The subject will involve three types of training activities:
1) Guided activities: theoretical and practical classes (case studies).
2) Supervised activities: debates, questions, discussions and exchanges of opinions in class, which may be
proposed by teachers or the result of student concerns or interventions.
3) Autonomous activities: readings, study of sources, assignments (see Assessment) and preparation for the final exam.

The evaluation will consist of three parts:

1) Exercises on Egyptian chronology: 25%. Group work.

2) Bibliographic review of one of the 4 compulsory readings: 25%.

3) Two exams: 50% (25% + 25%).

Activities 1 and 2 will be delivered in doc or pdf format and must conform to the following editing parameters: TypeTimes New Roman font 12 pt; simple line spacing; default margins; full name and NIU top right.

Students will be required to take four compulsory readings throughout the semester. To carry out activity 2 they will have to choose one.

To pass the subject you must pass the exams. The minimum grade to be considered passed is a 5.

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.

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.

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 areview will take place.

Students will obtain a “Not assessed/Not submitted” course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items. To participate in the recovery exam, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade. The recovery exam will consist of a single examination covering all the theoretical contents taught in the course.

Erasmus and exchange students who request to advance an exam must present a document from their home university justifying their request.

Use of AI

This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.

This subject does incorporate single assessment.

The evaluation will consist of three parts:

1) Exercises on Egyptian chronology: 25%.

2) Bibliographic review of one of the 4 compulsory readings: 25%.

3) Exam: 50%.

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. The same assessment method as 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. To participate in the recovery exam, students must have been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade.

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to asignificant 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.
