Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Attendance and participation in the sessions (workshops, debates, .plenary, ..) 20% 0 0 KA11, SA09
Activities during the development of the module (recensiones, deliveries in the platform of the activities, ...) 30% 0 0 CA10, CA13, KA10, SA09
Memory / individual work of the module 50% 0 0 CA10, CA11, CA12, CA13, KA09, KA10, KA11, SA09

  • The evaluation of the module will be carried out through the activities that they specify.
  • The final grade will be the weighted average of the planned activities. To apply this criterion it will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 4 in all activities, those carried out during the development of the module and in the memory / final work of the module.
  • Class attendance is mandatory. In order to obtain a positive final evaluation, the student will have to attend 80% of the face-to-face sessions.
  • The procedure for reviewing the evaluation will be carried out individually.

This subject adheres to the single evaluation option, which exclusively affects the deadline for submitting evaluation activities.
