    Organisational online arrangements for the end of Q3 2020-2021 assessments (Covid-19)
    • Written exam (multiple choice, open questions)
    • Production of individual or group work, essay, report, dissertation...
    Description of the modifications to the Q3 2020-2021 assessment procedures (Covid-19)
    Students will complete an individual written assignment which will consist of writing a text in which they will apply the conventions and rules of scientific writing seen in the course. Precise instructions on how to write this written production will be available on the "Moodle exams" platform before the date of submission of the work. 

    Students will also have to answer individually a multiple choice questionnaire relating to the theoretical and practical notions seen in the course. 

    The final grade of the AA will be calculated on the basis of the grade obtained for the text to be produced (60%) and that obtained on the questionnaire (40%).

    Description of the modifications to the Q2 2020-2021 assessment procedures (Covid-19) online or face-to-face (according to assessment schedule)

    The assessment will consist of a written distance examination (multiple choice questionnaire relating to the theoretical and practical notions seen in the course) and a practical work (TP) to be carried out.

    The individual practical work will consist of the writing of a text in which the students will apply the conventions and rules of scientific writing seen in the course/syllabus. The precise instructions for this assignment will be made available on the Moodle exam platform before the submission date.  

    Students who did not pass/participate in the dispensatory test organised in November and who did not complete the remedial exercises (spelling and grammar) integrated on the Moodle platform during Q1 must complete them during Q2. 

    The final SA mark will be calculated on the basis of the mark obtained for the practical work (60%) and the mark obtained for the questionnaire (40%). Students who do not complete the remedial exercises will be given a "non-validation" (NV) instead of the examination mark in their report card.
