Grading Criteria for single-session evaluation

The single-session evaluation is an exceptional assessment system and must be explicitly requested, and the Faculty needs to give its approval.

For the single assessment, the student must complete the following exam tests on the specified days and times (see Exam and Retake Calendar).

Any student who fails one or more parts of the Avaluació Única Test can retake the failed part(s) on the scheduled dates for the resit exam (Examen de Recuperació) to reattempt to pass the course.

In the event a student fails one or more skills, after averaging, the highest possible mark given will be a 4/10.

Fraudulent Conduct
Any action intended to gain an unfair advantage in an assessment activity will be considered fraudulent conduct, including:
- Copying, in whole or in part, of coursework or examinations.
- Plagiarising texts, ideas, data or materials without proper citation.
- The use or possession of unauthorised devices or materials during assessments.
- Receiving unauthorised help from third parties.
- Impersonation or any other act that compromises academic integrity.
In accordance with the UdG regulations, fraudulent conduct will result in a failing (0) grade for the assessment in question, without prejudice to any possible disciplinary action that may be taken.

Verification of authorship
In cases where the teaching staff have doubts about the authorship of any assessment, the student may be summoned for a face-to-face or synchronous interview (which may be recorded), with the aim of verifying the student's knowledge and skills and ensuring the authenticity of the assessment. If it is not possible to guarantee that the student is the author of the test, it will be marked as failed.
