1. Particular considerations
There are two assessment systems: continuous or global (overall assessment). The selection of a system excludes the other.
1.1 Continuous assessment
To qualify for the system of continuous evaluation, students are required to attend 80% of the total lecture hours with academic progress and participation. Students not reaching that percentage will lose this option. The assignments and tests done during the course will be worth 100% of the final assessment for those students choosing the continuous evaluation. Then non-completion of the assignments requested during the course will be counted as zero (0.0). The assignments must be delivered or submitted by the deadlines and dates set in advance.
1.2 Global assessment (non-attendants)
Students who do not wish to follow the continuous assessment must notify in writing following the procedure established by the Faculty of Physiotherapy. The waiver of continuous assessment must be made in the 5th week of teaching, which means that the student will assume the global assessment established in the subject. Once the continuous assessment has been waived, the student will not be entitled to it, nor to the considerations established therein.
Students choosing the global examination will have to take a final overall exam that will take place on the official date established by the Physiotherapy School. To this end, students should consult the school's website, where the examination date and time are specified.
2. Subject's final grade
2.1 Continuous assessment
The final mark for this subject is calculated as follows:
1) 30% - active participation in class discussions, group work, regular completion and submission of in-class and out-of class assignments, including listening comprehension exercises, written exercises, reading comprehension tasks, and vocabulary practice.
2) 20% - objective questions exams. These tests evaluate student's proficiency and understanding of the English language explored in class. These tests assess various language skills (reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing, etc.), vocabulary, use of English, etc. It could be a combination of multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, etc. or a mix of different formats.
3) 50% - Students will be assigned two final tasks: role play (25%) and an oral presentation (25%).
To pass the course through continuous assessment, it is necessary to obtain an average grade of 5 points with a minimum of 4 (out of 10) in each of the parts. If this is not the case, the final average grade of the subject will be truncated with a maximum grade of 4.5 (out of 10), even if the arithmetic average of the tests is higher.
To completely pass the course, students who obtained a mark below 4 in any of the parts on the first edition of records will have to resit the failed part(s) in an exam in July of the current academic year. If the exam is not passed in the second call, students will have to resit the exam of the whole course in future calls, except for the next assessment call in September.
Continuous assessment will consider not only the relevance and appropriateness of the content of the answers, but also their linguistic correctness.
Partial or total plagiarism in any of the assignments or activities will result in an automatic fail of the subject. To claim ignorance of what plagiarism is, will not exempt students of their responsibility in this regard.
2.2 Global assessment (non-attendants)
Students who waive their right to continuous assessment will have to take a final overall exam (100%) that will take place on the official examination established by the Physical Therapy School.
The exam will assess your writing and speaking skills and the content for each part is based on everyday work (physical therapist consultation) and health science tasks and skills.
The final assessment is calculated as follows:
1) A written exam (50%)
2) An oral exam (50%)
Both parts (theory and practice) will add up to 100%, being 5 (five) the required average mark to pass the subject, with a minimum of 4 (out of ten) in each of the parts. If this is not the case, the final average grade of the subject will be truncated with a maximum grade of 4.5 (out of 10), even if the arithmetic average of the tests is higher.
Regarding July's test, to completely pass the course, global assessment students who obtained a mark below 4 in any of the parts on the first edition of records will have to resit the exam of the whole course in future calls, including all the skills and linguistic contents of the subject.
Final assessment will consider not only the relevance and appropriateness of the content of the answers, but also their linguistic correctness.
Partial or total plagiarism in any of the assignments or activities will result in an automatic fail of the subject. To claim ignorance of what plagiarism is, will not exempt students of their responsibility in this regard.
Ethical commitment: Students are requested to have ethical behaviour. In case of detecting unethical behaviour (copying, plagiarism, use of non authorized electronic devices, and others), it will be considered that the student does not meet the requirements to pass the subject. In this case, the overall grade in the current academic year will be a fail (0.0).
