CONTINUOUS ASSESMENT

1.Work module: 30% (individual or group assignments, written/oral)

2. Exams module (essay, commentary, test, etc.): Exam 1: 30%; Exam 2: 30%

3. Participation module (practical workshops, planned attendance at conferences or exhibitions, class participation, attendance at scheduled tutorials, etc.): 10%

The following will be assessed: knowledge acquired, mastery of the concepts and vocabulary specific to the discipline and subject studied; maturity, structure and formal correctness of texts written in exams, practical exercises and assignments; in the case of oral presentations: fluency of speech, relevance to the topic presented, structure of the presentation, materials used, correct use of time, etc.

-Assessment activities will be scheduled throughout the academic year. The dates for completing the activities and submitting assignments will be communicated to students well in advance. However, classroom activities do not require prior scheduling or notification. Practical work not completed due to student absence cannot be made up.

-If the teachers supervising the written exams deem it appropriate, they may require the students to prove their identity using their student ID card, national identity card, foreign resident's card or passport.

-Students will have the right to review their results. At the time of each assessment activity or submission, the instructor will inform students (via Moodle or SIA) of the procedure and date for grade review.

-Individual cases that, with due justification, require special consideration will be taken into account. However, the assessment schedule cannot be modified except in exceptional and duly justified circumstances. Furthermore, Erasmus students requesting to take an exam earlier must submit a written document from their home university to the instructor justifying the request.

-If a student commits any irregularity that could significantly affect the grade of an assessment activity, that activity will receive a grade of 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same subject, the final grade for the subject will be 0.

-In written assignments, spelling, syntax, and vocabulary errors will be penalized. Each error will result in a penalty of 0.1 points on the final grade. Repeated errors may result in a maximum penalty of 10% of the grade for the assignment.

-Students who cannot sufficiently satisfy the assessment criteria (less than 30% of the final grade) will be graded as not evaluable and will not be eligible to take the recovery exam.

-Any assessment task that is not completed or submitted will be graded as 0.

-In the event that the exams cannot be held in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining the same weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB's virtual tools. Assignments, activities, and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis, and/or exercise discussions via Teams, guaranteeing access for all students.

-This course allows the use of artificial intelligence as an additional tool, with the value of consulted bibliography, provided that the student specifies which parts of their work were carried out with its help and that it contributes significantly to the majority of the written work submitted.

SINGLE ASSESMENT

-This course offers the option of a single assessment. Students must formally request it during the period established by the Faculty.

-Students who opt for the single assessment will have to demonstrate that they have acquired the same skills as students who have opted for continuous assessment. Students who have opted for the single assessment must hand in the assignments and exercises (40% of the assessment) on the day appointed by the professor and take the written tests (60% of the assessment).

The following will be assessed: knowledge acquired, mastery of the concepts and vocabulary specific to the discipline and subject studied; maturity, structure and formal correctness of texts written in exams, practical exercises and assignments; in the case of oral presentations: fluency of speech, relevance to the topic presented, structure of the presentation, materials used, correct use of time, etc.

-At the time of completion/submission of all the single assessment material, the teaching staff will inform (Moodle, SEA) of the procedure and date for reviewing the grades.

-Students who cannot sufficiently satisfy the assessment criteria (less than 30% of the final grade) will be graded as not evaluable and will not be eligible to take the recovery exam.

-Any assessment task that is not completed or submitted will be graded as 0.

-Students who have chosen the single assessment must have submitted all the required assessment material and obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 in order to be eligible for the reassesment exam.

-In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant change in the grade for an assessment, this assessment will be graded as 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. In the event of several irregularities in the assessments for the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

-The same system used for continuous assessment will be applied to the reassessment.

REASSESMENT

In order to participate in the reassesment, students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities whose weight ratio is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total mark (CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT) or have taken all the scheduled tests (SINGLE ASSESSMENT)

.

-Students must have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 in the continuous assessment/single assessment to participate in the reassesment.

-The recovery exam will be held on the official dates established by the Faculty, once the teaching period has ended at the end of the semester and will consist of a comprehensive exam covering all the material studied in this subject.

The following will be assessed: knowledge acquired, mastery of the concepts and vocabulary specific to the discipline and subject studied, maturity, structure and formal correctness of the texts written in exams, practical exercises and assignments; in the case of oral presentations: fluency of speech, its relevance to the topic presented, the structure of the presentation, the materials used, the correct use of time, etc.

-Reassesment can not be used as a means for improving the grade of students who have already passed the course in the ordinary continuous assessment process. The maximum grade that can be obtained in the retake (and therefore for the course) is 5.0 (Pass).

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations.

The student must clearly:

(i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology;

(ii) especify the tools used;

(iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity.

Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
