General issues (continuous and single assessment)
As a whole, to pass the subject the student must obtain a grade of 5 out of 10.
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
The dates of completion of the tests in the classroom and delivery of work will be communicated to the students at the beginning of the course.
Recovery:
Students must have been previously assessed in a set of activities the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total grade (CONTINUOUS EVALUATION) or submit all the planned tests (SINGLE EVALUATION). In addition, the student must have a final average grade of at least 3.5 points (CONTINUOUS EVALUATION or SINGLE EVALUATION). Only those tests taken and suspended during the course that have been graded with a minimum of 20% of the value of each activity may be recovered.
The maximum mark that can be obtained in the reevaluation is 5.0 (Pass)
Single assessment: the same assessment (and recovery) method as continuous assessment will be used.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 1/3 of the assessment items.
Warnings:
The copy of written sources (internet, books, works, etc.) and presented as original is a 0 in the grade of the exercise or written test. Several irregularities committed will imply a global score of zero.
