REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THE SUBJECT

For evaluative purposes, the course is divided into 2 blocks: a) Block first part of theory that includes the subject of theory corresponding to topics 1 to 6; b) Block second part of theory that includes the matter of theory of the subjects 7 to 11 and the 2 seminars/practical lessons.

To pass the subject, you must have passed each of the three Blocks with a minimum grade of 5.0.

Students will have two opportunities to pass each of the Blocks: the first, in the calls for partial assessments and the second in the resit  (recovery) test.

 

CONTINUED EVALUATION

1. Partial evaluations

There will be two partial assessments of the subject during the course. The dates will be set by the Coordination Team of the Teaching Unit. These assessments, if passed, will serve to eliminate material from the recovery test. Each exam will result in a separate grade. The questions will have a multiple choice format with five answer options and only one valid option.

The exam questions are written in Catalan and Spanish.

A correction will be applied to discount random hits [Corrected score = (hits - (errors / 4))] which will be transformed into a note that can vary between 0 and 10.

The first partial evaluation will consist of an examination: First partial theory, of between 36-40 questions on the contents of the Block first part of theory;

The second partial evaluation, will include exams: a) Second partial theory, between 30-36 questions on the contents of the Block second part of theory, and 6-10 questions on the contents of the 2 seminars/practical lessons. 

After each assessment, students will have a period of 24 hours to send, through the Virtual Campus, comments or complaints about the questions, which will be analyzed by teachers before publishing the provisional list of grades. An examination review session will be convened after the list is published.

 

2. Attendance and active participation in class and virtual activities

2.1. Active participation in class: Throughout the semester, there will be 2 evaluation activities, during the seminars/practices, with the aim that students can demonstrate their active participation in the teaching process of the subject. 

 

RECOVERY TEST

Students who have not passed the subject by means of the partial evaluations will be able to present to a Test of recovery the day fixed by the Coordination Team of the Teaching Unit. The test will consist of 2 parts: a) First partial theory; b) Second partial theory, including questions on the contents of the 2 seminars/practices.

The characteristics of the exams as well as the formula for calculating the grade will be the same as those of the partial assessments.

After the exams, students will have a period of 24 hours to send comments or complaints about the questions through the Virtual Campus, which will be analyzed by the teachers before publishing the provisional list of grades. An examination review session will be convened after the list is published.

Students who have not passed the subject through partial assessments and who on the day of the Recovery Test do not take the exam or exams of the parts not passed, will be classified as "NOT EVALUABLE".

 

FINAL MARK OF THE SUBJECT

Final mark (final grade) = (((First partial grade) + (Second partial grade)/2)*0.85) + (grade of the short questions of the practicals/seminars part * 0.15).

This formula will only be applied in the case that a mark of 5.0 has been obtained in each of the 2 Blocks of the subject.

The final mark of the students who have not passed the three parts of the subject after the Recovery Test, will be:

In the event that the resulting grade after applying the formula for calculating the Final Grade is ≤ 4.7, that grade will be placed.
In the event that the resulting grade after applying the formula for calculating the Final Grade is> 4.7, the final grade will be 4.7.

 

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

The people assigned to the SINGLE EVALUATION will have AN EVALUATION TEST at the end of the course, coinciding with the "RECOVERY TEST" of the people with "CONTINUED EVALUATION", which will have the same characteristics and will be scored the same as what has been described above. This evaluation will include:

(I)- Two PARTIAL evaluations (2 partial exams): (1st PARTIAL + 2nd PARTIAL) * 0.85

(II)- A "test of 6-8 short questions" that will correspond to the 2 seminars/classroom practices. (Mark of "test of short questions") * 0.15

The FINAL MARK/GRADE will be the sum of (I) + (II).

 

RECOVERY TEST FOR PEOPLE WITH "SINGLE ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION"

The RECOVERY TEST for people with SINGLE ASSESSMENT will consist of an exam with short questions, 1 question for each theory topic and 1 question for each practice/seminar (total 13 short questions).
