The various case studies will be addressed through suggested readings and active discussions. The teaching team will indicate the theoretical and methodological lines to be followed in each case study. Students will be expected to participate actively.

Continuous assessment

Students must provide evidence of their progress by completing various tasks and tests. These activities are detailed in the table at the end of this section of the Study Guide.

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.

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.

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 involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.

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 anonline 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

Single assessment will include a minimum of three assessment activities of different typology, 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 study guide.

Use of AI tools

In this course, the authorized use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will vary depending on the activity. The permitted and prohibited uses in each case will be detailed in the course presentation. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated or assisted through these technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they have influenced both the preparation process and the final outcome of the activity. Students assume full responsibility for their use of AI and for the authorship of the work submitted. A lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in any assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a partial or full penalty in the grade for that activity, as well as more serious sanctions in severe cases. In written assignments, the inclusion of non-existent bibliographic sources, resulting from hallucinations by AI models, or of references containing serious errors will result in a grade of zero for that activity.
