Assessment

The final grade of the course will be formed by the weighted average of three notes:
										
											
										
											1. Follow-up of the course. The correct follow-up of the course requires the attendance to the class and the realization of the practical cases and activities programmed during the course for each one of the subjects. Throughout the course all these aspects and that will result in a grade that will represent 30% of the final grade of the course
										
											
										
											2. Partial test In the middle of the course there will be an exam on contents taught until then. The grade of this intermittent test will represent 20% of the final grade of the course.
										
											
										
											3. Final exam. The student will be evaluated based on the global contents of the course and the final exam grade will represent 50% of the final grade of the course.
										
											To pass the subject, the weighted average of the three previous grades must be equal to or greater than 5. It is considered a student as not presented who did not participate in the head of the evaluation activities.
										
											At the end of the course each professor will publish the final grades and the day, time and place of review of the exam.
										
											
										
											In case of a grade lower than 3, the student will have to redo the subject in the next course. There will be a re-evaluation by those students whose final grade is less than 5 but higher than 3. As a result of the re-evaluation the maximum grade for the subject will be 5. This re-evaluation will consist, similar to the final exam , of an examination with an eminently practical content, in which exercises are exposed in which the students, in addition to applying the methods of social and labor audit, will have to make a diagnosis and make recommendations that can serve as a base for the corrective action of the dysfunction that It is presented in the case study.
