Continuous Assessment System

 

Examinations: There will be a single final exam, which will cover 100% of the subject’s content. A minimum mark of 3.5 out of 10 is required in order to average it with the rest of the assessment activities. If this mark is not achieved (and if the requirements mentioned below are met), it will be necessary to take the resit exam. The exam will account for 50% of the final course grade.

 

Completion and Submission of Practical Activities: Throughout the course, students will be required to submit exercises and/or other types of practical activities, which may be (at the discretion of the teaching team) individual or group-based. The overall weight of these activities will be 50% of the final course grade.

 

If a student, through this continuous assessment system, obtains a mark equal to or greater than 5, but does not achieve the minimum mark of 3.5 in the exam and does not attend the retake exam, the final mark will be 4.8 – Fail (and this will be recorded in the academic record).

 

Single Assessment System

 

The single assessment consists of a single exam, the mark of which will account for 100% of the course's grade. This exam will take place on the same day, at the same time and in the same rooms as the final exam for the continuous assessment.

 

Only students who have not participated in any continuous assessment activity may opt for the single assessment.

 

Retake exam

 

Students who have not passed the course via continuous or single assessment (but who have obtained a minimum final mark of 2.5 out of 10) will have a final opportunity consisting of a retake exam covering the entire subject. The mark obtained in this retake exam will account for 100% of the final grade for the course (other assessment activities will not be considered).

 

Other Considerations

 

Each student must attend the assessment scheduled for their group. In accordance with current regulations, assessment tests will not be rescheduled except in the exceptional cases provided for by the regulations (reasons such as exams at other institutions, previously scheduled medical appointments, travel, etc. are not included).

 

In the case of activities which, individually, do not account for more than 15% of the assessment, these cannot be rescheduled or retaken under any circumstances.

 

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, any irregularities committed by a student that could lead to a change in the grade will result in a mark of zero (0). For example, plagiarising, copying, allowing others to copy, etc., in an assessment activity will result in a mark of zero (0) for that activity. Assessment activities marked in this way and by this procedure cannot be retaken. If passing any of these assessment activities is necessary to pass the subject, the subject will be failed directly, with no opportunity to retake it in the same academic year.

 

The dates for continuous assessment and submissions will be published on the Moodle platform and may be subject to change due to adaptation to possible incidents. Changes to the dates of activities within the working days of the academic calendar will not entitle students to rescheduling (except as provided for in the regulations). All such changes will be communicated via Moodle, as this is considered the usual platform for information exchange between lecturers and students.
