The student has to work bearing in mind that learning mathematics requires daily practice. Learning is based on mathematical DOING, showing a pro-active attitude. Students are expected to take responsibility for expanding and consolidating their basic mathematical knowledge in an autonomous manner.

The specific nature of some of the assessment activities will depend on whether the student takes the continuous assessment or the single assessment. The assessment criteria will be the same for all those enrolled on the course.

TYPOLOGY AND WEIGHT OF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES:
There are different types of assessment activities:
- Planning, resolution and report of activities: a series of linked mathematical activities will be proposed to be developed in small groups, which will be presented and discussed in seminars (15% of the mark for the course).
- Planning, development and project report. The students, organised in small groups, will be asked to plan and develop a geometry project to be presented to the rest of the classmates (15% of the course mark).
- Individual resolution test: For the first two blocks of the course (Block I: Curriculum; Block II: Numeracy and Calculus), students must take an individual follow-up test (20% of the course mark).

Continuous assessment students will do the individual resolution test one week after completing Block II of Numeracy and Calculus, as well as the completion of the activities. Teachers will publish the dates of the test and the follow-up examinations of the blocks when publishing the programme, as the dates depend on the timetable of the blocks.

In the case of students who take the single evaluation, they must submit the written report of the activity and/or project and they must complete a written activity to validate the report they have submitted. The delivery of the reports and the validation tests will take place on the day of the final evaluation.

FINAL TEST: Two weeks afterfinishing the course there will be an individual final test of the whole course content (50% of the course mark). The date of the final exam is the week of 18/06/2025 according to the day of the week that the group takes the course.

RECUPERATION TEST: Those students who have a mark higher than 3.5 in the final exam but do not get a mark of 5 can take a RECUPERATION test (50% weight - in substitution of the mark of the final exam). The make-up test will take place two weeks after the final test, on the week of 02/07/2025 according to the day of the week that the group is taught in this subject.

Note: Only the final exam can be recuperated. You will not be able to recuperate the partial test of the first two blocks, nor the group work.

CALCULATION OF THE MARK FOR THE COURSE

The final grade for the course is the weighted average of the marks obtained in the assessment activities of the first two blocks (20%), of the Planning, resolution and report of activities (15%), of the Planning, development and project report of the geometry block (15%), and of the mark obtained in the final exam or the recuperation exam (with a weight of 50%), subject to the following conditions:

- in order to be eligible to obtain a weighted average with the rest of the marks of the course, the student must have obtained a minimum mark of 5 in the final test or the recuperation test. If the student does not obtain a minimum of 5 in the final exam or in the recuperation test, he/she does not pass the course and the final qualification of the course will be a 3
- late submission of the evaluation activities will result in a 0 in the evaluation of the same.
- non-attendance at the follow-up test of the first two blocks will result in a 0 in the evaluation of the same.
- the evaluation activities cannot be recuperated in any case, apart from the written test.
- despite having passed the final test or, if applicable, the recuperation, if the weighted average of the marks does not reach5, the student does not pass the course and the final mark on their transcript will be a 3.

 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS ON THE EVALUATION

Students must take into account the following normative considerations regarding the evaluation:
- In individual written tests it is not allowed to use the calculator, unless indicated by the teacher.
- The use of Artificial Intelligence tools is not allowed in the evaluation activities.
- All evaluation activities are compulsory for all students.
- The mark for a group work is not necessarily the individual mark of each student in the group.
- Students who do not attend the seminar sessions during the development of the assessment activities of a block will have a maximum mark of 5 for those activities.
- The copying or plagiarism of material in any assessment activity implies a 0 in the course.

 ATTENDANCE AND EVALUATION

The course is face-to-face. Students who do not attend the seminar sessions during the assessment activities will receive a maximum mark of 5 out of those sessions. This consideration applies to both continuous evaluation students and single evaluation students.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
The examinations and the test corresponding to the continuous evaluation of the first two blocks will take place one week after the end of the block, as established below (type and weight of the evaluation activities).
The dates set for the final exam and the recuperation exam are the same as those established for all students enrolled in the course.

 SINGLE EVALUATION

Students who take the single evaluation must follow the development of the course, attending class regularly. However, they WILL NOT PRESENT THE FOLLOW-UP EVALUATION ACTIVITIES UNTIL THE SAME DAY OF THE FINAL EXAM. For this reason, they will NOT HAVE ANY individualised RETURN of the follow-up evaluation activities during the development of thecourse. In any case, they will be able to access the general feedback, either that which is done during the feedback sessions to the whole class or that which is published on the virtual campus by the group.

Specific to students taking the single evaluation is the date of collection of the evaluation evidence and the requirement for a test to validate the evidence collected. The teaching team of the course considers it necessary to carry out a validation test of the evidence collected because the students will have access to the process of returning the activities and the project and to the corrected evidence of their classmates.

The date for the deliveries and the tests for the validation and the test of the first two blocks is the same as that established for the final test, the week of 18/06/2025 according to the day of the week that the group takes this subject.

Therefore, on the week of 18/06/2025, depending on the day of the week that the group takes this subject, students taking the single evaluation will have to:
- Do the same final test and at the same time as the rest of the people in the course; the same conditions will apply to the recuperation test if necessary.
- Take an individual written test to evaluate the first two blocks.
- Complete the evaluation activities and take the validation test.
- Complete the geometry project and take the validation test.

Students who have been accepted to a single evaluation with a mark higher or equal to 3.5 and lower than 5 can take a recuperation test, which will be the same for all the students of the course and will be held on the same day (the week of 02/07/2024 according to schedule).

The weight of the evaluation of the different blocks and of the final test (or in its case the recuperation) and the calculation of the final mark of the course are the same for all the students of the course, even if they have taken a single evaluation. The other specific considerations regarding evaluation also applyto both continuous evaluation students and single evaluation students.

It is essential that students taking the single evaluation reserve the ENTIRE DAY of the final EVALUATION in order to have time to complete all the tests that will constitute their evaluation evidence.

ATTENTION REPEATERS:

From the academic year 2023-24, there will be NO EVALUATION OF SYNTHESIS for this subject. Therefore, those enrolling for the second time will be able to choose between a continuous EVALUATION or a single evaluation.
In both cases, the conditions regarding attendance will be the same as those applicable to the applicable are the same as for the rest of the students enrolled in the course. Therefore, we recommend that students repeating the course ensure that they have the time available to follow it regularly, if necessary, avoiding enrolling in other courses taught on the same day at the same time slot.

NOTE: In order to pass this course, it is necessary to show a good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the language or languages listed in the teaching guide. In all activities (individual and group), therefore, linguistic accuracy, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be taken into account. You must be able to express yourself fluently and correctly and show a high level of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not evaluated) or failed if it is considered that it does not satisfy these requirements.
