The assessment of the course will be carried out throughout the academic year through various individual and group activities. In order to pass the course, students must submit the established assessment evidence and complete the corresponding self-assessment, peer-assessment and teacher-assessment activities. Students who do not submit any of the assessment evidence established throughout the course will be considered “not assessed”.
All assignments and assessable activities must be submitted exclusively through the Virtual Campus, within the deadlines established in the course schedule. Late submissions or submissions by email will not be accepted, except in duly justified and documented cases, which must be communicated to the teaching staff.
In order to pass this course, students must demonstrate, in the activities proposed, good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, as well as a good command of the language or languages of instruction specified in the course guide.
The following assessment activities will be carried out throughout the course: the activity “My everyday life, our everyday life” must be submitted on 15/02/2027; Reading Seminar Worksheet 1, on 22/02/2027; the Ritual Proposal, on 01/03/2027; Reading Seminar Worksheet 2 and the activity Ritual A, B, C, on 15/03/2027; the Report on language development strategies, on 05/04/2027; and Reading Seminar Worksheet 3, the activity Ritual D, F and E, if there is a group E, and the individual peer assessment, on 12/04/2027.
The individual peer assessment will be part of the Seminar 3 activity and will take place on 12/04/2027. This activity will make it possible to assess each student’s participation, involvement and individual contribution within the work carried out.
The written test, an individual assessment activity, will take place on 07/06/2027 and will assess students’ theoretical understanding of the course content. The text analysis activity, also an individual assessment activity, will be developed in three practical seminars, with submissions scheduled for 22/02/2027, 15/03/2027 and 12/04/2027.
At the same time, group practical activities will be carried out, with submissions scheduled for 01/03/2027, 15/03/2027, 05/04/2027 and 12/04/2027. These activities will allow students to apply the knowledge acquired and develop professional competences through cooperation and applied work. Likewise, the design of a learning situation, as an integrative group activity, must be submitted and presented on 24/05/2027.
The teaching staff will provide feedback on the assessment evidence within a maximum of 20 working days of the academic calendar. Students who wish to review their mark must do so within 15 days following its publication, during the established tutorial hours.
Students should bear in mind that they will have the opportunity to recover the subject matter by taking a written recovery test, with a maximum mark of 5 (five).
Copying and plagiarism are forms of intellectual theft and therefore constitute an offence that will be sanctioned with a mark of zero in the entire block in which the work is located. In cases of copying between two students, if it is not possible to determine who copied from whom, the sanction will be applied to both students.
A piece of work, activity or exam will be considered “copied” when it reproduces all or a significant part of another student’s work.
A piece of work or activity will be considered “plagiarised” when part of an author’s text is presented as one’s own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are in paper or digital format. The UAB documentation on “plagiarism” can be consulted at: http://wuster.uab.es/web_argumenta_obert/unit_20/sot_2_01.html
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution by the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these tools have influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may result in a penalty in the activity grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
All assessable activities will be subject to formal criteria, including spelling, writing and presentation. Before submitting any learning evidence, students must ensure that in-text citations and bibliographical references have been correctly written according to APA 7th edition guidelines.
Several assessment activities, both individual and group-based, will be carried out throughout the course.
The activities that may be recovered are the written test, which accounts for 30% of the final grade, and the design of the learning situation, which accounts for 25% of the final grade. This guarantees the possibility of recovering up to 55% of the total course grade. The recovery date is 21/06/2027.
