The evaluation of the subject is summative. It is necessary to submit to all evaluation activities to obtain the final grade.
The evaluation activities are:
Attendance in evaluation activities is mandatory for all students. In any case, there is a set of circumstances that can promptly exempt from assistance with the corresponding supporting evidence (illness, surgical operation, death of a relative, etc.).
When you cannot attend for the aforementioned reasons, the student will send an email to the professor through the Virtual Campus platform. Due to the teaching program, the activity cannot be reprogrammed another day during the semester, but the student can continue with the continuous evaluation.
Evaluation activities that could not be performed for the aforementioned reasons may be recovered in June 2023. The date will be announced on the first day of class.
Assignments should be handed in on the class schedule and follow formal requirements. They should meet deadlines in order to get grading. The grades of the activities will be published through the Virtual Campus. Complaints and inquiries about the grades should be made for a maximum period of 10 days after their publication.
In order to clarify doubts or attend consultations, the teachers have office hours for attending students.
The student will be entitled to the revaluation of the subject if he or she has been evaluated on the set of activities the weight of which equals a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade of the subject. To have access to revaluation, the previous grades should be 3.5. The activity that is excluded from the revaluation process is participation in class.
The student who performs any irregularity (copy, plagiarism, identity-theft...) will be qualifiedwith 0 for this act of evaluation. If there are several irregularities, the subject's final grade will be 0.
In the case of a second enrolment, students can do a single synthesis exam/assignment that will consist of a test and practical exercises. The grading of the subject will correspond to the grade of the synthesis exam/assignment
