Assessment

The evaluation of this module will be based on three evidences of learning:

EV1: Individual written work from the reading of scientific articles on some of the contents of the program of the module (30%).

EV2: An individual multiple choice online exam (60%).

EV3: Attendance to a minimum of 80% of the face-to-face sessions and correct realization of the proposed activities (10%).

 

A student who only presents one of the two evidences of learning (EV1 and EV2) will be listed as "non-evaluable".
It is not ruled out that teachers carry out some activity (presentation and discussion of an article, eg) and that this activity is also evaluated. In this case, the weight and the evidence on the whole of the final grade will not exceed 10% and will reduce the weight of the EV2, proportionally.


Passed module: the student passes the module if he obtains a minimum grade of 5 points (scale 0-10) as an average mark of the three evidences of learning.

Recovery test: Students who have not passed the criteria established to pass the subject and who have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. The student may be eligible for a retake of the two unpassed learning evidences (evidence 3 cannot be retrieved) if the final grade of the continuous assessment is at least 3.5 points (scale 0-10).
- It is necessary to pass with a score equal to or greater than 5 points each of the evidence of learning to which the student presents himself in the recovery.
- In the weighted calculation of the final grade, a score of 5 points will be incorporated for each evidence of learning recovered.
- Students in second or subsequent enrollment are not expected to be assessed by a single non-recoverable synthesis test.
