Theorical avaluation 30 8 0.32 CA10, KA16, KA17
Theorical avaluation DRJD 30 8 0.32 CA09, KA15, KA16, KA17

The evaluation is continuous. Students must demonstrate their progress by completing the assessment activities. The schedule of these activities, as well as details about each of them and their weight in the final evaluation will be provided at the beginning of classes.

At the time of delivering the final grade prior to the report, the teacher will communicate in writing a review date and time.

Single evaluation

Students who take the single evaluation must take the exam, which will consist of a practical part (40%), a theoretical part (40%), and a reading part, where it must be demonstrated that they have read the mandatory readings (20 %).

Recovery

Students who have taken activities whose weight is equivalent to 66.6% (two thirds) or more of the final grade and who have obtained a weighted average grade of 3.5 or more will be able to access the recovery. In no case may a reevaluation activity be carried out for the value of 100% of the final grade.

At the time of delivering the final grade prior to the course report, the teacher will communicate the recovery procedure in writing. The teacher can propose a recovery activity for each suspended or not presented activity or can group various activities into one.

Consideration of "not evaluable"

A "not evaluable" will be assigned when the evaluation evidence provided by the student is equivalent to a maximum of a quarter of the total grade for the subject.

 

Use of AI

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the assignment. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI may beconsidered an academic irregularity and may result in a penalty on the assignment grade or the application of the consequences provided in the following next section

Irregularities in evaluation activities

In the event that the student makes any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded 0, regardless of the
disciplinary process that can be instituted. In the event that various irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0. Evaluation activities in which irregularities have occurred (such as plagiarism, copying) are excluded from recovery. , identity theft).
