General considerations

The mastery of the linguistic and communicative competences of this subject will be assessed by means of several partial tests for each of the skills specified in this teaching guide. The specific dates for each test will be announced by the teachers in the classroom well in advance.

The final grade for the subject will be calculated taking into account all the skills worked on throughout the term, with the distribution indicated in the previous section and detailed below:

Use of English & Vocabulary: 35%.

Reading: 25% 

Writing: 40%

In order to pass the subject as a whole, a minimum mark of 5 points as an overall mark (out of 10) will be required, 5 points being the minimum mark required in each of the partial tests.

Remarks

The assessment will take into account not only the relevance and quality of the content of the answers but also their linguistic and stylistic correctness. Otherwise, the evaluation test may result in a fail.

Total or partial plagiarism in any type of work or activity will result in an automatic failure in the subject as a whole, regardless of the tests already taken and/or passed. Claiming ignorance of what constitutes plagiarism will not exempt students from their responsibility in this respect.

It is the student's responsibility to check email regularly, to consult materials and news via the e-learning platform, and to be aware of the dates on which the assessment tests take place. Single assessment dates are announced on the FFT website. Continuous assessment dates are announced in class well in advance, except for spontaneous tests. The teaching staff is not obliged to communicate assessment dates via the teledocency platform.

If, for any health-related reason, face-to-face exams cannot be held, the affected assessment test(s) may be considered to be carried out via the e-learning platform and/or via Campus Remoto.
