Assessment comments | |||
The supervised essays of students will be assigned during the semester, when the topic of the essay is tackled in the classroom. The multiple choice questions as well as the short questions will be the two parts of a final examination. EVALUATION OF STUDENTS IN JULY (SECOND CHANCE EXAMINATION): In July Students will be evaluated on the basis of the same criteria and methodologies used in June: - New short questions about a legal or doctrinal text selected by the teacher on one of the course's topics - A new multiple choice examination covering most of the course's lessons and concepts. - Students shall keep the points assigned to them during the semester for exercises and essays (students that did not deliver these essays and exercises during the semester will NOT have a new opportunity to hand them over). PENALTY FOR COPYING AND PLAGIARISM: In the event that the teacher detects that a student has copied or plagiarised, or used an instrument of AI without openly disclosing it, for carrying out a part or the whole of an essay or exercise, this student shall be awarded no points for any exercises or essays delivered during the semester. Any student copying, trying to copy, or letting others copy in an exam will automatically be graded with the lowest possible mark (zero). STUDENTS WHO ARE EXEMPT FROM ATTENDING PRESENTIAL CLASSES (PART-TIME DEDICATION STUDENTS): These students shall be evauated and graded according to the same criteria as ordinary students. They are expected to follow the indications and messages sent to the whole class or published by the teacher on Moodle (Campus Virtual), so that they are also expected to deliver their essays and exercises under the same deadlines as the rest of their classmates. It is highly recommended for these students to ask for an appointment with the teacher at the beginning of the course. During this appointment the teacher will give them advice and ideas about the proper way of getting through the course successfully. |
