| Written test I | 45% | 1.5 | 0.06 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 |

If a student commits any irregularity that could significantly alter the grade for a specific assessment activity, that activity will be assigned a grade of 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may ensue. If multiple irregularities occur across assessment activities for the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.
If assessments cannot be conducted in person, their format will be adapted—without changing their weighting—to the capabilities of UAB’s virtual tools. Homework, activities, and class participation will be handled via forums, wikis, exercise discussions on Teams, etc. The instructor will ensure student access to these resources or provide accessible alternatives.
Students will receive a grade of "Not Assessed" if they have submitted 30% or less of the required assessment activities.
At the time each assessment activity takes place, the instructor will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for grade reviews.
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: Continuous assessment will consist of two exams: a first final practical exam covering the ancient ceramics section (45%) and an assessment of class participation (10%); and a second exam covering the numismatics section (45%).
AI Prohibited use: Strictly prohibited at all stages. Use results in a non-recoverable zero for a lack of academic honesty.
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
