Each assessment task conducted during the course will be granted between 0 and 10 marks.
Students must enter the classroom in which the assessment activity takes place with all communication devices (mobile phones, computers, tablets, smartwatches, etc.) switched OFF and stored inside their bags/backpacks. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a mark of 0 for the activity, as well as the implementation of the measures set out in Article 21 of the University of Girona’s regulations governing student assessment and grading procedures.
If, during the marking process of the assessment activity, the lecturer determines that there may have been academic misconduct or fraud, they reserve the right to validate the mark awarded using whatever assessment method they consider appropriate.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:

Avaluació única:
To be discussed with the teacher at the start of the course. It would involve to pass a test in relation to the contents of the course.
Requisits mínims per aprovar:
A pass requires obtaining at least 5 marks, after applying the corresponding weights and averaging over all the assessment tasks.
The programs R (https://www.r-project.org/) and RStudio (https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) as expected to be installed on personal computers at the start of the course.
All required course material, communications and notices will be found at the Moodle page of the course.
The use of AI tools is not allowed for any assessment task.
