Assessment
The weight of the theory is 60% of the final mark while practical lessons provide the remaining 40%.
Activities 01 to 02 will be delivered individually. Activity 03 and 04 will be performed in a group. All evidences will be presented in Catalan and Spanish and evidence two also in English.
The final mark will be the addition of the marks obtained in the evaluation activities 01 to 04, pondered by the specified percentages (see "Assessment activities" table). The course will be passed whenever the sum of scores, pondered by the percentages, yields a result of five or greater. Hence theory and practices do not have to be passed independently.
In the case of choosing SINGLE ASSESSMENT, it will take place on the same day and place as the test of the second evaluation period of the subject where all the contents of the subject will be evaluated. There will be two partial exams with test-type questions, the delivery of the final report and the oral presentation of the same report. Total duration of approximately 5 hours. The final grade of the subject will be obtained as described in the continuous assessment.
To access to the recuperation it is compulsory to have at least the 67% of the course mark. If the delivered activities are lesser than 40% of the course will be considered as NON-EVALUABLE. The recovery of the theory will consist in a forty questions, multiple-choice test concerning the contents delivered. The recovery of the practices will consist in the delivery of the report previewed in activity 04.
It is not previewed that students who enrolled for a second or further time were evaluated by a single, no recoverable, synthesis test.
