A3 Carrying out projects in small groups.

A4 Independent study, report writing, practical work, etc., carried out by individual students or groups of students.

A5 Assessment tests.

A9 Tutorials.

Assessment system and criteria

In accordance with EIAD guidelines, “The format of assessment tests may include multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, essay questions, problem-solving tasks, case studies, laboratory tests or workshops, or the design of prototypes, products or models, to be completed in written or oral form. Where applicable, the course coordinator will provide details of the assessment format to be used prior to the assessments taking place.”

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University shall be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate students’ acquisition of learning outcomes can be categorised into three types:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s independent study.

- E2: Reports on laboratory practical work to verify the acquisition of the skills developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

Competencies involving proficiency in the use of tools, debugging and programme testing will be assessed on the basis of the submission and defence of case studies carried out in small groups, as well as students’ performance in the classroom during the practical sessions

Submission of practical assignments and reports on their completion.

For skills involving knowledge of the course content, a series of written examinations will be set to cover the full range of learning activities carried out in the classroom.

The course mark, broken down by term, is therefore as follows:

-First term:

Submission of laboratory practical reports: 7% of the total (C5, C6, C9, C10, RA9), Seminar research assignments: 6% of the total (C4, C6, C8, C9, C10, RA10) and written examinations (block 1 and block 2) (17% per examination) and questionnaires (block 1 and block 2) (1.5% each) (C1, C2, C3, C4, C7, C9, C10, RA1 to RA8).

-Second term:

Submission of laboratory practical reports: 7 per cent of the total (C5, C6, C9, C10, RA9), Seminar research assignments: 6% of the total (C4, C6, C8, C9, C10, RA10) and written examinations (block 3 and block 4) (17% each) and multiple-choice tests (block 3 and block 4) (1.5 per cent each) (C1, C2, C3, C4, C7, C9, C10, RA1 to RA8).

Any student who, based on these percentages, has achieved a mark of 5 or higher by the end of the academic year will have passed the module through continuous assessment.

*To be eligible for continuous assessment, students must have attended at least 60% of the course’s teaching sessions.

Ordinary examination session

Both the first and second terms include a series of assessments which students must complete. Students will sit the June ordinary examination only for the term in which they have failed. The mark required to pass the exam taken during this session (and therefore to pass the module) must be 5.0

Supplementary examination session

The exam will cover all course content and will account for 100% of the mark. The mark required to pass the exam – and therefore the module – must be 5.0

Learning activities

A1 In-class presentation of concepts relating to the subjects comprising each module and problem-solving exercises to enable students to understand how to tackle them, as well as other face-to-face group sessions such as discussion classes, group work, etc.

A3 Carrying out work in small groups.

A4 Independent study, report writing, practical work, etc., carried out by the student or a group of students.

A5 Assessment tests.

A9 Tutorials.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

There are two official examination sessions: the ordinary and the supplementary.

Ordinary assessment period:

Students may pass the module through continuous assessment. In this case, the final mark is the weighted average of a set of assessments detailed below:

-- two projects (one per term), each accounting for 15 per cent of the final mark for continuous assessment, to be carried out in small groups of students during term time.

-- four exams (two per term) to be taken individually, each accounting for 17.5% of the final mark for continuous assessment. Of these, three will be held during term time (for further information, please refer to the timetable), whilst the fourth (the second exam of the first term) will take place during the January ordinary examination period.

*** The module is considered passed via continuous assessment if the final mark is 5.0 or above.

If a student does not pass the module through continuous assessment, they may do so in the ordinary examination session, which will take place during the May–June examination period (for further information, please consult the virtual campus). This consists of a single examination with two distinct parts: the first and second terms. If a student, having failed the continuous assessment, has nevertheless passed one of the two terms, they may sit an exam only for the term in which they failed or, if they wish, for the entire module. Each term accounts for 50 per cent of the final mark in the ordinary examination session; whether the student sits an exam for a single term or for the full module, the continuous assessment associated with the part or parts being examined will not be taken into account at this stage of the assessment.

*** The module is considered passed in the ordinary examination session if the final mark is 5.0 or higher

Extraordinary examination period:

If a student fails the course during the ordinary examination period, they may retake it during the supplementary examination period.

The supplementary examination session takes place during the June–July examination period (for further information, please consult the virtual campus). It consists of a single examination with two distinct parts: the first and second terms.

In this sitting, students will be examined on all the course content, unless they have passed one term during the ordinary sitting, in which case they may choose to be examined solely on the term they failed, if they so wish. The final mark for the supplementary examination session will be the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained in each of the two terms (weighted at 50% each). Whether the student sits an exam for a single term or for the full module, the continuous assessment associated with the part or parts being examined will not be taken into account at this stage of the assessment.

*** The module is considered to have been passed in the supplementary examination if the final mark is 5.0 or higher.

In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate the acquisition of the competences

by the student can be categorised into three types:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s independent study.

- E2: Reports on laboratory practical work to verify the acquisition of the skills developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

Assessment Methods

The format of the assessment tests may include multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, essay questions, problem-solving tasks, case studies, laboratory tests or workshops, or the design of prototypes, products or models, to be completed in writing or orally. Where applicable, the coordinator will provide details of the assessment format to be used prior to the assessments taking place.

Students’ results in the modules will be graded according to the following numerical scale from 0 to 10, expressed to one decimal place, to which the corresponding qualitative grade may be added:

a. 0–4.9: Fail (SS).

b. 5.0–6.9: Pass (AP).

c. 7.0–8.9: Good (NT)

d. 9.0–10: Very Good (SB).

The distinction of ‘Honours’ shall be awarded to students who have obtained a mark of 9.0 or higher. The number of students awarded this distinction may not exceed five per cent of those enrolled on the course in the relevant academic year, unless the number of enrolled students is fewer than 20, in which case only one ‘First Class Honours’ may be awarded.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

To calculate the student’s mark during continuous assessment, each block will be weighted as follows:

40% BLOCK A: DIHEDRAL SYSTEM:

15% FIRST DIHEDRAL MID-TERM EXAM.

20% SECOND DIHEDRAL MID-TERM EXAM.

5% SUBMISSION OF EXERCISES.

40% BLOCK B: NORMALISATION AND VISUALISATION.

15% FIRST NORMALISATION MID-TERM EXAM.

20% SECOND MID-TERM EXAM ON NORMALISATION.

5% HAND-IN OF EXERCISES.

20% BLOCK C: COMPUTER-AIDED DRAWING.

15% AUTOCAD ASSESSMENT.

5% SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS.

In order to calculate an average across the different modules and pass via continuous assessment, students must achieve a mark of at least 3.5 in each module.

If the mark obtained through this process is 5 or above, the student will have passed the module through continuous assessment.

REGULAR EXAM SESSION:

In the ordinary examination session, students have the following options:

A. They may retain the marks for the modules in which they have achieved a mark of 5 or above through continuous assessment and sit an examination in the subject(s) of the modules in which they have achieved a mark below 5. In order to average the marks across the different modules and pass in the ordinary examination period, students must achieve at least 3.5 in each module.

B. Sit the examination for the entire subject; in this case, no minimum mark is required in any of the blocks to pass the subject.

To calculate the mark for the ordinary examination session, each block will be weighted as follows:

40% BLOCK A: DIHEDRAL SYSTEM.

40% SECTION B: STANDARDISATION AND VISUALISATION.

20% SECTION C: COMPUTER-AIDED REPRESENTATION.

EXTRAORDINARY EXAMINATION SESSION:

In the ordinary examination session, students have the following options:

A. They may retain the marks for those Blocks in which they have achieved a mark of 5 or above in continuous assessment and sit the examination for the subject(s) in the Blocks in which they have achieved a mark below 5.

Objectives

This module has two objectives:

• Firstly, by undertaking a degree in engineering, students have chosen a career in which they will interact with the natural world, utilising its resources and transforming them. Understanding the basic laws of chemistry will enable them to grasp the key processes that allow us to extract these resources, convert them into materials or energy sources useful to humankind, and recognise the environmental implications that such activity may entail. Knowledge and understanding are the first steps towards applying these concepts and deriving satisfaction from professional practice.

• Furthermore, many of the modules on the degree programme will build upon the skills already acquired through this course. The time spent studying chemistry should be seen as an investment that makes it easier to learn other subjects, particularly those related to materials and the environment.

A2 Laboratory activities of increasing difficulty, enabling students to gradually develop the ability to solve problems independently.

A3 Carrying out work in small groups.

A4 Independent study, report writing, practical work, etc., carried out by individual students or groups of students.

A5 Assessment tests.

A9 Tutorials.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate students’ acquisition of competences can be categorised into three types:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s individual study.

- E2: Reports on laboratory practicals to verify the acquisition of the skills developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

There are two official examination sessions: the ordinary and the supplementary.

Ordinary examination period

Students must achieve a mark of 5 points or higher. They may pass the module through continuous assessment. In this case, the final mark is the weighted average of the set of assessment activities detailed below:

• Mid-term Exam 1. Accounts for 35% of the final mark. A mark of 4 points or higher is required to be included in the average.

• Mid-term Exam 2. This accounts for 35% of the final mark. A mark of 4 points or higher is required to be included in the average.

• Class activities. These account for 15% of the final mark. They include exercises, problems, presentations and individual and group assignments.

• Laboratory practicals. These account for 15% of the final mark. This percentage is broken down into 10% of the mark, corresponding to an exam (a mark of 3.5 points is required to be included in the average), and 5% from an individual report. It is essential to have completed all practical sessions in order to be eligible to sit the exam.

If a student does not achieve a mark of 5 points through continuous assessment, they will have the opportunity to demonstrate that they have met the learning objectives during the designated exam week, as notified for this purpose, as follows:

• The student will sit an exam covering those sections in which they have not achieved a pass (mid-term exam 1, mid-term exam 2, and/or practical exam).

• The mark obtained in the course activities and the mark for the laboratory report will be retained for the calculation of the final mark.

Extraordinary examination session

If a student fails to pass the module during the ordinary examination period, they may do so during the supplementary examination period. The criteria will be as follows:

• Students will sit an exam covering the sections they have not passed (full theory exam (which includes the content of mid-term exams 1 and 2), and/or practical exam).

• To calculate the final mark, the marks obtained for coursework and the laboratory report will be retained.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate students’ acquisition of competences can be categorised into three types:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s independent study.

- E2: Reports on laboratory practical work to verify the acquisition of the skills developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Two written assessments and one oral assessment, both at the end of the academic term. The continuous assessment scheme is supplemented by each student’s classwork and the lecturer’s assessment.

1 written test throughout the academic year.

a. A first mid-term exam: 20%

b. A second mid-term exam: 30%

f. An oral examination (presentation on a topic of the student’s choice related to engineering) at the end of the academic term: 25%

The topic of the oral presentation will be agreed in advance with the lecturer.

g. Completion of assignments both inside and outside the classroom, initiative, engagement and interest in these: 15%

h. Coursera course: 10%

Each of the mid-term assessments will consist of exercises in:

Listening

Vocabulary

Reading Comprehension

Grammar or Linguistic Structures

Writing

The dates of these tests will be announced in advance by the teacher. They will take place in the usual classroom, unless the teacher specifies otherwise at the time.

IMPORTANT

1) It is compulsory to sit ALL the assessment tests scheduled during the continuous assessment period. It follows that any student who fails to sit any of the mid-term tests, WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIT THE REGULAR EXAMINATION COVERING 100% OF THE COURSE, subject to the assessment criteria specified for that examination session.

2) If a minimum mark of 5 has been obtained in the oral presentation assessment as part of the continuous assessment, this mark will be retained for the ordinary and/or supplementary examination sessions.

3) The mark for the written examination will not be carried over in either case.

4) The final mark will be calculated according to the percentages mentioned above. The continuous assessment may be failed if the result of the calculation, when combined with the other assessments, is below 5. In this case, the student would have to sit the course examination in the January ordinary examination period, with the mark counting for 75 per cent (if they have a mark of at least 5 in the oral component of the continuous assessment and decide to carry it over to June) or for 100 per cent of the course mark.

5) If the mark for any of the skills (Listening, Vocabulary, Reading, Grammar) is below 2.5 at the end of the academic year, it cannot be included in the average. In this case, the final mark will be a maximum of 3. It follows that, if any skill is left unmarked – either because the student did not complete it (in the case of the written exam) or because they did not sit the exam (in the case of the written exam and/or the oral exam) – no average will be calculated from the other skills, and the final mark will be a maximum of 3.

6) Students with a final average mark of 5 or above in continuous assessment will pass the module through the continuous assessment system.

7) Students must have an attendance rate of 70 per cent to be eligible for this assessment option.

2. REGULAR EXAMINATION PERIOD WITHOUT CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION PERIOD

2.1 Exams:

Students who are to be assessed on 100 per cent of the course content must sit the ordinary examination in February or the supplementary examination in June and/or July. The assessment criteria in this case will be as follows:

Written exam: 75%

Oral examination: 25%

The written examination will cover the same skills as those outlined above for students on the continuous assessment scheme.

The oral examination will consist of an individual presentation, as specified by the lecturer in due course, on engineering topics covered throughout the course. Details regarding the format of the presentation will be provided during the academic year.

If the mark for any of the skills (Listening, Vocabulary, Reading, Grammar, Writing) is below 2.5, it will not be included in the average. In this case, the final mark will be a maximum of 3. It follows that, if any skill is left unmarked – either because the student did not complete it (in the case of the written exam) or because they did not sit the exam (in the case of the written and/or oral exam) – no average will be calculated from the other skills, and the final mark will be a maximum of 3.

If a minimum mark of 5 has been obtained in the oral examination, this mark will be retained for the supplementary examination session should this be necessary, provided the student so requests.

It is the student’s responsibility to find out about classrooms, dates and times.

Type of examination

2.1.1 Written exam

The written exam will consist of questions on listening comprehension, vocabulary, reading comprehension and grammar.

The mark for the written exam will not be carried over to the resit session under any circumstances.

2.1.2 Oral exam

This may be taken individually or in pairs, as indicated at the time. It will consist of an oral presentation or a dialogue on a given topic related to engineering. Each student will prepare their dialogue or presentation in advance, following the guidelines provided in class or via the course portal.

On the day of the written exam, information regarding the dates, times and classrooms for the oral exams will be provided at the latest. Students will be asked to book a slot at the date and time that suits them best from among those set by the Faculty of Applied Languages. The oral exams may be recorded.

Addendum

1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

During the course there will be two written tests and an oral test, both at the end of the academic term. The continuous assessment scheme is supplemented by each student’s classwork and the teacher’s assessment.

1 Written test throughout the academic year.

a. A first mid-term test: 20%

b. A second mid-term test: 30%

F. An oral test (presentation on a topic of your choice related to engineering) at the end of the academic term: 25%

The topic of the oral presentation will be agreed in advance with the teacher.

g. Completion of tasks both in and out of the classroom, initiative, engagement and interest in these tasks: 15%

h. Teacher’s assessment based on behaviour and attitude in class, attendance and active participation: 10%

Each of the partial tests will consist of exercises in:

Listening Comprehension

Vocabulary

Reading Comprehension

Grammar or Linguistic Structures

Writing

The dates of these tests will be announced in advance by the teacher. They will take place in the usual classroom, unless the teacher states otherwise at the time.

IMPORTANT

1) 1) It is essential to complete ALL the assessment tasks scheduled during the continuous assessment period. It follows that any student who fails to sit any of the mid-term tests WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIT THE ORDINARY OR EXTRAORDINARY EXAMINATION FOR 100% OF THE SUBJECT, in accordance with the assessment criteria set out in the syllabus.

2) If a mark of at least 5 has been obtained in the oral presentation test as part of the continuous assessment, that mark will be carried forward to the ordinary and/or extraordinary exam.

3) The mark for the written exam from the continuous assessment period will not be carried forward.

4) The final mark will be calculated according to the percentages mentioned above. The continuous assessment may be declared invalid if the result of the calculation, when combined with the other tests, is less than 5. In this case, the student will have to sit the final exam during the Ordinary Exam period in January.

5) If the mark for any of the skills (Listening, Vocabulary, Reading, Grammar, Writing) is less than 2.5 at the end of the course, an overall average will not be calculated and the student will have to sit the Ordinary exam. In this case, the final mark will be a 3. It follows that, if any skill is left unmarked, either because the student did not sit that part of the exam (in the case of the ordinary written/oral exam),

6) Students with a final average mark of 5 or higher in the continuous assessment phase will receive a pass in the subject through the Continuous Assessment system.

7) Students must have an attendance rate of 80 per cent in order to use this assessment option.

2. REGULAR EXAM WITHOUT CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND SUPPLEMENTARY EXAM

Students who must be assessed on 100 per cent of the course content will have to sit an ordinary exam in February or an extraordinary exam in June and/or July. The assessment criteria in this case will be as follows:

Written exam: 75%

Oral exam: 25%

The written exam will cover the same skills as those outlined above for students undertaking continuous assessment.

The oral exam will consist of an individual presentation, as specified by the teacher at the time, on engineering topics covered throughout the course. Details regarding the presentation format will be provided throughout the academic year.

If the mark for any of the skills (Listening, Vocabulary, Reading, Grammar, Writing) is less than 2.5, no average will be calculated. In this case, the final mark will be a maximum of 3. It follows, therefore, that if any skill is left unmarked – either because the student did not complete it (in the case of the written exam), or because the student did not attend to sit it (in the case of the written exam and/

30% Mid-term Exam 2 (a mark of 4 points or higher is required to be included in the average)

15% Classwork

25% Laboratory practicals. This percentage is broken down as follows: 25% Exam (a mark of 3.5 points or higher is required to be included in the average). Submission of a report, which must be assessed as ‘pass’ to pass the module.

B) Final exam (June)

If the module is not passed through the mid-term exams, there will be a single final theory exam covering the entire syllabus. Students who have failed the practicals will sit a practicals exam.

The mark obtained in the course activities will be retained for the calculation of the final mark.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate students’ acquisition of competences can be categorised into three types:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s individual study.

- E2: Reports on laboratory practicals to verify the acquisition of the skills developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Three exams will be held at the end of each module: PowerPoint (20%), Word (10%) and Excel (20%). Each of these will consist of the submission of a practical exercise.

At the end of each class, a practical exercise completed during the session and covering that day’s content will be handed in; these exercises will account for the remaining 50 per cent of the assessment.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

To obtain the credits for the modules, students must have passed the corresponding examinations or assessment tests.

The level of learning achieved by students will be expressed as numerical marks.

Students’ results in the modules will be graded according to the following numerical scale from 0 to 10, expressed to one decimal place, to which the corresponding qualitative grade may be added:

a. 0–4.9: Fail (SS).

b. 5.0–6.9: Pass (AP).

c. 7.0–8.9: Good (NT).

d. 9.0–10: Very Good (SB).

The distinction of ‘Honours’ shall be awarded to students who have obtained a mark of 9.0 or higher. The number of students awarded this distinction may not exceed five per cent of those enrolled on the course in the relevant academic year, unless the number of enrolled students is fewer than 20, in which case only one ‘Honours’ may be awarded.

The assessment process will consist of verifying and evaluating the student’s acquisition of the required competences. The assessment methods used to verify and evaluate the student’s acquisition of these competences may take one of three forms:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s independent study.

- E2: Reports on the progress of laboratory practicals to verify the acquisition of the competencies developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

Assessment will be continuous and will include mechanisms for students to make up for any knowledge and skills not acquired during the period in which the module is taught.

Assessment Criteria:

I). Continuous Assessment:

A). Theoretical/Practical Component

Test 1: 25%

Test 2: 25%

Test 3: 25%

Test 4: 25%

Minimum mark for each test: 3

Classwork/exercises: The average mark obtained will count for up to 1 extra mark on top of the weighted mark for the tests

The mark obtained from tests and in-class exercises will account for 70% of the total mark for the module

B). Laboratory practicals: 30% of the total mark for the module

2) Ordinary assessment period:

Students who do not pass the course through continuous assessment will sit a final examination covering the theoretical and practical components of the course, which will account for 70% of the final mark. The remaining 30% corresponds to the laboratory mark obtained through continuous assessment. If no laboratory mark has been obtained during the continuous assessment period, the mark awarded for that part of the module will be 0 (zero).

3) Supplementary Examination:

Students who do not pass the module through continuous assessment will sit a final examination covering the theoretical and practical components of the module, which will account for 70 per cent of the final mark. The remaining 30 per cent corresponds to the laboratory mark obtained through continuous assessment. If no laboratory mark has been obtained during the continuous assessment period, the mark awarded for that part of the module will be 0 (zero).

A2 Laboratory activities of increasing difficulty, enabling students to gradually develop the ability to solve problems independently.

A3 Carrying out projects in small groups.

A4 Independent study, report writing, practical work, etc., carried out by individual students or groups of students.

A5 Assessment tests.

A9 Tutorials.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 60 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate students’ acquisition of learning outcomes can be categorised into two types:

- E1: Written tests throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through the student’s individual study.

- E2: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

The assessment process will be carried out with the aim of achieving the learning outcomes set out in the course description.

The assessments carried out will primarily evaluate two language skills (listening comprehension and oral expression).

To assess these skills, the following tests will be set:

• Vocabulary exercises (applied to oral presentation).

• Preparation and delivery of presentations on topics relating to the workplace and academia.

• Listening comprehension tests.

• Speaking tests.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

In order to sit the continuous assessment exams, it is MANDATORY to have an attendance rate of at least 70 per cent (if any student has timetable clashes with other modules, please remember that an EXEMPTION must be requested from the student office).

Students will be assessed through continuous assessment, as follows:

Mid-term test 1 (listening and vocabulary tests) (25%): Topics 1–4

Mid-term test 2 (listening and vocabulary tests) (25%): Topics 5–8

Oral presentations (40%) (If a student passes the oral test with a minimum mark of 5 in class, this mark will be retained for the ordinary examination session)

Classwork (behaviour/attitude in class, attendance and active participation, completion of assignments): 10%

IMPORTANT:

Should a student have not sat any of the mid-term tests or fail them, the ordinary examination will account for 100% of the mark. In this case, students will be assessed as follows:

Listening comprehension and vocabulary test 50%

Oral presentation: 50%

Once all continuous assessment tests have been completed, if the overall average mark in any of these tests is below 2.5, no average will be calculated. In this case, the final mark will be a maximum of 3 and, therefore, the student must sit the corresponding ordinary examination session.

FINAL EXAM: REGULAR EXAM SESSION WITHOUT CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT AND SUPPLEMENTARY EXAM SESSION.

Students will be assessed as follows:

Listening comprehension and vocabulary test 50%

Oral presentation 50%

Assessment system and criteria

The assessment systems used to verify and evaluate students’ acquisition of the required competences can be categorised into three types:

- E1: Written assessments throughout the semester, to assess the technical competences associated with the module acquired through students’ individual study.

- E2: Reports on laboratory practical work to verify the acquisition of the skills developed.

- E3: Problem-solving, completing assignments, drafting reports, and presenting and defending case studies or projects (either individually or in small groups).

The format of the assessment tests may include multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, essay questions, problem-solving exercises, case studies, laboratory tests or workshops, or the design of prototypes, products or models, to be completed in writing or orally. Where applicable, the coordinator will provide details of the assessment format to be used prior to the assessments taking place.

REGULAR EXAMINATION SESSION

Two written theoretical and practical assessments will be held during the term. To pass the module for the academic year (without sitting the official examination in the ordinary examination session), students must meet three requirements:

1. Achieve a mark of 5 or above in both assessments.

2. Complete the required practical work.

3. Attend classes regularly (attendance of over 70 per cent).

If the student meets the three requirements set out above, the final mark for the module will be calculated as follows:

1. The results of the written theoretical and practical tests, each weighted at 45 per cent.

2. The prescribed practical sessions, each accounting for 10%.

If the student fails to meet at least one of the three requirements, they will sit an examination covering the entire syllabus on the official date set for the final examination in the ordinary examination session. In this case, the final mark will be calculated as follows:

1. The final written examination, accounting for 60 per cent.

2. The results of the theoretical and practical written tests, each accounting for 30 per cent.

3. Practical assignments, accounting for 10%.

The final exam mark will take precedence as the final mark if it is higher than the mark resulting from the above calculation.

EXTRAORDINARY EXAMINATION SESSION

Only the final exam mark will be taken into account.
