Assessment
There will be only one exam at the end of the course, and it will have a 50% assessment in the grade for the course.
Two exercises will be requested during it. They will have a value in the final grade of 30 and 20% respectively. Cheating on the exam or plagiarism in the exercises will result in a zero in those grades. It will be established the necessary mechanisms to review the results of the exam and the exercises.
Very important warning
Students who have not done the exam and one of the two exercises will not be able to take the recovery synthesis test, thus they will be NON-EVALUABLE. Nor will it be possible to present to the recovery test those who has a final grade equal to or higher than 5.0. The recovery will deal with all the contents of the subject program. In the Degree in History, the maximum mark for this recovery test is 5.0 (Pass).
