EVALUATION

The student has three opportunities to pass the subject (Ordinary call, Resit 1 and Resit 2).
The following contains information on each call. Please, read the document carefully.

ORDINARY CALL:

The subject’s evaluation includes the following evaluation activities:

EVALUATION ACTIVITIES PERCENTAGE OF THE FINAL

GRADE

Forum activities 20 %

Practice activities 20 %

Assignment 60 %

It is mandatory to complete all of them to pass the subject and the minimum passing grade is
7/10. Besides, if a student has received a passing grade in the subject, they are not allowed to
resubmit evaluation activities for a better grade.

Grading scale
The subject is evaluated in the virtual campus (VC) based on a scale that goes from 0 to 10,
with a minimum passing grade of 7/10. The studies in Teaching English as a Foreign Language
are part of an interuniversity program that is offered by several universities. When the student
enrolls, they choose the university by which they will obtain the degree. If that institution
follows a different evaluation scale, the grades obtained in the VC by the student will be
adapted through a process of internal conversion to the university’s evaluation scale and
published in the student’s record (PANAL). This means that, for example, if a student obtains
7/10 in the campus but they are enrolled in a university where the minimum passing grade is
8/10, the student’s record (PANAL) will show 8/10.

Access to submit assignments and practice activities in the VC

Access to submit assignments and practice activities in the VC is not permanently open.

Students must submit both evaluation activities on the official date of delivery (the day
indicated in the academic calendar). However, the submission access in VC opens three days
before that date for those students who want to submit earlier.
 FP015 CCD - EVALUATION

Access is kept open a few days longer, but only for those students who have been granted an
extension by the professor. Assignments or test that are submitted after the deadline without this
extension (extraordinary authorization by the professor granted in advance) will not be
evaluated.

Forum activities (20% of the final grade):

The activity will take place in the “Forum Group”. At the appropriate time, the professor will
provide information in this forum relating to these activities.

Forum activities are graded according to this evaluation grid:

submit a supplementary activity. The date of submission of the supplementary activity coincides
with the date of submission of the test/assignment (see academic calendar). The teacher will
send the student the information of the activity and a link to upload the activity. The
supplementary activity will have a maximum value of 8/10, unless students properly documents
why they were not able to participate in the forum activities.
