The approach we propose aims to gather different scores on the participation of the students of the subject that allows to proceed to the continuous and definitive evaluation of the student.
We will therefore consider a continuous evaluation, measured through the written comments about the readings, the delivery of the group work and exams.
The continuous evaluation will always be subject to the fulfillment of 80% of the attendance of the students to the sessions. In case a student does not pass the continuous assessment, he / she will have the option of presenting himself / herself to the Final Exam, that will imply contents of the whole subject and his maximum mark will be 5.
A) 2 individual discussion papers (30% of the final mark)
These works will be requested during the semester and will focus on comments on campus readings. Each one of the works must be delivered on the proposed date according to the schedule. The average of both must be a minimum of 5, but the reason that each work is considered apt to make an average is 4. The grade of the works will represent 30% of the grade of the course. Students who do not submit completed work must submit to the final exam of the whole course.
B) 2 written exams (50% of the final mark)
The students, individually, will carry out two written exams (based on the date proposed according to the timetable). The average of both must be a minimum of 5, but the reason for each exam is considered to be average is 4. The average of both will represent 50% of the grade of the course. If the average of the exams is less than 5, the students who fail must present to the final exam of the whole subject, and can obtain a maximum score of 5 points. Non-Presented Students will not be assessed, except that a justification (written document) is provided before the absence of the exam and that allows to assess the suitability of presenting themselves to the final exam.C) Group Activities during practice lessons (20% of the final grade)
During the course of the semester different tasks will be carried out in the practice sessions, the delivery of these tasks in situ will be their evaluation and the average of them (without having to approve each one) will mean 20% of the final note These tasks can be discussions, group exercises, oral case presentations, etc.
For the students that repeat the subject, an informative note will be uploaded to the Moodle Platform with respect to their follow-up of the course.
Note = Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that can lead to a variation of the qualification will be classified by zero (0). For example, plagiarizing or copying an evaluation activity, will imply failing this evaluation activity with zero (0). Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable
