Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EV1. Test part I (first evaluation week) | 30 | 0.75 | 0.03 | KM01, KM02, KM03, KM04 |
| EV2. Test part II (second evaluation week) | 30 | 0.75 | 0.03 | KM01, KM03, KM04 |
| EV3. Works seminar | 40 | 0 | 0 | CM01, CM02, KM04, SM01 |
The evaluation is continuous, there will be activities of analysis, synthesis, preparation of written reports and exams. There are individual and other group activities.
Evidence of learning will be of two types:
1.Works: these may be prepared individually or in small groups, some in oral format and others in written format and not all will have the same weight in the final grade. Face-to-face and campus delivery.
2. Exams: There will be two written exams, one that corresponds to the introductory elements of the subject and to the didactic module I, and the other exam that corresponds to the didactic modules II and III. Individual and face-to-face.
Consequently, the final grade of the course will be formed as follows: EV1 30%, EV2 30% and EV3 40%.
Feedback from the different assessment activities will be given with sufficient time for the student to progress adequately in their learning process: EV1- In the classroom, Week 10; EV2- Tutoring, Week 20; EV3- Moodle classroom, Week 15.
It must be borne in mind that the single assessment does NOT imply that the student does not attend class or that they do not have to follow the schedule of the subject and will take EV1 and EV2 and hand in EV3 on the same day as the rest of their classmates take EV2.The duration of the evaluation can be 3 hours.
Definition of passing the subject: The subject will always be approved when the weighted average grade is equal to or higher than 5,0 points and the grade for EV1; EV2 and EV3 is equal to or higher than 5,0.
Definition of Non-assessable in the subject: A student who has not submitted evidence of learning with a weight equal to or greater than 40% will be listed as "Non-assessable".
Right to reassessment: To be eligible for reassessment, the following two requirements must be met: a) Not passing the subject and b) Submitted learning evidence with a weight equal to or greater than 2/3 of the total grade. Reassessment grade to be stated in the academic record will be 5,0 (out of 10).
The single assessment is requested electronically (E-Form) in the specific period (more information on the Faculty's website).
"Students with 2ª or later enrollment are not expected to be assessed by a single non-recoverable synthesis test."
