ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES AND EVALUATION DATES AND EVALUATION OF THE SUBJECT

The teaching staff will return the grades between 15 and 20 working days after the delivery of the assignments.

In order to calculate the weighted average and pass the module, you must obtain a grade of 3.5 or higher in each part. In case of not obtaining the minimum final grade to pass the module, a specific work of the failed part with a lower grade will be required as a recovery mechanism.

To pass this module, the student must demonstrate good general communication skills, both orally, in writing, and with audiovisual language. A good command of the language or vehicular languages listed in the teaching guide is also required. In all activities, linguistic correction, writing and formal aspects of presentation will therefore be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.

In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, he 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 module, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

Re-evaluation: may 10.
