The learning of this subject by the students is distributed as follows: 

• 30% of directed activities

 These directed activities must be guided by a predetermined time schedule, which requires the classroom management of a teacher.

 • 15% of supervised activities

 Supervised activity is understood as the one that the teacher schedules for students to work autonomously, under the supervision of the teacher. These activities help prepare and review the tasks that students perform throughout the course.

 • 50% of autonomous activities

 Such activities take account of the hours devoted to study and production of papers, in group or individually, by the students.

 • 5% evaluation activities

 The teacher will evaluate this subject on an ongoing basis by performing mandatory marked activities.

1. Continuos assessment

In order to pass the course, students must carry out the following evaluable activities and achieve a grade average equal to or greater than 5.0:

1. One or more text analysis exercises of different types.

2. Linguistic-textual analysis using corpora or other tools.

3. Oral presentation (group activity).

4. Submission of a portfolio of exercises and essays completed in class or during the semester as part of the course.

In the evaluation of the activities, teachers will consider the degree of skills obtained, according to the expected learning outcomes established in the guide. In order to pass the subject, it is essential to master the Spanish norm; therefore, when evaluating the aforementioned activities, spelling errors, the incorrect use of punctuation marks, lexical and morphosyntactic errors will be penalized according to the following indications:

1.a 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.

1.b Missed/failed assessments 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.

1.c Classification as “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.

1.d Misconduct in assessment activities

Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student sinvolved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject.

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. A lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in graded assignments will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty on the assignment grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation, non-authorised used of AI) are excluded from recovery.

2. 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 Faculty of Translation and Interpreting. Students must make an online request within the period established by the faculty and send a copy to the teacher 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. The Academic Management Office will publish the exact date and time on the faculty website. On the day of the single assessment, teaching staff will ask the student for identification, which should be presented as a valid identification document with a recent photograph (student card, DNI/NIE or passport).

Single assessment activities

On the day of the single-assessment exam, students who have chosen this assessment method must submit the following evaluative activities:

1. One or more text analysis exercises of different types (40%).

2. A linguistic-textual analysis assignment using a corpora or other tools (40%).

3. A portfolio of exercises and essays completed as part of the course (10%).

In addition, students must present on a topic from the course, which they will have previously agreed upon with the instructor, during the exam (10%).

Grade revision and resit procedures are the same as those for continual assessment. See the section above in this study guide.
