Two partial exams will be undertaken, each worth 35% of the final grade. The grades obtained in two blocks of activity reports related to the seminars are added, each of them will count 15% of the final grade (30% together).
To pass the subject, the average of marks of the two partial exams (assessments 2 and 4) must be equal or superior to 5 (on a scale from 0 to 10). That is, a minimum of 3.5 points must be obtained in the sum of assessments 2 and 4.
In total, the students are offered 4 assessments, which are worth 10 points:
Assessment 1: Written report (individual or group) of activities related to seminars 1, 2 and 3: 1.5 points
Assessment 2: Written test on areas 1, 2 and 3 of the programme: 3.5 points
Assessment 3: Written report (individual or group) of activities related to seminars 4, 5 and 6: 1,5 points
Assessment 4: Written test on areas 4, 5 and 6 of the programme: 3.5 points.
The reports for assessments 1 and 3 are submitted by using the Moodle platform. EV1: Final submission: Before the start of the first assessment period. EV3: Final submission: Before the start of the second assessment period.
Assessments 2 and 4 are face-to-face written tests (multiple choice test). EV2: During the first assessment period. EV4: During the second assessment period.
The final grade is the sum of the four evidences. No additional tests are undertaken to improve the grades obtained in the four evidences.
The subject is deemed to be passed if 5 or more points are obtained in the sum of the 4 assessments, as long as 3.4 points or more have been obtained in the sum of assessments 2 and 4. Not meeting these criteria means that a maximum grade of 4.9 marks (range 0-10) can be recorded on the student’s academic transcript.
A student who has submitted assessments with a weighting equal to or greater than 4 points (40%) will obtain a grade. A student with lower assessment grades will be "not evaluable".
Re-assessment
All the following criteria must be met in order to go to re-assessment:
a) Having obtained between 3.5 and less than 5 points in the continuous assessment.
b) The weight of the assessments which the student has submitted during the course must be 66.7% or more.
Characteristics of the resit test:
It will consist in re-taking Ev2 and / or Ev4 assessments, with the same characteristics and correction criteria as in the first time. Assessments EV1 and EV3 cannot be re-assessed, because it is not possible to repeat the seminars (so, the same grades will be added to the final grade).
Re-assessment will take place in the period allocated for resits, the day and time being determined by the Faculty.
No unique final synthesis test for students who enroll for the second time or more is anticipated.
