Assessment
The evaluation system will consist of the elaboration and delivery of a work on private and / or public research (50%) and the realization of two tests:
First test
Contents in private research (20%).
Second test
Contents in public research and Interview (30%)
The work of the subject must have a grade of 4 to be able to add to the continuous assessment. Each test must have a grade of at least 3.5 to be able to add to the continuous assessment.
The mark to pass the continuous assessment will be the result of the sum of the two tests and the work of the subject, as long as they pass the minimum marks required to add. To pass the continuous assessment this average must be 5 or higher.
Recovery Exam
The student who does not pass the subject, who does not reach a point 5 (total) of 10, in accordance with the criteria established in the two previous sections, may take a final exam as long as the student has evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. Otherwise it has been evaluated of these two third parties for not having presented in the tests will obtain a qualification of Not Presented, without having the possibility to present this final examination of recovery.
In this exam, all the contents of the subject that have not been passed in the continuous assessment will be re-evaluated.
In case of passing the final exam, the subject will be passed with a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.
Students who need to change an assessment date must submit the application by filling out the document found in the EPSI Tutoring Moodle space.
Review
At the time of each assessment activity, teachers will inform students of the mechanisms for reviewing grades.
Other considerations:
* Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the qualification of an act of assessment, this assessment act will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed, in the event of several irregularities in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 ".
* If there are circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, teachers may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the subject.
