Assessment comments |
- A "Non presentado" (Absent) grade will be obtained for not doing the supervised project and/or not completing 50% (or more) of the coursework.
- The second (July) opportunity of assessment will consist of two parts:
1) the supervised project (with identical format and criteria as in the first opportunity), which will be worth 50% of the grade; 2) the assignments that will compensate for missed or failed classwork, and which will be worth 50% of the grade. Depending on which assignments need to be made up, specific instructions on topics and assignments will be given. Students who must make up for all of this section (i.e., 50% of their grade) will turn in a review and a literary analysis. Both will be due by 14.00 h. on the official final exam date.
- Given that this is a blended learning course, attendance is mandatory, except when the student has been granted exemption by the master's Academic University Committee. Nonetheless, attendance regulations from the three participating universities must be observed, as well as the assesment regulations stated in the courses' Teaching Guides, and notwithstanding the consequences that absence from specific sessions might have for final assesment. Students who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations, will be assessed according to the criteria applied in the July opportunity.
- Students sitting the December exam (final exam brought forward) will be assessed according to the criteria specified for the July opportunity.
- Plagiarism will mean a grade of "zero" in the plagiarized assignment. Instructors may use the plagiarism-detection service "Turnitin" to check students' work.
- Every assignment must be turned in in time and in the specified format in order to avoid being penalized 25% of the grade in the assignment.
