Evaluation

Evaluation criteria

Both the knowledge acquired by the student in relation to the objectives set in the subject and the skills and competences developed will be taken into account in the final score of the course.

a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities

The subject will be assessed through:

- Mid-term exam (April): It will consist of a test-type exam on topics 1, 2, 3 and some sections of topic 4. This test is worth 40% of the final grade.

- Final exam (June): It will consist of a test-type exam on the remaining lessons, not evaluated on the first exam. This test is worth 40% of the final grade.

- Continuous assessment activities (the teacher will indicate at the beginning of the course the number and submission date), which will be submitted individually or in groups (according to the teacher's instructions).

In the event that a student cannot attend a session for a justified reason, they must notify the teacher two days in advance and provide the corresponding proof.

Only those students who do not achieve a final grade of 5 out of 10 once the percentages of the entire evaluation process have been weighted, can opt for second-call exam. In other words, only if after calculating the score of the mid-term exam (40%) , final exam (40%) and continuous assessment (20%) the student does not reach a 5/10, there is the option to go to the second call. The second call will consist of a test covering all the topics of the course plus a case study to be completed.

There is no special treatment for students that did not pass the course on previous years.

b) Programming of assessment activities

The dates of the continuous assessment sessions will be published in the virtual space (Virtual Campus) and may be subject to schedule changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents. These changes will always bereported in the virtual space as it is understood to be the usual mechanism for information exchange between teacher and students.

c) Second-call examination

Students who have not passed the course after calculating the three assessment tests (mid-term exam, final exam and continuous assessment activity) can access to the second call. This will consist of the following tests:

 

1. A test covering all the lessons of the course.

2. A case study applying any of the topics learned in the course.

 

 d) Qualification review procedure

Continuous assessment activities will be reviewed in group sessions following the publication of grades. The mid term evaluations can be reviewed individually, upon request. 

e) Grades

- The grade of Not Evaluated will only be given to those students who do not participate in any of the assessment activities.

- The lecturer may assign Honors to those students who have stood out throughout the course, both for the grades obtained in the practical sessions and partial tests, and for their participation in class. In order to qualify for Honors  a minimum grade of 9 at the end of the subject will be required.

f) Irregularities by the student, copying, use of IA and plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade will be given a zero (0). For example, plagiarising, copying, submitting an activity fully generated by IA, allowing copying, etc., of an assessment activity, will result in failing that assessment activity with a zero (0). Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be failed directly, with no opportunity to recover it in the course.

h) Single evaluation

Single evaluation will only be accepted upon request by the student during the first week of the course and duly justified. Eligible students who opt for this evaluation will have a final exam covering the following:

- A test-type examination of the entire course. (70%)

- A case study with questions to be completed. (20%)

- Oral presentation of a topic related to the programme (10%)

- Second-call examination: If a student do not pass this exam, will have the possibility to access the second call, in the same conditions stated in section c) above.
