Assessment
There will be continuous assessment for this course, but with an option for single assessment.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools or will offer them feasible alternatives.
ESSENTIAL COURSE CONTENT TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS (35%)
Different activities, assignments or tasks evaluating key course material after each section will be obligatory to pass the course. A minimum grade (5) will have to be obtained for each of these tasks. In the case of obtaining a lower grade than 5, the student can ask to be reevaluated in June.
GROUP ASSIGNMENT (45%)
There is a required group assignment for this course, the assessment of which will include several written submissions and an oral presentation. A minimum grade (4) is required for the group assignment in order to pass the course and no re-evaluation is accepted beyond the established presentation period.
CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION (20%)
There will be different tasks and/or reading assignments related to activities in the classroom. These tasks will not be obligatory, and they cannot be reevaluated after the established evaluation period.
The single assessmentoption will consist of three parts:
- A written project (45%), related to music management
- Oral defence of the project (10%).
- Different tasks and assignments (with a total of 45%), related to each section of the course, that will be obligatory and need a passing grade. A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 is needed for each task.
The same re-evaluationassessment method as for the re-evaluation of the continuous assessment will be used.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
Any additional details regarding assessment and other details of the course will be published on the moodle page of the course at the beginning of the semester.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment 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.
For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. Students must clearly identify which sections were generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and final results of this activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in an assessable activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty, which may result in a partial or total penalty in the activity grade, or greater sanctions.
Those who have not taken any of the two theoretical tests will be considered \"not assessed\".
Marks revision in the professor bureau in the scheduled date.
Erasmus and exchange students who request to advance an exam must present a document from their home university justifying their request.
