The course is assessed with two partial exams, three essays and participation activities in class.
Unique assessment: Whoever opts for the single assessment must follow the procedure agreed by the faculty, requesting it within the established deadline. The assessment will consist of a written test (75%) and the handing in of the three essays (25%) on the date of the subject's final exam.
Recovery: In those cases in which the subject is suspended with a grade higher than 3.5, you can opt for a make-up test. The highest grade that can be obtained in this test is a 5.
The student will receive the grade of "Not assessable" as long as he has not delivered more than 1/3 of the assessment activities.
Plagiarism: In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.
