Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Assessment

This subject does not incorporate the single-assessment option.

• 80% of the final mark will correspond to two written exams in the middle and the end of the term (25% and 30%, respectively) and an oral exam at the end (25%). The pass mark for all exams is 5 out of 10. 
• 10% of the final mark corresponds to one or two assignments, which may include a mock oral exam and another assignment to be determined.
• The remaining 10% will correspond to homework exercises, practical exercises done in class, class participation, and homework-based quizzes.

Exact dates for all evaluation activities will be confirmed at the start of the course through a course calendar published on the class Moodle.

Note:

• All the assignments and tests are COMPULSORY.
• To pass the course, the following conditions need to be fulfilled:
• The final written exam and the oral exam need to be passed.
• The combination of the marks of the two written exams needs to average out to a 5 out of 10, or higher, with the condition that the midterm written exam has a mark of at least 4 out of 10.
• The course average, taking all assessment items into account, should be at least a 5 out of 10.
• A final mark of “No avaluable” (Not assessed/Not submitted) can only be obtained if the student has completed a maximum of one exam and the assignment. Therefore, the completion of two exams excludes the possibility of obtaining the “No avaluable”.
• The students’ command of English will be taken into account when marking all exercisesand for the final mark.
• This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
• IMPORTANT: Partial or totalplagiarizing will immediately result in a FAIL (0) for the plagiarized exercise. Repeated instances of plagiarism will result in a FAIL (0) of the whole subject. PLAGIARISING consists ofcopyingtext from unacknowledged sources –whether this is part of a sentence or a whole text– with the intention of passing it off asthe student’s own production. It includes cutting and pasting from internet sources, presented unmodified in the student’s own text. Plagiarizing is a SERIOUS OFFENCE. Students must respect authors’ intellectual property, always identifying the sources they may use; they must also be responsible for the originality and authenticity of their own texts.
• In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation  in the grade awarded to anassessment 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. Irregularities refer, for instance, to copying in an exam, copying from sources without indicating authorship, or a misuse of AI. These evaluation activities will not be re-assessed.
• If a student misses a test or an assignment for a justified reason (e.g., an illness), the student will need to provide evidence of that justification in order to opt for a make-up test or assignment.
• If an Erasmus exchange student cannot be present on the date of a final exam due to a scheduling conflict related to their home university and wants to request an earlier examination date, they will need to submit a written document orletter from their home university in order to justify their request.
