Assessment:

• Written midterm exams: 50%
• Classroom practical activities: 20%
• Course assignments: 30%

Continuous Assessment:

50% Two scheduled written midterm exams (25% + 25%): these may include synthesis questions, commentaries on texts and other materials available on the Moodle platform (charts, graphs, maps, images, etc.), class content, or course bibliography.

20% Classroom practical activities (map commentaries, text analyses, course readings, etc.).

30% Completion of assignments, essays, reviews, or summaries, with specific submission deadlines.

1.- Classroom practical activities do not require prior scheduling or notice. Activities missed due to student absence cannot be made up.

2.- In cases of documented chronic or acute illness, students are entitled to postpone practical and/or written midterm assessments within the limits allowed by the academic calendar. In such cases, requests for a change of date or time must be submitted at least seven days in advance, together with the relevant supporting documentation. When the reason is an unforeseen force majeure circumstance, regulations allow the request to be submitted after the scheduled assessment date, provided that supporting documentation is submitted within a maximum of three working days. This includes, for example, childbirth or adoption, or the death of a spouse/partner or a relative up to the second degree. In cases of illness or other circumstances, documentation must clearly demonstrate that the student was unable to sit the assessment on the scheduled date and time. The instructor reserves the right to consider circumstances other than those listed above.

3.- Students who do not achieve a minimum weighted score of 3.5 points across all continuous assessment activities scheduled throughout the course will not be eligible to take the resit examination.

General Regulations:

1.- Plagiarism: If a student commits any irregularity that may significantly affect the grade of an assessment activity, that activity will be graded 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in assessment activities for the same course, the final course grade will be 0.

2.- Use of Artificial Intelligence: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage of this course. Any work containing AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will receive a grade of 0, with no possibility of resubmission or recovery, and may result in more severe sanctions in serious cases.

3.- Academic Misconduct: If a student commits any irregularity that may significantly affect the grade of an assessment activity, that activity will be graded 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If multiple irregularities occur in assessment activities for the same course, the final course grade will be 0.

4.- Resit Examination: The resit assessment will consist of a comprehensive examination covering all course content and will be held on the official dates established by the Faculty. Under no circumstances may the resit be used to improve the grade of students who have already passed the course through the regular continuous assessment process. The highest grade obtainable in the resit examination is 5.0 (Pass).

5.- Spelling and Grammar Policy: This course applies regulations regarding spelling and grammatical accuracy. A penalty of 0.1 points will be deducted from the final grade for each error, up to a maximum deduction of 1.5 points from the final grade of each assessment activity. Repeated errors are also penalized.

6.- Grade Review Procedure: At the time each assessment activity is completed or submitted, the instructor will inform students (via Moodle and/or institutional email) of the procedure and date for reviewing grades.

7.- Special Circumstances: Individual cases requiring specific arrangements will be taken into consideration and receive appropriate treatment, particularly students enrolled in the PIUNE support program.

8.- Not Assessable Status: A student will receive a grade of “Not Assessable” (NA) if they have submitted no more than 30% of the assessment activities.

9.- Non-Discrimination Policy: Our University does not tolerate discrimination against faculty or students on the basis of ethnicity, language, nationality, religion, sex, age, or disability. We will work to maintain a classroom environment of mutual respect that values all differences.
