Methodologies Description Qualification
Workshop Continuous assessment will take place using in-class quizzes and participation during classes. All quizzes can involve multiple choice, matching, true-false questions, fill in the blank questions or short answer and essay questions. Quizzes make up 50% of the final grade, whereas participation in class will add up another 20% 65
Laboratory practice Grading of lab sessions will be carried out with the lab quizzes and the exam on fossil identification 10
Objective test As stated in Step 5, grading is primarily based on the idea of continuous assessment and so, the final exam IS NOT REQUIRED for those students being successful during this continuous assessment. For the rest of students a final exam will be carried out for the specific parts of the subject (i. e., theory 70%, case studies 20% or lab sessions 10%) that they failed 0
Case study The students are expected to produce a short written summary and an oral presentation on a case study that will both be graded 25
 
Assessment comments

Students are required to obtain a final grade of at least 5.0 out of 10 to pass this subject. However, each of the three main parts making up the assessment (theory, case studies and lab sessions) can be compensated among them getting a grade of at least 4.0. Students passing any of the three parts (theory, case studies and lab sessions) are given the opportunity to keep this mark for the two grading opportunities (January and July), being only examined of those parts which they failed. However, all the teaching-learning process of this subject is based on the idea of being developed in the current term. This means that for successive terms the student is suppossed to fullfill all the assignments scheduled for those specific terms.

The grade "No Show" will be given only to those students who have not participated in more than 20% of the activities being assessed during the term.
