OBSERVACIÓ GLOBAL: La nota final de l'assignatura resultarà de la mitjana dels dos quadrimestres sempre que s'hagin aprovat tots dos. En la SEGONA CONVOCATÒRIA es farà un examen escrit i hi entrarà la matèria treballada durant el curs. Cada quadrimestre s'avaluarà de manera independent i per aprovar l'assignatura caldrà tenir-los aprovats tots dos amb nota mínima d'un 5 a cada part. PRIMER QUADRIMESTRE: Per poder aprovar el primer quadrimestre, caldrà obtenir un mínim de cinc en la prova de desenvolupament i en el comentari de text presencial. SEGON QUADRIMESTRE: - In order to pass the subject, you need to take all the tests as well as prepare and present the project. Failure to do so will result in you failing the whole subject and having to take the resit exam.
- If you pass all the course (with a minimum overall grade of 5) and attend classes regularly, you will not have to take the resit exam (segona convocatòria).
- Please note, however, that if your grade is lower than 3,5 on any of the parts of the subject (any of the tests or the project), you will have to take the resit exam in June.
For students who do not attend classes regularly: you will be asked to do the RESIT EXAM or SEGONA CONVOCATÒRIA. Si l'evolució de la situació sanitària requereix reduir la presencialitat, s'adaptarà l'avaluació perquè es pugui dur a terme d'acord amb les directrius que estableixin els organismes pertinents. Qualsevol modificació s'informarà mitjançant el fòrum de notícies del Campus Virtual (Moodle). |
