Continuous assessment (AC): 2 partial exams

There will be 2 partial exams. The assessment is 40% of the total grade, in each case. Each test may include theoretical and / or practical aspects. Each test will score on 10 pt):

 1st partial exam: Industrial Rocks ± Heritage Rocks. Theoretical and practical contents. Weight: 40% total grade AC

 2nd partial exam: Industrial Minerals ± Heritage Rocks. Theoretical and practical contents. Weight. 40% total grade AC

 The student who presents to one of the partial ones will not be able to opt to the qualification "not presented", since each partial one weighs in an amount ≥ 35%.

 1st Partial Exam: consists of 3 parts: 1: Industrial Rocks_1 (test), 2: Industrial Rocks_2 (short questions of various formats) 3: Heritage Rocks. Held on Friday 24/04/2020. Rating on 10 points. The weighting of the parts is: 1: 25% -2: 25% -3: 50%. 40% of the continuous assessment mark.

 2nd Partial Exam: with 2 parts: 1. Industrial Minerals + Practices 3 and 4 _1 (test) 2. Industrial Minerals + Practices 3 and 4_2 (short questions of varied format). Rating on 10 points. The weighting of the parts is 1: 50%, 2: 50%. 40% of the continuous assessment mark.

The mark obtained in these partial exams will be complemented  with the marks obtained in the exercises or theoretical or practical problems that may be raised with a fixed date of presentation also mandatory prior to the date of each partial examination. In the case of the first exam, the mark will be modified according to thefollowing scale:1st Partial mark = 15% Practica_1 delivery mark –15% Practica_2 delivery mark - 70% exam mark.
In the case of the second exam, the mark will be modified according to the following scale: 15% Practica_3 delivery mark - 15% Practica_4 delivery mark - 70% exam mark.

For the written work, the effort in the search for quality information, the degree of own elaboration of the content, spelling correction, care in the presentation, degree of group coordination and explication of all the credits of the materials used will be particularly valued (any work that does not contain ALL the duly accredited figures -author / s name and year of publication + citation in the bibliography and all citations in the bibliography section duly inserted in the text, may eventually be considered failed).The evaluation of this work will be 20% of the continuous evaluation mark. In case of non- assignment of this work, the marks of the partial exams will be weighted 0.5 instead of 0.4.

-Continuous assessment grade (grade AC) = (Grade 1 partial x 0.4) + (Grade 2 partial x 0.4) + (Grade Work contents x 0.1 or 0.2 -If there is no exposure -) + (Note Exhibition work x 0.1 or 0 if there is no exhibition)

To pass the subject (passed) for continuous assessment, the AC mark must be equal to or greater than or equal to 5 and the marks for each part must be higher than 3. The marks lower than 3 in a partial prevent the calculation of the AC mark. (not assessable)
and the student must appear in the corresponding part of the final recovery test.

Final test:

It will be necessary to recover any partial in which the qualification has been less than or equal to 3. The final test will consist of two parts: Recovery of Partial 1: INDUSTRIALROCKS ± HERITAGE ROCKS and Recoveryof partial 2: INDUSTRIAL MINERALS ± HERITAGE ROCKS.
It will be possible to do either of the two parts (or both) to improve the final note of the asignatura. In the event that a lower grade is obtained than that obtained in the corresponding part, the higher grade will be maintained.
If in any of the parts the mark is still lower than 3, the final grade will be suspended (in case of an average higher than 5 the mark will be reduced in this case to 4.9).

It will benecessary to notify in advance about the part or parts of the final test that will be done. The teacher will implement a list with a registration deadline for this exam. Students who have not passed the CA have the obligation to take the final test (partials not passed) and do not need to be notified to take this final test. Students who present themselves to improve their mark do have the obligation to notify and in the event that they do not do so, they may be excluded from the test for which they have not notified within the stipulated time.

In no case will there be a second final test of recovery, except for students who for a major and documented reason have not been able to attend any of the partials or recoveries.

All exams will consist of a test-type part with multiple-choice questions and a short-answer question section. For the objective part of the test-type part: Valid answered option: 1pt, unanswered option: 0pt, incorrect answered option: (- 0.25pt).
