Two assessment systems are offered, continuous assessment and standard assessment. The choice of one evaluation system suspends the other.
Continuous evaluation: The evaluation system is organized in modules distributed in individual or group work, a presentation and joint evaluation of these works and exams (the final average grade will have to be equal to or greater than 5 out of 10).
Systems and evaluation techniques envisaged:
• Carrying out tasks and exercises with a global weight of 30%
• Written tests, with an overall weight of 70%.
Standard evaluation: The two parts of the subject will have to be passed separately with a 5 out of 10.
Two evaluation tests per option are contemplated, the chosen one plus the re-taken.
