Assessment comments

FIRST OPPORTUNITY:

Students that do not take the written exam will obtain a grade of "Non presentado" (Absent).

SECOND OPPORTUNITY:

Only those students that have not passed the course in the first opportunity can be evaluated in the second opportunity. Students can recover any of the parts as follows:

  • ICT practicals (50%): the students can repeat the ICT practicals under the same circumpstances than in the first opportunity (those submitted out of time can obtain a maximum of 80% of the grade). Thus, in case of repeating all the assignments, the maximum grade will be 4 points.
  • Written test (40%): in the same conditions as in the first opportunity.
  • The grade obtained from the continuous and objective monitoring of the active participation during the lectures cannot be recovered.
  • In case of not retaking one of the parts, the grade obtained in the first opportunity for that part will be kept.
  • To pass the course globally it is necessary to obtain in the mixed test a minimum grade of 1.5 (over 4).
  • Students that do not retake any part will obtain a grade of "Non presentado" (Absent).

ADVANCED OPPORTUNITY:

The assessment for the advanced opportunity will be: 50% ICT practicals, 50% written text.

ACADEMIC DISPENSATION:

Students officially enrolled part-time who have been granted an official dispensation from attending classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, must contact with the responsible of the course within the first two weeks to establish the conditions for submitting and defending the practical exercises and the supervised project.

ACADEMIC FRAUD:

The fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of failure in the call in which it is committed: the student will be graded with "suspenso" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the fault occurs in the first opportunity or in the second. For this, the student's grade will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary.
