CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Evidence 1 and 2: To pass the course, students must take two partial exams (during the 1st and 2nd assessment periods; on-site exams). Each of these exams accounts for 40% of the final grade (40% + 40% = 80%). The exams will be individual, written, and consist of multiple-choice questions.

Evidence 3: The average grade from the group activities conducted in the practical class (weeks 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, and 15; brief on-site reports) accounts for 20% of the final grade. Students must submit at least 4 reports to be eligible for evaluation.

To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum average grade of 5.0 across all three types of evidence. The student will only be able to pass if they have submitted all three pieces of evidence and have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 in both Evidence 1 and Evidence 2.

A student who does not submit all pieces of evidence and does not obtain at least 3.5 in both EV1 and EV2 will not pass the course, even if the overall average grade is equal to or higher than 5.0.

Any student who has submitted learning evidence weighing 40% or more of the total grade cannot be marked as "not assessable."

 

Resit

Students may be eligible for the resit if, during continuous assessment, they have submitted evidence weighing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total grade, and have obtained an overall grade below 5.0 but equal to or higher than 3.5. The resit will take place in weeks 19 or 20.

The resit will consist of a written exam (or several written exams if multiple pieces of evidence need to be recovered) covering the evidence in which performance was unsatisfactory, in order to demonstrate mastery of the minimum required content to pass the course. It is mandatory to pass this/these exam(s) to pass the course.

The maximum grade that can be obtained from resit exams is 5.0, which will replace the grade of the recovered evidence(s) (only if they werepreviously 4.9 or lower) and will be used to recalculate the final grade. If the new final grade is higher than 4.9, the course will be considered passed. If the recovered evidence is not passed or the recalculated final grade is still below 5.0, the original grade before the resit will remain as the final grade.

However, the maximum final grade that can be obtained from the resit process is "Pass" (5.0).

 

Attendance

Attendance at seminars (PLAB and SEM) is mandatory.

 

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

In this course, students may choose to be evaluated in a single assessment session, covering all course content. This option must be requested within the deadlines established by the Faculty.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT MUST BE REQUESTED ONLINE (via e-form) DURING THE SPECIFIED PERIOD (more information is available on the Faculty’s website).

The single assessment will consist of:

• Two oral exams, one on Acquisition content and one on Processing content (each counting for 40% of the final grade),
• Two case-based exercises, equivalent to the course’s practical components (combined 20% of the final grade).

These assessments will take place during the second assessment period of the semester.

If a student fails any of these assessments, they may retake them during the resit period, under the same conditions as students following the continuous assessment system (see "Resit" section).

 

Faculty Assessment Guidelines

https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/avaluacions-1345722525858.html

Students enrolled for a second or subsequent time are not eligible for evaluation through a single, non-recoverable synthesis exam.

 

Important

Exams will be in Catalan. If a studentwishes to take the exams in Spanish and meets the requirements established in Article 263, they must submit the request during Week 4 via an online form (more information on the Faculty’s website). Requests will not be accepted in other cases or outside the established period.

Feedback

• For EV1, general feedback will be given orally in class, and, upon request, also during an individual tutorial after grades have been published.
• For EV2, feedback will be available upon request, given orally and individually after grades have been published.
• For EV3, feedback will be provided either through a digital platform or orally in class, depending on the session, usually one or two weeks after each session.

Use of AI

Use of AI is strictly prohibited. In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed at any stage of any activity. Any work that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty on the grade, or more serious disciplinary action in severe cases.
