Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
Written assignments: 70% of the final mark
Classroom exercices and course work: 30% of the final mark.
Evaluation will consist of:
-two/three written exams; if the first exam is passed, its contents will not reappear in the last exam.
If they wish so, students will be allowed to retake the first exam in the last written exam (to increase their first mark, for example). In this case, their original mark will not be taken into account, even if they get a lower mark.
Students’ attitudes (appropriate behaviour, class participation, etc.) are taken for granted.
-Students will have to submit a sociology-based project towards the end of their semester. Should a student misbehave (speaking in class, inconsistency between word and deed, plagiarism, cheating, breaking deadlines, etc.), the teacher is entitled to deduct up to 5 points off his/her final mark depending on the severity of the misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating in exams are two very serious offences.
Spelling and cohesion mistakes can lead to a Non-Corrected mark. In such cases, students will have to submit their assignment again within a week, the academic calendar permitting.
In order to pass this subject with Honors (Matrícula d’Honor), students must:
-Get a final mark of 9 or above
-Meet the requirements that the university sets, since there is a limit in the number of MH which can be assigned. In those cases, the final mark of the subject and the project mark will be taken into account.
--
Any plagiarism or cheating incident during the assessment will be considered an offence against the dignity of the human person and the teaching profession. If there are no attenuating circumstances, such as strong involuntariness, plagiarism is in itself sufficient reason to fail the subject.
