Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

There will be three types of assessment: A) written examination, B) laboratory practices and C) practices’ reports and production documents.

THE EVALUATION ACTIVITIES ARE:

A) Written exam, 30% in the final grade.

Project-based learning (PBL) will be implemented, which consists of the design, preparation and elaboration of an audiovisual project with several deliveries from different parts of the project with feedback and the possibility of improving these deliveries. This project will be developed throughout the course through various evaluable activities of analysis and audiovisual creation that consist of:

B) Laboratory practices, 40% in the final grade.

C) Practical activities’ reports, production documents, 30% in the final grade.

Students need to be evaluated on the different parts of the course to get a final grade. The final grade will be the result of the weighted sum of the partial grades.

No average mark will be made if the grade of any evaluation activity is lower than 5.

Single-assessment system

This course does not provide for a single-assessment system.

 Re-evaluation

 Students will be entitled to the re-evaluation of the subject. They should present a minimum of activities that equals two-thirds of the total grading.

 The practices are excluded from the re-evaluation process (competencies and skills not acquired throughout the course can hardly be achieved in a couple of weeks).

 Students who have participated in the ordinary evaluation and fail may recover the grade ifthey have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5.

 Even if the students achieve a mark higher than 7 in a re-evaluation activity, their maximum mark in this activity will be a 7.

 Second Enrolment

In the case of a second enrollment, students may take a synthesis exam/assignment consisting of two parts: 1) an individual written exam with theoretical and practical questions, 2) and the submission of two audiovisual products, which will be previously assigned by the professor and must be submitted on the same day as the written exam. The final grade for the course will correspond to the grade obtained in the synthesis exam/assignment.

Not assessable

In this course, a student will be graded as not assessable if they do not attend or complete any of the scheduled assessment activities on the dates indicated in the course calendar, without a duly justified reason (such as illness with a medical certificate, the death of a close family member, a court summons, or other similar situations properly documented).

Plagiarism

In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0

Artificial Intelligence

For this course, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, proofreading, or drafting texts that will later be edited and improved by the student. The use of AI-generated audio and video is also allowed in non-significant parts of audiovisual projects, such as visual or sound transitions, decorative elements, or representations of situations that would be difficult to record without advanced audiovisual resources. These materials must not replace the main content or the student’s analytical contributions, and students must ensure they hold the rights to use them and comply with current intellectual property regulations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this graded activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
