In person

60% Exams: 30% corresponding to a midterm exam, which will take place halfway through the course, and 30% corresponding to the final exam, which will be held during the official examination period.

20% Oral presentation on an assigned reading.

20% Practical work: in-class exercises, readings and commentaries, etc.

Class attendance is part of the practical work, is compulsory, and is monitored through the submission of assignments. Students must complete at least 80% of the practical component in order to pass the course.

The grade of both exams must be of a 5 or higher in order to be averaged with the other assessment components. If this requirement is not met, the final grade may not exceed 4.75.

Academic honesty. All submitted work must be completed entirely by the student. Any use of other authors’ ideas or content must always be properly acknowledged through the corresponding citations. Plagiarism is not permitted under any circumstances and will result in an immediate fail.

If a member of the teaching staff detects plagiarism in an assignment or catches a student cheating during an exam, the matter will be reported to the Faculty Board, which will take the appropriate measures. These will include the automatic award of a grade of 0.0 for the course, with the student proceeding directly to the next examination sitting.

Second examination sitting: the assessment criteria for the second sitting remain the same as for the first. This also applies to the practical work. When in-class exercises cannot be repeated, they will be replaced by alternative exercises that the student can complete. In the second sitting, assignments must be submitted in printed form and students will take an oral examination on the exercises.

The use of computers, tablets, and mobile phones is prohibited during class unless expressly authorized by the professor.
