Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
The student will obtain "no presentat" only if he does not submit any activities for evaluation.
Single Assessment:
At the beginning of the course, we will clearly indicate the mechanisms and deadlines to apply for "Special Evaluation" ("avaluació única" in Catalan). Special evaluation replaces continuous assessment.
What is the Special Evaluation?
For the Special Evaluation there will be a final exam which will be divided into two parts (corresponding to test and flipped classroom) and which will be carried out in the exam period at the end of the semester. This exam is recoverable and in case of failing, students will have a second exam in the recovery period.
Minimum requirements to pass:
Per considerar superada l’assignatura, caldrà obtenir una qualificació mínima de 5.0
Mentorship
In order to ensure that every student is progressing well with the proposed activities, we will do a personalised follow-up in the classroom and via email.
Communication and interaction with students
Communication and interaction with the student is done directly in the face-to-face classes, which are weekly, and also using email and messages through the moodle of the course.
Design Amendment
Amendment of activities:
In the case that for reasons related to the coronavirus, the EPS and the UdG tell us that we must do the course in the online mode, then we will adapt all learning activities, so that they can be done from home and using telematic resources.
Amendment of the assessment:
In the case that for reasons related to the coronavirus, the EPS and the UdG tell us that we must do the course in the online mode, then all the evaluation activities of the course will be done in a non-presential way via online.
Mentoring and communication:
In order to ensure that every student is progressing well with the proposed activities, we will do a personalised follow-up via email.
