The following methodologies will be combined:

• Punctual translation troubleshooting (PBL).
• Carrying out tasks related to the application of some theoretical aspect of translation.
• Carrying out tasks related to translation quality control.
• Cooperative learning techniques: translation management simulation exercise (collective translation).
• Sight translation exercises.
• Conduct a condensed translation.
• Translation correction exercises.
• Tasks to critique published translations: comment on mistakes and successes.
• Oral presentation of a group translation project (translation management).
• Use of virtual campus tools.
• Use of technological and multimedia resources: practice of searching for documentation relating to the historical, artistic, ideological and cultural context of the texts.
• Oral presentation on topics related to the world of work of the general translator: institutional translation, publishing, etc.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Information regarding assessment is subject to possible changes. At the start of this course, the lecturer will set out the assessment activities and the relevant deadlines in a document accessible via the virtual campus.

Continuous assessment

Assessment is continuous. Students must provide evidence of their progress by completing various tasks and tests. Tasks and tests deadlines will be indicated in the course schedule on the first day of class. The information on assessment activities and their weighting is a guide. The subject's lecturer will provide full information when teaching begins.

Review

When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.

Missed/failed assessment activities

Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.

The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity, or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for.

Should a student opt for this procedure, the highest mark they may achieve will be a 5.

Consideration of "not assessable"

In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.

Misconduct in assessment activities

Any irregularity committed during an assessment (academic fraud, plagiarism, or misuse of AI, unless expressly authorized in the course syllabus) that could lead to a significant change in the grade will result in a grade of 0 for that assessment. If multiple irregularities occur during assessments for the same course, the final grade for that course will be 0. Furthermore, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any individual who commits any of these irregularities.

Assessment activities that have been failed due to an irregularity are excluded from the possibility of being retaken.

In the event of a possible irregularity, the lecturer may invite the student to an interview, which will be regarded as supplementary assessment evidence.

Single assessment

This subject may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB and the assessment criteria of the FTI. Students must make an online request within the period established by the Faculty and send a copy to the lecturer responsible for the subject for the record. Single assessment will be carried out in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. Gestió Acadèmica will publish the exact date and time on the Faculty's website. On the day of the single assessment, the lecturer will request identification from students, who must present a valid identity document with a recent photograph (student ID card, DNI/NIE or passport).

Single assessment will include a minimum of three assessment activities of different types, as stated in the evaluation guidelines. Grade revision and resit procedures for the subject are the same as those for continual assessment (see the section above in this guide).

Us of AI tools

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies may or may not be permitted, depending on the activity. The permitted and prohibited uses in each case will be detailed in the course introduction. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using AI technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Misuse or inappropriate use of AI tools, as well as a lack of transparency regarding their use, will be considered a serious misconduct.
