Assessment
1. Evaluation model
Continuous evaluation so that the students, together with the teachers, can monitor their degree of achievement of the teaching objectives and competences. In this way, students take an active role in guiding and promoting their own learning process.
The students will present 3 individual learning evidences and a group work. In the seminar will be carried out collaborative work, susceptible to be evaluated. At the end of the semester students will do a multiple choice exam on the contents worked on in the subject.
Attendance is mandatory at 80%, except reasonable justification.
2. Conditions of the evaluation
Assistance to lectures and seminars (minimum 80%, except reasonable justification).
Only evidences that follows the instructions contained in the evidence guide will be evaluated.
3. Requirements to pass the subject
It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 4 in each one of the items of the evaluation (individual works, group work and final proof).
The EV4 implies a dynamic in the classroom, with the rest of the work group, where each of the members is evaluated their ability as facilitators of an activity. Attendance to this day is mandatory. If in case of force majeure, the day assigned to the group can not be revitalized, this task must be recovered individually at the end of the course (according to the calendar of the subject). In case of not being able to attend this recovery, it will imply a mark of "Non evaluable".
4. Resit
In case of filling some of the evidences, students will have the opportunity of a second chance. Professors will allow to repeat individual works during the teaching period once the teachers' feed-back has been received regarding the activities, according to the stipulated calendar. I case of filing the final exam, there will be an opportunity to repeat the exam in the day fixed by the faculty.
5. Fraudulent conducts
If there is evidence of plagiarism in works or cheating in exams, the mark will be "0", loosing the right of reassessment.
6. Punctuality
Sessions start on time. Late arrival and early departure are not allowed, excep reasonable justification.
B) Single Evaluation System
1. Multiple choice response test.
This test will include the contents of the theoretical classes as well as the materials and required bibliography indicated for each subject.
