Other comments and second exam session

Use of electronic devices during face-to-face examinations:
At the beginning of exams, students will be required to turn off completely their electronic devices (either mobile phones, laptops or tablets) and keep them either within their bags or on the instructor's desk. During the exam, it is completely forbidden to have these devices on and answer messages or calls. Failure to follow these regulations will imply that the student will be disqualified and his/her grade will be 0.

During examinations (online tests): students will have to be on Teams. If a student is not on Teams while taking the online test or does not identify himself/herself according to the instructions given, his /her test will be declared INVALID.

FIRST CALL is divided into:

1) 4 online tests on Moodle and via Teams (multiple-choice tests) = 50% of the final grade

2) Participation in 4 online forums of debate (2 contributions in written form and 2 oral contributions in the forma of a video) = 40% of the final grade

3) Active participation and attendance = 10 % of the final grade


The final grade will be the result of the different percentages of the activities mentioned above: 50 + 40 + 10 = 100 %. Nevertheless, in order to be able to average all the grades earned in the course, students should

-pass at least 3 online tests

-participate in at least 2 online forums (1 written + 1 oral form)

-attend at least 60 % of all class sessions.

SECOND CALL:

If students failed to pass their first call based on continuous assessment, they will have to take just an exam (with practical texts and multiple choice tests about all the contents of the course) for the second call. The result of this exam will determine the final grade of the course.
