1.Written assessment using objective tests: multiple-choice questions.

Its objective is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge of the subject worked through the different training activities (theory and seminars). It will be carried out once the totality of the teaching of the subject has been completed. It consists of: test questions with 4 answer options and only 1 correct option. The errors subtract according to the following formula: x = correct answers-(errors/n-1), where n is the number of answer options.

It represents 50% of the final grade. A minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 is needed to be able to pass the subject.

2. Practical evaluation: preparation and oral defense of written work.

Elaboration, presentation and defense of a work carried out in group, of complementary theme to the one worked during the theory sessions. The presentation and defense will take place during the seminar sessions. The content worked on will be evaluated, as well as the oral presentation made by each of the members of the group.

The preparation of the  work accounts for 30% of the grade and the presentation/defense of the work accounts for 20%  of the grade. The non-attendance on the day of the presentation implies a Non-Evaluable in the presentation of the work. A minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 is needed to be able to pass the subject.

Attendance at seminars is compulsory. Any unjustified absence will subtract 0.5 points from the final grade of the subject.

 OBTAINING THE FINAL GRADE

The grade of the subject is the sum of the grades of the proposed evaluation activities. The requirement to be able to make this sum isto have obtained the minimum score required in each part that requires it. The non-passing of any or all of these parts that requires a minimum grade implies the non-passing of the subject.

It will be understood by not evaluable that student who has not presented any of the evaluation activities.

Students who have not passed the subject through continuous evaluation may take a recovery test. To participate in the recovery activity, students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject (article 112 ter. of the UAB evaluation regulations).  The maximum grade that will be obtained from the specific recovery test will be a 5, which will be average with the rest of the evaluation activities.

The student has the right to review the evaluation tests. For this purpose, the date will be specified in the Virtual Campus.

According to agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 11/17/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the qualifications will be:

From 0 to 4.9 = Fail
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Approved/Pass
From 7.0 to 8.9 = Notable
From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
When the student does not attend any or any of the planned evaluation activities, they will receive the grade of not assessable.

 

SINGLE-ASSESSMENT

Students who follow the single assessment modality offered by this subject will take the evaluation tests during the exam week planned in January / February (coinciding on the date with the recovery exam of those students who have not opted for the single assessment). The evaluation tests will be as follow:

• A written evaluation type exam through objective tests: multiple choice questions, of the same characteristicsas that carried out by the continuous assessment students, where the contents worked during the theoretical classes will be evaluated. This test will be 50% of the final mark.
• A written evaluation type exam through objective tests: short answer questions, where the contents worked during the seminars will be evaluated. For the preparation of this test, bibliography will be provided, which will come from that used for the elaboration of the works carried out in the seminars by the students of continuous evaluation. This test will be 50% of the final mark.

The minimum mark necessary for each test to pass the subject will be 5 points out of 10. In case of not passing any of the tests, a date will be specified to be able to carry out the recovery of the suspended test. As in the evaluation of continuous assessment students, the maximum grade of the recovery test will be 5 points, which will average with the rest of the evaluation tests to obtain the final grade.
