During the 2026–27 academic year, the two groups of English Grammar II from the English Studies degree will follow a flipped classroom approach. That is, students in these groups will learn about the basic theoretical content at home (mainly through readings) before the face-to-face class session. Classroom time will be devoted to practice, collaborative work, and application of concepts. As such, classroom time will be highly participatory and interactive.

On the other hand, during the 2026–27 academic year, the groups of English Grammar II in the Combined Degrees will follow a traditional methodology, in which face-to-face classes will be more lecture-based, and practice and application of content will mainly take place autonomously.

Directed activities:

• Practical exercises (individual and in group)
• Lectures with IT support and group debate

Supervised activities:

• Exercises
• Back-up tutorials

Autonomous activities:

• Reading of manuals and textbooks
• Elaboration of study diagrams and summaries of texts
• Practical exercises (individual and in group)
• Use of the Virtual Campus (Moodle)

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.

• This course is assessed through a midterm exam, a final exam, and an oral presentation. Class attendance and participation is taken into account.
• Feedback and grades will be communicated within a maximum of three weeks of each assessment item.
• In order for the course average to be calculated, students must obtain a score of 3.5 or higher in the final exam. Failure to meet this requirement will result in the student having to take the re-assessment exam (provided the conditions to do so are met).
• The dates of tests and submissions are specified in the course calendar, published in Moodle at the beginning of the semester. Any change will be duly announced.
• Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
• In case of absence on the day of an exam (e.g., due to illness) students must provide a certificate to justify their absence to gain the right to re-assessment.
• This subject/module does not provide for a single assessment system.
• In accordance with the UAB Academic Regulations (article 266.4), if a student obtains a final continuous assessment grade of 4.9, this will be rounded up to 5 and the student will not need to sit the re-assessment.

Review of assessment items:

On carrying out each assessment 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.

Re-assessment:

The final continuous assessment average will be communicated to students at least 72 hours before the re-assessment exam. Re-assessment for this subject will involve a final overall test assessing the complete (i.e., 100% of the) course. The mark obtained in the re-assessment exam will be the final mark for the course. The date and time will be announced by the Faculty. The following conditions apply:

• Having obtained a minimum course mark of 3.5/10.
• Having been assessed in activities representing at least two thirds (2/3) of the total continuous assessment grade.
• Having passed at least 35% of the course.

VERY IMPORTANT:

• 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. Irregularities refer, for instance, to copying in an exam, copying from sources without indicating authorship, or a misuse of AI such as presenting work as original that has been generated by an AI tool or programme. These evaluation activities will not be re-assessed.
• This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies to generate text. Any submitted work that contains text generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty and will thus receive a score of zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
• Exchange students who request to sit an exam early must provide the lecturer with a written document from their home university justifying their request.
