Assessment

Continuous assessment (CA):

2 partial exams (which will include theory and seminar contents. Each exam will score on 10 pt.

1st partial exam: Theory topics + Seminars = 40 % total note AC

2nd partial exam: Theory topics + Seminars = 40% total note AC

The student who presents to a partial exam will not have right to score: Non assessable, since the score associated with each of the partials (50%), is always greater than 30% of the total continuous assessment.

You have to present all the Works / Dossiers on the seminars proposed as mandatory by the professors. The score on each will be: Very Good-10, Good-7, Normal-5, Incorrect-3, Very incorrect or not delivered-0. The average grade will be calculated and it will weight 0.2 (20%). If there are two dossiers or works not submitted, this part of the assessment will be lost (20%). The dossiers or works must be delivered on the dates fixed by the teachers (non-submission before de deadlines imply a score of non-delivered = 0). The non-delivered works / dossiers will not be recoverable in any case after the deadline for presentation. This deadlines which in any case be prior to the date of the second partial exam.

Score CA = Score partial exam 1 x 0,4 + Score partial exam2 x 0,4 + Score works/dossiers x 0,2

To pass the subject (passed) by continuous assessment, the CA grade must be equal to or greater than 5 and the scores of each partial exam must be greater than, or equal to 3. Grades less than 3 in a partial exam will prevent calculating the CA score (score will be Non assessable) and the student must submit to the corresponding part of the final exam. 

Recovery exam:

The final exam will consist of two parts:

1: Reassessment of the first partial exam (theory and seminars) and

2: Reassessment of the second partial exam (theory and seminars).

In the event that a lower score is obtained than that obtained in the corresponding partial exam that is being reassessed, the arithmetic mean of the two scores will be made.

If, in either of the two theory tests the score is still less than 3, the final grade will be failed. In this last case if the computation of the note is greater than 5 the numerical score will be reduced 4.9 and the final score will be Fail).

Students who wish to take one or two parts of the final exam to improve their scores must notify to teachers in advance on which part/s they want to be reassessed (i.e. first partial, second partial or both). The teacher will implement a list with a deadline for registration for this final exam. If the teachers does not have any notice from the students within the stipulated limit, the access to this final exam may not allowed to and the student will lose the right to improve the grade of the corresponding part of which he has not notified in advance.

Under no circumstances will students not presented to one or both partial exams and not presented at the corresponding reassessment, or those not presented to the final exam and having the obligation to submit it, will be entitled to a new final reassessment exam aside from the final exam. If a student has not submitted to a partial or to the final exams due ofamajorcause,then he will have to documentary justify the event to the teachers. If this document is considered sufficient by the teacher, the student will have to recover the part not examined within the final exam and if it does not pass it, then the student will be able to repeat this part on a date set by the teacher (the only exception that allows an additional reassessment after the final exam).

Final Score:

The formula of calculation of the final score will be:

Final Score = (Theory test score + seminars 1st partial x 0.4) + (Theory test score + seminars 2nd partial x 0.4) + score on works / dossiers x 0,2

If the final score is ≥ 4.8 and the works / exercises / dossiers requested have been submmited (no more than two non submmited) and if the average qualification of these works / exercises / dossiers is ≥ 5 the score can be increased up to 5 and the subject can be passed. Under no circumstances may the subject be passed with grades equal or less than 4.8 and with two works / exercises / dosiers not presented.

All exams will contain an objective test-style part with multiple answer type questions (correct answered option: 1 pt, unanswered option: 0 pt, incorrect answered option: -0,25 pt) and a part with answer/development short questions.

At the time of carrying out each assessment activity or alternatively at the time of publishing the grades (1er, 2nd partial exams and final exam), the teacher will report to students (Moodle) the procedure and the date of review of the grades. 

Students will obtaina“Not assessed/Not submitted” coursegrade unless they have submitted morethan 30% of the assessment items.

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
