Evaluation
Partial written tests 50%
Classroom practices 30%
Coursework 20%
Continued avaluation:
50% Two scheduled partial written tests (25% + 25%): may include summary questions, comments on texts and other documents from the moodle classroom (charts, graphs, maps, images...), class or course bibliography .
30% Class exercises (comments on maps, texts, course readings...).
20% Completion of assignments, essays, reviews or summaries, with a specific delivery date.
Class practices do not require scheduling or advance notice. Internships not completed due to lack of student attendance cannot be made up. Students who do not pass the grade of 3.5 points in the weighting of all continuous assessment activities scheduled throughout the course will be graded with a Not Assessable, and will not be able to present themselves for recovery.
Single assessment:
It will consist of a written test (40% of the grade); oral test (30% of the mark); and a course work (30% of the grade). The written test and the oral exam will be held in the same session. The recovery of the single assessment will be carried out in the same way as the continued one (same test, same day and time and classroom). Students who do not pass the grade of 3.5 points in the weighting of all assessment activities scheduled will be graded with a Not Assessable, and will not be able to present themselves for recovery.
Generally:
On Plagiarism: If a student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant alteration in the grade of an assessment, that assessment will be graded with a 0, regardless of any disciplinary process that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in assessments of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the development of assignments, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must: (i) identify which parts were generated using AI; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in a grade of 0 for the activity, with no possibility of resubmission, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.
The recovery will consist of a globalexamination of the subject matter and will be held on the official dates established by the Faculty. Under no circumstances can recovery be considered as a means of improving the grade of students who have already passed the subject in the normal continuous assessment process. The maximum grade that can be obtained in the recovery is 5.0 (Passed).
This course applies a policy on spelling and syntactic accuracy. A penalty of 0.1 points will be deducted from the final grade for each error, up to a maximum of 1.5 points deducted from the final grade of each assessed activity. Repeated errors will be penalized.
At the time of completion/delivery of each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform (moodle classroom, institutional email) of the procedure and date of review of the qualifications.
Particular cases of follow-up of the subject will be taken into account and will receive specific treatment, especially students included in the PIUNE program.
Our University does not accept any discrimination against teachers or students based on criteria of ethnicity, language, nationality, religion, sex, age or functional diversity. In the class we will try to maintain an atmosphere of shared respect for all differences.
