The evaluation system will be carried out according to the guidelines of the Academic Regulations for Undergraduate Teaching at Pompeu Fabra University. The results obtained for the student body will be expressed in numerical grades, in accordance with the scale provided for in Royal Decree 1125/2003, of September 5, for which the European system of credits and the system of qualifications in university degrees of an official nature and valid throughout the national territory:  

0,0 - 4,9: Suspension (SS) 

5,0 - 6,9: Approved (AP) 

7,0 - 8,9: Notable (NT) 

9,0 - 10: Excellent (SB) 

According to the Academic Regulations for degrees, there will only be one official call that will cover two different evaluation periods: 

1. Ordinary period, which takes place in an integrated way in the training process and during the teaching period. 

2. Extraordinary period, in which the student can be assessed again for tasks, activities or tests that have not been passed satisfactorily within the framework of the first period. 

ordinary period 

Evaluation of the face-to-face modality: 

Evaluation of the virtual modality: 

Extraordinary assessment period 

Requirements to pass the continuous assessment (AC):  

- Mandatory minimum achievement in the subject and seminars of 75%, absences due to illness or injury are included.  

- If the continuous assessment is not passed due to non-compliance with any of the necessary requirements described above, the student will fail the subject.  

Recovery: Within the same course, there is the possibility of recovering skills not achieved during the subject. In accordance with current regulations, in the evaluation activity of the exam, you can only choose to retake the subject, if it has been suspended. In the case of those who did not present, it will not be possible to opt for recovery. 

Assignments: All assignments must be submitted through the Virtual Classroom on the date indicated. No late work will be accepted. The seminars will be mandatory (75% minimum attendance. The average grade obtained in the continuous evaluation will be averaged with the grade of the final exam. To get an average, it will be necessary to have passed the final exam. The full or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without the option to take the recovery test and without prejudice to the opening of a file for this reason. Therefore, plagiarism or the copy of someone else's work will be penalized according to the Regulations on the rights and duties of students of the University of Pompeu Fabra. The University will be informed and a serious offense will be placed on the file.
