Qualificació

Students may opt to follow a final assessment (one final exam) or a continuous assessment
system (work and tests at specified times during the academic year). If the final result of the
Continuous Assessment is below 5 (the passing mark) students will take the final annual
exam (listening, reading, written & oral) in the official calendar date of “convocatòria
extraordinària” established by the University (June or July). Students coursing two or more
simultaneous subjects may have difficulties to opt for the continuous assessment of the
subjects in question.
Seminars are Cambridge writings, use of English and/or speakings and there are four. Skills
tests, four also, are readings and listening related to Cambridge material. All of them
announced previously in class.
Tests 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all of them about the grammar and vocabulary of the units worked in
class. The January and June exams are writings on the articles provided in each unit whose
links are always to be found on Moodle.
Skills tests and tests are independent tasks that will take place on the same day and will be
evaluated independently according to the percentages stated in this programme.
They may be prepared in advanced or the same day in class. On the other hand, the first
oral presentation will be about Green Marketing and the second about a Strategy Plan.
Students will be provided with some further guidelines on the subject.
By the 5th April 2018 at the latest, students with the intention of following the final
assessment must sign a document accepting its conditions. The student not signing the
document will be considered as a continuous-assessment student. Under no circumstances
will the document be signed after the date indicated.
By the 5th April 2018 at the latest, students retaking the subject will also have to sign a
document with the conditions of their choice. Under no circumstances will the document be
