Weekly reading and discussion

Students will complete all weekly readings in advance of the class meeting and will take an active part in class discussions.

Blogging

Students will create their own blogging site in the first week of class. They will write blog posts in response to our weekly readings and class discussions that will be shared also on our course blog for the other students to read and comment on.

Main project

Students may work individually or in pairs. The project will be submitted according to the instructions and the deadlines provided by the teachers.

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.

Participation and blogging: 20%

Main project:

• DH component: 40%
• CALL component: 40%

Please note:

• This subject/module does not provide for the single assessment system.
• Students will obtain a not assessed/not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 30% of the assessment items.
• Erasmus and exchange students who request to advance an exam must present a document from their home university justifying their request.

Procedure for reviewing grades awarded

• On carrying out each evaluation 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.

Reassessment

• To be eligible for re-assessment, students must have completed assessment activities accounting for at least 2/3 of the total assessment.
• Only those students who have fulfilled all coursework requirements (participation and blogging) and have obtained between 3.5 and 4.8 (FAIL) as a provisional final grade and have passed either the DH component or the CALL component of the main project have a right to re-assessment.
• Re-assessment will be through a written examination on a date and time established by the Faculty. This exam will synthesize the essential contents of the subject as a whole.
• Specific items of course work will NOT be re-assessed, except where a student may have a justified absence (e.g., through illness, accredited by a doctor's note). Re-assessment is ONLY available to students who have failed initial assessment; it is NOT available to pass students simply wishing to improve their grade.

Plagiarism

• In accordance with current regulations, 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 example, to copying in an exam, copying from sources without indicating authorship, or improper use of AI. These evaluation activities are not recoverable.
• This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as those assignments for which the use of GenAI tools has the explicit permission of the instructor. In the case of subjects in a Modern Languages degree, use of translation must be specifically authorised by the teacher. Other specific situations may be contemplated, as deemed appropriate by the teacher. The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
