Assessment comments | |||
1) Class attendance is compulsory for both methodologies workshop and supervised projects (theoretical and practical sessions) as well as the tutoring attendance. Students who fail to attend to the 80% to all classes will be recorded as “Absent”. Absences due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances should not exceed the remaining 20%. Attendance will be recorded by the completion of a series of tests in time and form, exercises and all the scheduled deliveries for the different methodologies. Students under part-time commitment and other UDC academic exemptions, will not have to meet the previous attendance requirement. However, they will have to meet, everything in relation to the delivery of all the assignments. 2) In both methodologies, all the exams will be evaluated by the whole staff of lecturers of the subject to guarantee the homogeneity of the level in all the subgroups. 3) The final grade for the course will be the arithmetic mean of the marks achieved by the students in both methodologies, according to the criteria established in each case and obtained according to the percentages (%) indicated above. Weighted average in the Supervised Projects intends to express the desire to give more value to the latest projects so that to allow the students to mature their graphic skills towards the end of the four-month period. VERY IMPORTANT: A mark under 5 in one of the methodologies (workshop or Supervised Projects), will result in a failing grade in this subject. In an extraordinary way, students who have passed one of the methodologies and failed the other at the first opportunity, will not have to repeat the approved part at the second opportunity. Students who have to take the subject again the next year, will have to pass both methodologies again. 4) In relation to the delivery of all the assignments, the following requirements, will be taken into account:
Late delivery is not allowed. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be recorded as “Absent”. For both methodologies, Students under part-time commitment and other UDC academic exemptions, will have to meet the delivery dates of all the assignments. In case this is not possible, they will have to agree with their teachers a new delivery date in advance, as well as for doing the exam (control exercise) if it is needed. In order to pass the module, either during the first-opportunity term exams in June, or during the second-opportunity examination period in July, students will be required to have done 100% of all assigned work in each methodology, and achieve the minimum specified mark for each of the compulsory assignments, under the appropriate direction and supervision of the professor. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be recorded as ‘Absent (NP)’ and have their assessment deferred to a subsequent examination period. Project supervision will only be deemed to have taken place where the supervising lecturer can confirm that student work on projects during class time is consistent with work completed outside of class hours. Students who fail to attend the weekly tutorial meetings (at the minimum 1 hour), will be recorded as “Absent”. 5) Second Opportunity (July) Students who need to sit for the second opportunity, should develop all the assignments assessed as “absent” and/or those that hadn´t got the minimum mark to get a pass in the first opportunity. In addition, they should take into account the following requirements:
Students who only sit for the second opportunity (in July), will be strictly required to do all the assigned work during the course with particular emphasis to the teacher supervision of all these tasks. 7) Given the emphasis on personalized teaching and learning in this module, students will be strictly required to avail of the opportunities for engagement offered by the syllabus. Students who fail to attend the weekly tutorial meetings (at the minimum 1 hour), will be recorded as “Absent”. Students under part-time commitment and other UDC academic exemptions, will also have to meet the previous requirement. 8) Teaching, testing and assessment in respect of mobility programme students, will be adapted to meet any special circumstances or supervision needs these students may have. |
