The methodology used in the supervised activities combines lectures (for the exposition of the theoretical and descriptive contents of the course) with practical activities, which require the active participation of students individually and in groups. In the supervised activities the student will have to perform reading, analysis and synthesis of texts and documents of compulsory reading, as well as prepare and perform the work assigned by the professor. Students will have support materials in the Moodle of the subject and face-to-face tutorials.

A detailed schedule outlining the content of each session will be presented on the first day of the course and will be available on the course’s Virtual Campus, where students will find all teaching materials and necessary information for eƯective course monitoring. Should the teaching modality change for reasons of force majeure according to the competent authorities, the teaching staff will inform students of any modifications to the course schedule and teaching methodologies.

A detailed schedule outlining the content of each session will be presented on the first day of the course and will be available on the course’s Virtual Campus, where students will find the various teaching materials deemed appropriate by the instructors and necessary information for effective course monitoring.

Should the teaching modality change for reasons of force majeure according to the competent authorities, the teaching staff will inform students of any modifications to the course schedule and teaching methodologies.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The proposed teaching methodology and evaluation may undergo some modification depending on the restrictions imposed by the health authorities.

Continuous evaluation

The students will have to take the following tests throughout the course:

Practices of analysis and production of written language samples (25 %).

Practices of analysis and production of oral language samples (25 %).

The characteristics of each of the practices will be specified during the course and will be available on Moodle.

Comprehension test of the compulsory readings (10 %).

Written test on the theoretical and descriptive contents of the course (40 % of the grade).

In order to pass the course, all the tests must be taken and handed in by the established deadline. A final grade equal or higher than 5 must be obtained. To calculate the final grade, the percentages indicated above will be applied. In order to pass the course it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10 (except for theory) in the tests, provided that the sum of all evaluation activities is at least a 5. Students who have failed the theory test with less than a 3.5 must take the recovery. The recovery only allows access to a 5 in the final grade.

Students who have failed any of the activities will be allowed to take a maximum of two of the tests.

It will be considered \"Not evaluated\" when the student has completed only one of the practices/tests. The elaboration of more than one practice/test implies, therefore, the student's willingness to be evaluated in the subject and, therefore, its presentation to the evaluation.

In order to be entitled to the extraordinary review, the ordinary review must have been carried out.

For students taking the course for a second or subsequent time, the instructor responsible for the subject may decide to assess them via a comprehensive exam (Article 267.2 of the UAB academic regulations: https://www.uab.cat/web/lauab/itineraris/normatives/normativa-academica-1345668305783.html).

Single evaluation:

Students must take the following tests:

- Practices of analysis and production of samples of the written language (25%).

- Practical analysis and production of oral language samples (25%).

- Comprehension test of the compulsory readings (10%).

- Written test on the theoretical and descriptive contents of the course (40%).

The day of the theoretical tests and the delivery of the practicals will be indicated on Moodle at the beginning of the course.

The conditions to pass and revaluate the course are the same as those of the students who follow the continuous evaluation.

WARNINGS:

Spelling mistakes, as well as errors in punctuation, morphosyntax and lexis are penalized with -0.2 points each. With more than 15 spelling mistakes or grammatical errors the test will be considered failed with a 0 and must be repeated in the recovery. The student can take a maximum of two tests (out of the total of four).

The student will have the right to the recovery of the subject if he/she has been evaluated of the set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total grade of the subject.

The student who performs any irregularity (copying, plagiarism, impersonation, publication of evaluation activities in any external platform to the UAB ...) will be graded with 0 this act of evaluation. In case of several irregularities, the final grade of the course will be 0.

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage. Any assignment containing content generated by AI will be considered a breach of 5 academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

IRREGULARITIES: The performance of any irregularity in an evaluation act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized by the teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, assumes that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide foresees that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this evaluation act or that there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may 7 be instructed to the student that incurs any of these irregularities.

Any student suspected of submitting assignments that have been generated by AI, written by others or copied; include unattributed AI-generated content, or fall outside the permitted scope, may be asked to provide the preliminary work or other materials that can demonstrate it is original work and the result of their own authorship. They may also be asked to separately explain or justify their work. Teachers may also use AI detection systems or carry out any verification tasks they deem appropriate. If, after review, the instructor detects irregularities, the assignment may be graded zero, and the student may be subject to further disciplinary action.
