBAL ASSESSMENT

Students who register for the subject for the second time can request global assessment. The conditions and dates will be the same as for single assessment, with no attendance requirement if this condition was already met the previous year. Global assessment must be requested in writing from the teacher responsible for the group in the first week of class.

RE-SIT

Both in the case of continuous assessment and in the case of single assessment, the following assessment activities can be re-taken: (1) Individual written or audiovisual submissions of the resolution of problems/cases discussed in class; (4) Individual written test on the contents of modules 1 and 2.

In the event that the grade for block 1 or 4 is between 4.5 and 5, RE-SIT may be avoided as long as the weighted average of the individual tasks (i.e. excluding the problem solved in pairs) of these two blocks is a pass (5). Otherwise, RE-SIT will be required.

The procedure for re-taking problems (block 1) will follow this protocol:

• If all problems have been submitted on time with an average grade for block 1 of at least 3.5, the re-take of the problems will consist in the written submission of the solution to a single global individual problem.
• If all the problems have not been submitted on time and/or a minimum average grade of 3.5 is not reached in block 1, the re-take of the problems will consist in the written submission of the solution to 2 individual problems, which will be different from the problems proposed in the ordinary evaluation process.

In both cases, the general guidelines for the re-take problems will bepublished on the last day of class. On the day of the re-sit, which will be in person in a exam format, the specific guidelines will be given.

The procedure for re-taking the written test will consist of an oral interview (in person) in which the student must answer as many questions as necessary to verify their degree of knowledge of the contents worked on in the subject.

The maximum grade for the recovered evaluation blocks is 5 out of 10. That is, during the recovery period, the previous grades of blocks (1) and/or (4) will not be taken into account when calculating the average of the recovered block.

The following are not eligible for re-sit: (1) Submission in pairs of the solution to problem 2; (2) Project carried out in small groups (or individually in the case of single or global assessment) on the contents of module 1 and individual oral presentation of this project; (3) Project carried out in small groups (or individually in the case of the single or global assessment) on the contents of module 2 and individual oral presentation of this project.

In the event of attendance below 80%, an additional individual assignment will be required that must be submitted in writing and orally (in person) during the re-take period (in addition to the other retrievable tasks). The maximum overall grade for the subject in this case will be 5 out of 10. The contents and criteria for this assignment will be published on the last day of class.

The RE-SIT in all cases is in person and will take place on the following dates: 06/16/26 for group 41, 06/26/26 for group 31, and 06/29/26 for groups 21 and 71. The written part of the assignment compensating for low attendance must be submitted before 23:59 on the day of the re-sit.

APPLICABLE TO ALL ASSESSMENT MODALITIES

In order to pass the subject, the student must demonstrate good general communication skills, both orally and in writing. In all activities (individual and group), linguistic correction, writing skills and formal aspects of presentation will therefore be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or failed if it is deemed not to meet these requirements. Students in groups 21, 31 and 41 must demonstrate a good oral and written command of the Catalan and Spanish languages (level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference) and a basic instrumental command (level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference) of the English language. Students ingroup 71 must demonstrate that they have achieved in English the objectives identified by the descriptors of level C1 of the CEFR, both in everyday situations and in the academic field. Inclusive language uses will be taken into account.

It will also be necessary to demonstrate basic academic, personal and professional skills, such as punctuality, collaboration, respect and consistency in work.

According to UAB regulations, copying or plagiarism, both in the case of assignments and in the case of exams, can result in failing the subject. The copied or plagiarised assessment activity will be penalised with a score of zero and will lead to the loss of the possibility to sit for the re-take. An assignment, activity or exam will be considered to be "copied" when it reproduces all or part of the work of a peer. An assignment or activity will be considered "plagiarised" when part of another author's text is presented as one's own without citing its source, regardless of whether the original source is in paper or digital format. The reproduction of materials (notes, slides, etc.) made available to students by teachers is also considered plagiarism. Likewise, the copying or possession of documents or devices for copying in exams will be reason for failure.

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches and the correction of written texts (blocks 1, 2 and 3 of the assessment). Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated with 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. The final result of the tasks must reflect a significant contribution by the students in the analysis and personal reflection. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in assessable activities or the lack of originality of the results will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a total penalty (grade of 0) in the grade of the activity.

All submissions of written assignments be done through the Virtual Campus. Submissions will not be accepted by any other means (email or others).

The teaching staff will mark assessment activities in a maximum of 20 work days.

A grade of not assessed will be obtained if 1) 66% of the assessment activities are not submitted and therefore the student has no right to re-sit, 2) 80% of the classes are have not been attended and a pass grade is not been obtained by validating assessment taken in the re-sit period. In all other cases a numerical grade will be assigned.
