1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

The continuous assessment of this subject consists of the following system:

a) An individual task based on the activities conducted by the student in class during the semester. These activities will be delivered and self-assessed in class. To have the option to get the full grade, 80% of submitted activities is required. This activity represents 15% of the final grade. Since this activity depends on the attendance, it cannot be recovered.

b) An individual task related with the activities conducted in class that represents 15% of the final grade.

c) A group task. The guidelines will be explained the first day in class and will be published in Moodle. A partial delivery will be required. Booking tutorials before submitting is strongly recommended to guarantee a successful grade since it cannot be recovered nor improved. This assignment represents 20% of the final grade.

c) An oral presentation in group. Since it is in group, it cannot be recovered nor improved, so it is recommended to prepare it properly and book tutorials if needed. Clarity and structure will be valued. This task represents 10% of the final grade.

d) Two partial exams, which will be worth 40% of the final grade (20% each exam).

A minimum grade of 4 out of 10 is required in each of the parts subject to evaluation to contribute to the final grade.

On the day of the final exam it will be possible to recover: any partial exam or individual task with a grade lower than 4

Once the final grade is published (after the final exam), students with a final grade between 3.5 and 4.9 will have the opportunity to recover the subject in the re-evaluation:

• The re-evaluation will consist of a single exam which will include all the material of the subject.
• The maximum grade that can be obtained ¡n the reevaluation is 5. That is, if the student passes the re-evaluation, the final grade of the subject will be 5.

2. SINGLE EVALUATION

It is possible to have a single evaluation in this subject, with the authorisation of the professor and the coordinator. This authorisation needs to be obtained in the first month of classes (February 2025). The application dates will be published and cannot be changed.

Single evaluation will be graded based on these evidences:

a) The single delivery of a portfolio specially designed for the single evaluation system. It will be highly valued that the document submitted is complete, as well as the quality of the answers provided to the different activities. This delivery will be done on the day of the final exam and represents 40% of the final grade of the subject. It is mandatory to attend at least one tutorial to be able to deliver this work.

b) A theoretical and cartographic exam that will include all the content of the subject. It will take place on the day of the final exam and will count for 60% of the final grade of the subject.

A miminum grade of 4 out of 10 is required in each of the parts subject to evaluation to add to the final grade.

The re-evaluation of the subject by single evaluation will be the same as the re-evaluation by continuous assessment. To take the re-evaluation it will be necessary to have obtained at least 3.5in the final grade of the subject (based on the set of evidences included in the single evaluation).

The grade for the subject will be NOT EVALUABLE when the student attends less than half of the assessment activities and/or does not attend the final exam.
