The evaluation of the student will be based on the following distribution:
1.- Theoretical tests ..................................................................... 60%
1.1.- Review of fundamentals of nutrition: .................. 30%
1.2.- Applied nutrition test: .......................................30%
2.- Practical tests ......................................................................... 40%
2.1.- Assistance ......................................................10%
2.2.- Cases ........................................................... 30%
2.2.1- Oral presentation .............................. 5%
2.2.2-Fundamentals of nutrition ................... 15%
2.2.3- Cases of applied nutrition .................. 10%
NOTE: It is necessary to pass with a minimum grade of 5 the theoretical exam to be able to pass the subject.
To carry out the assessment, two theoretical examinations will be done with test questions.
The practical tests will be derived from:
Students who do not pass the subject will need to take a new theoretical evaluative exam or resubmit the failed cases. Once the subject has been evaluated, each student will be informed about which part of the subject they have passed and which part, if any, they need to recover.
Students who fail any of the assessments will need to take a new theoretical evaluative exam or resubmit the cases not presented. This new assessment will take place at the same time as the recovery assessments.
Students who do not participate in assessable activities that account for at least 15% of the total grade will be considered as "Not Assessable".
This subject does not contemplate the single assessment system.
