Failure to attend or deliver any of the evaluation activities will result in a mark of 0 for that activity.
The minimum mark to pass the subject is 5 out of 10.
For all evaluation activities, the use of AI tools is only allowed to improve spelling and grammar and the clarity of the written text, as well as for literature search. The used AI tools need to be explicitly cited.
Fraudulent activity (use of information without authorisation, use of false information, use of unauthorised devices, impersonation, total or partial plagiarism, AI misuse, purchase and sale of tests, practicums and assignments, ...) in any of the evaluation activities will result in failing the subject, independently from the disciplinary process that might follow against the offending student.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
The subject will only be qualified as "No presentat" when the student has not attended or delivered any of the evaluation activities or has only performed the first evaluation activity.
Avaluació única:
Students who take the single assessment ("Avaluació única") will have an exam as their only evaluation activity. The exam will consist in questions and problems from the whole syllabus. The minimum mark of this exam to pass the subject is 5 out of 10.
Requisits mínims per aprovar:
A minimum mark of 5 out of 10 must be obtained to pass the subject.
