Assessment
The evaluation will be based on three evidence types:
1) Attendance and active participation in class (10%)
2) Two written tests (35% + 35%)
3) Oral presentation (20%)
At the beginning of each evaluation activity, the teacher will inform the students about review of grade procedure and date. The minimum grade to pass the course is 5.
If a student has been evaluated of less than 2/3 of the total grade of the course, he will receive the consideration of “non-assessable”.
To qualify for the second-chance test, two conditions must be met: (1) the student must have been evaluated of at least 2/3 of the total grade of the course and (2) he must have a continuous evaluation mark between 3.5 and 4.9. The maximum second-chance test rating is 5. The second-change text will consist of a global test on the contents of the subject.
In the event that the student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant change in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded as 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be conducted. If several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage. Any assignment containing content generated by AI will be considered a breach of 5 academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
