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

Practice activities 20 %

Assignment 80 %

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.

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
 FP011 T&P - EVALUATION

extension (extraordinary authorization by the professor granted in advance) will not be

evaluated.

Practice activities in pairs (20% of the final grade):

Practice activities are a series of brief reflection exercises that must be answered in pairs. To
know what the activities consist of, see the “Practice Activities” template available in the
subject’s “Evaluation” section. The Practice Activities must respect all the formal requirements
detailed in the template. In order to submit the Practice Activities, follow these steps:

1. Click the “Practice Activities” icon (available in the subject’s “Evaluation” section).

2. Accept the submission conditions and click the “Add submission” button found in the lower
central part.

3. Next, drag and drop the practice activities’ file in “You can drag and drop files to add
them” space (in the “File submissions” section).

4. Once the file has been uploaded, click on “Save changes”.

5. To confirm the submission, click on “Submit assignment” and then “Continue”.

It is essential that students strictly follow point 5 since, if you do not, the task will be registered
as "Draft (not submitted)” and the teacher will not correct it. Students need to make sure the
status is "Submitted for grading".

In case of not following these steps correctly and, therefore, not sending the work correctly, it
will be the responsibility of the student and will have to wait for the next call to complete the
submission.

Both group members have to submit the practice activities.

Practice activities will be graded following this evaluation grid:

1. Content

Assignment in pairs (80% of the final grade):

The assignment must be done in pairs (2 students). Only those students who have justified
extraordinary circumstances to the professor may do the assignment individually. If a student
cannot hand in an assignment in pairs for a major reason, a valid proof must be presented to the
professor in order to obtain a score of 10/10. If, on the contrary, a student individually submits
 FP011 T&P - EVALUATION

the assignment without having the professor's approval, a score of 0/10 will automatically be
obtained. The ability to work in groups is one of the general skills developed in the program.

Details of the assignment are provided in the “Assignment” template available in the subject’s
“Evaluation” section and in the instructions sent to the subject forum by the teacher. The
assignment must respect all the formal requirements detailed in the template. In order to submit
the assignment, follow these steps:

1. Click on the “Assignment” icon (available in the subject’s “Evaluation” section).

2. Accept the submission conditions and click on the “Add submission” button found in the
lower central part.

3. Next, drag and drop the assignment’s file in “You can drag and drop files to add them”
space (in the “File submissions” section).

4. Once the assignment has been uploaded, click on “Save changes”.

5. To confirm the submission, click on “Submit assignment” and then “Continue”.

It is essential that students strictly follow point 5 since, if you do not, the task will be registered
as "Draft (not submitted)” and the teacher will not correct it. Students need to make sure the
status is "Submitted for grading".

In case of not following these steps correctly and, therefore, not sending the work correctly, it
will be the responsibility of the student and will have to wait for the next call to complete the
submission.

All group members have to submit the assignment.

On the other hand, the name of the file must be named as follows:

* The group to which the student belongs.

* The initial of the name and surnames of the students that make up the group.

* The initials of the name of the subject.

For example, with these data:

Students: Samuel López, Lucía Jiménez and Rosa Sallán

Group: 2019-06

Subject: Individual Factors

The correct denomination would be: 2019-06SLopezLJiménezRsallán_IF

RESIT 1

I. CASE 1. FAILING THE SUBJECT IN THE ORDINARY CALL

If the student gets a grade lower than 7/10 in the Ordinary Call, this subject is considered failed.
In such a case, the following semester he/she shall submit the evaluation activities of the resit 1
call. Re-attending the subject is not expected at all. The subject’s evaluation is carried out

The student shall submit the Resit activities in the semester that follows, on the Ordinary Call
official date of the following group, which is when the access will open. To know the exact
submission dates for the Resit, students must identify the calendar of the following group in

have to look for the fp_tefl_2019-10 group calendar and submit the Resit activities in the date of
their ordinary call.
