Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
01. Questions on the contents of the previous lessosn (first assessment period) 30% 0 0 6, 2, 3, 1, 23, 4, 7, 11, 10, 9, 18, 15, 14, 16, 17, 20, 8, 5, 24
02. Questions about the contents of lessons after week 9 (second assessment period) 30% 0 0 6, 2, 3, 1, 23, 4, 7, 11, 10, 9, 12, 13, 18, 15, 14, 16, 17, 22, 19, 20, 8, 5, 24
03. Practices report (week 15) 40 % 0 0 6, 2, 3, 1, 23, 4, 7, 11, 10, 9, 12, 13, 18, 15, 14, 16, 17, 22, 21, 19, 20, 8, 5, 24

Activities 1 and 2 make up the theory grade (60%) and activity 3 the practice grade (40%). To pass the subject, the sum of the three activities, weighted by the indicated percentage, must give a minimum grade of 5.0. It is therefore not necessary to pass theory and practice separately.

Activities 1 and 2 will be done individually and presentially, while activity 3 (practice) will be done in groups.

The activities can be done in Catalan or Spanish. The delivery of the translation of the face-to-face assessment tests will be carried out if the requirements established in article 263 are met and your request is made in week 4 electronically (e-form) (more information on the faculty's website ).

The person who has carried out activities whose weight in the evaluation of the subject is less than 65% will be considered NON-ASSESSABLE. If you have carried out activities that would allow you to reach 66% or more of the maximum mark and the minimum mark of 5.0 has not been reached, you will be able to access a make-up exam for the theory part and/or present the work of practices as recovery. The theory recovery exam will consist of a test of multiple- choice items that will encompass the content covered throughout the course.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

 The students who opt for the single assessment option waive continuous assessment and will be assessed for all the contents of the subject in a single assessment, which will take place on the same day and place that the test of second assessment period of the subject (evidence 2).

 This evaluation act will consist of two exams that will have the same format and include the same content as evidence 1 and 2 of the continuous evaluation. Apart from the two exams, the person will hand in the practical work corresponding to evidence 3.

 The duration of the single assessment will be a maximum of 3 hours, corresponding to 1 hour and a half for each of the exams.

 The conditions for passing the subjectand access to recovery for students who take the single assessment will be the same as those for students who follow the continuous assessment.

 The single assessment is requested electronically (e-form) in the specific period (more information on the faculty's website).
