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.

Note: The course content will be sensitive to issues related to gender perspective and the use of inclusive language.

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.

Continuous Assessment

Students must complete the following assessments throughout the course:

• Written language analysis and production exercises (25%)
• Oral language analysis and production exercises (25%)
• Reading comprehension test on mandatory readings (10%)
• Written exam on theoretical and descriptive course content (40%)

The specific characteristics of each exercise will be detailed during the course and can be consulted on the Virtual Campus. To pass the course, students must achieve a final grade of 5 or higher. The final grade will be calculated using the percentages indicated above. Students will receive a grade of \"Not Assessable\" if they have submitted less than 30% of the assessment activities. Those who have completed more than 30% will be graded according to the established weighting.

Resit Exam

Students who do not reach a final grade of 5 may take the resit exam, provided they have completed at least two-thirds of the assessment activities. Additionally, to be eligible for the resit, students must have obtained a minimum average grade of 3.5. Recovery exam only allows to reach a 5 on the final evaluation score.

Single Assessment

Students must complete the following assessments:

• Written language analysis and production exercises (25%)
• Oral language analysis and production exercises (25%)
• Reading comprehension test on mandatory readings (10%)
• Written exam on theoretical and descriptive course content (40%)

The date for the theoretical exams and submission of exercises will be announced on the Virtual Campus at the beginning of the course.

The conditions for passing and resitting the course are the same as those for students following continuous assessment.

Students on their second or further attempts

In the case of students on their second or further attempts, the teacher responsible for the subject can decide to assess them through a synthesis test.

Warnings

Spelling mistakes, as well as errors in punctuation, morphosyntax, and vocabulary, will be penalized with -0.2 points each. If there are more than 15 mistakes or grammatical errors, the test will be graded with a 0 and must be retaken during the resit period. Students may only resit a maximum of two assessments (out of the four total).

If a student commits any irregularity (copying, plagiarism, identity fraud, publishing assessment activities on any platform outside the UAB, use of artificial intelligence, etc.), the corresponding assessment will be graded with a 0. If multiple irregularities occur, the final grade for the course will be 0.

For this course, the use of non genearative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively when indicated so. Students must clearly identify any parts elaborated with these technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reffection on how AI has influenced the process and final outcome of the assignment. Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty to the assignment grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

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.
