Assessment
To pass the module it is necessary to pass each subject separately.
Subject: Information Systems
The evaluation system is based on the "continuous assessment" model and includes the activities foreseen in this section (tasks, quizzes, participation). The activities must be delivered within the indicated period and will be penalized the fact of delivering it after the deadline without justification.
Second-opportunity Grade: To participate in this process of some of the planned activities, the student must be previously evaluated and that the weighted average grade is 3.5 (about 10). In this case, a period of one week will be allowed so that the student can recover activities with an individual grade of less than 5.0 with the objective of passing the subject. As it is obvious, participation in classes grade is not considered in this process.
Subject: Organization and business administration
The evaluation system is based on the "continuous assessment" model and includes the activities foreseen in this section.
Second-opportunity Grade: Students who do not pass the continuous evaluation or who do not attend the same will undergo re-evaluation to pass the subject.
The activities must be delivered within the indicated period and will be penalized the fact of delivering it after the deadline without justification and the accumulation of spelling or grammatical errors.
Plagiarism: Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures considered appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade willbe scored with a zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying, letting copy ..., an evaluation activity, will imply suspending this evaluation activity with a zero (0).The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable and in the case of two (o more activities) in this status the grade of the module will be zero (0).
