Continuous assessment
Students wishing to opt for the single assessment system must apply for this in writing at the end of the first day of class, using the form provided.
The marks are organized as follows:
— A test on community mediation law (40% of the final mark).
— An exercise in which the students describe and discuss the community mediation process (60% of the final mark).
Students must attend at least 80% of the classes.
Plagiarism
Any test or assessed assignment in which written or electronic material has been copied or plagiarised will be considered an irregularity, and as such will be given the mark 0 (according to the Regulations governing course plans for subjects and the assessment and marking of learning outcomes).
Distinction
The grade Distinction ("Matrícula d’honor") may be awarded when a student scores a mark of between 9.1 and 10 (see Article 16.9 of the UB’s Regulations).
Students wishing to opt for the single assessment system must apply for this in writing at the end of the first day of class, using the form provided.
The single evaluation will consist of the following activities:
— A written examination on the course theory.
— The analysis of a practical example of a community mediation process.
Repeat assessment
Only students who failed the first call may resit the examination. The repeat assessment consists of a written exam on community mediation law and the analysis of a practical example of a community mediation process.
