It is important to bear in mind the basic academic rules on how to cite and avoid plagiarism (https://www.uab.cat/doc/GuiaCitesiPlagiEstudiants).

 

EXAM SCHEDULE AND ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION

The dates for exams and assignment submissions will be communicated to students well in advance and cannot be modified on an individual basis (except in exceptional cases and always with proper justification).
Erasmus students requesting to take an exam earlier must present the instructor with a written document from their home university justifying their request.
The date of the resit exam will be set by the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts and cannot be changed.

 

SINGLE EVALUATION

The single assessment system is not foreseen in the subject area.

 

REEVALUATION

There will be recovery of all those activities presented that have not exceeded 5.
The recovery of the theory exam will be in the form of an exam.
The recovery of the rest of the evaluable activities will consist of redoing the evidence.
The recovered activities will be graded between 0 and 5.
Thenon-recoverable evaluative activities are the activities resulting from the field trips and the activities carried out in the classroom.
The evaluation reports in which there have been irregularities are not recoverable.

REVIEWING GRADES

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

 

NOT ASSESSED/NOT SUBMITTED

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.

 

PLAGIARISM

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.

 

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Prohibited use: this course does not foresee the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in any of its phases. Any work that includes generalised AI fragments will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a partial or full penalty of the course grade, or higher penalties in cases of seriousness.
