CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

In accordance with what is dictated in the Degree Report, the subject will be evaluated according to the following points:

a) Exams. Written tests (both partial and final), with a cumulative mark that means up to 50% of the total of the maximum grade: Written test 1 (25%), Written test 2 (25%); 

b) Coursework, take home with acumulative mark that means up to 30% of the maximum grade with written test. Coursework (30%);

c) Practices: research and analysis techniques in clasroom that means up to 20% of the maximum grade: Practice 1 (5%), Practice 2 (5%), Practice 3 (5%), Practice 4 (5%).

 As a whole, to pass the subject the student must obtain a grade of 5 out of 10. On the other hand, each teacher may mark, if they deem it useful, a minimum to be achieved in each of the items a), b) and c) here exposed

 This is specified in:

• Two written tests (25 + 25 points) spaced throughout the course. TOTAL: 50 points

• Coursework test (30 points) spaced throughout the course. TOTAL: 30 points

• Four practices (5 points + 5 points + 5 points + 5 points). TOTAL: 20 points

COURSE TOTAL MAXIMUM: 100 POINTS; APPROVED: 50 POINTS

The scoring system will be cumulative, without applying percentages or arithmetic averages

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

 

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

a) Exam: Written test 50% of the total maximum grade;

b) Coursework: 30% of the maximum grade;

c) Practices: 20% of the maximum grade.

On the other hand, each teacher will be able tomark, if he/she considers it useful, some minimums to be reached in each item a), b) and c) here contemplated.

This translates into:

- Written test. TOTAL: 50 points

- Coursework (with written test). TOTAL: 30 points

- Four practices (5 points + 5 points + 5 points + 5 points). TOTAL: 20 points

MAXIMUM TOTAL FOR THE COURSE: 100 POINTS; APPROVED: 50 POINTS.

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

 

RECOVERY

Students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade (CONTINUOUS EVALUATION) or submit all the planned tests (SINGLE EVALUATION). In addition, the student must have a final average grade of at least 3.5 points (CONTINUOUS EVALUATION or SINGLE EVALUATION).

 

Continous assessment: one test will be carried out, on the date set by the administration of the center. In this test, one of the activities failed during the course can be recovered, which will be added to the scores obtained in the rest of the tests of the course (without points of test course select). Therefore, only the activities previously taken and failed will be made up, with a minimum of 20% average.

In no case,may reevaluation be considered as a means of improving the grade of students who have already passed the subject in the normal continuous assessment process. The maximum mark that can be obtained in the reevaluation is 5.0 (Pass)

 

Single assessment: the same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.

 

Warnings:

Plagiarism from written sources (internet, books, papers, etc.) or copying in the exam, supposes a zero in the grade for the exercise. Self-plagiarism by the student himself or take home plagiarism by others falls into this category as long as the percentage of plagiarism is high. Plagiarism control scanners are used in this subject

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 irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

The students will have the right to review the results of the tests carried out. The professor will establish the mechanisms to do so, during office hours.

No type of individual special exam will be established outside of the dates established for common students. Any imponderable that may affect a specific student, with duly documented justification, will be resolved within the framework of the dates and calls set for all and with the arbitration of the Coordination of Studies, if necessary. No favorable treatment will be granted to one another based on personal or professional circumstances.

Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.
