- The final grade in the practical part will not be less han 3 points out of 6 so that the student can be assessed in the Mixed objective/subjective test.
- Students who do not achieve the minimum grade of 3 points in this part will not pass the subject in the first opportunity. Students cand attend the Mixed objective/subjective test but it will not be valid for assessment purposes as they have failed the practical part of the subject. In addition to this, the grade obtained in this case would not be kept for the 2nd opportunity).
MIXED OBJECTIVE/SUBJECTIVE TEST (40%: maximum 4 points,minimum to pass this part 2 points).
- In-person written exam (Mixed objective/subjective test) about the contents of the subject.
- The student must achieve at least 2 points in the mixed objective/subjective test (maximum score for this part 4 points) to add the grade obtained in the mixed objective/subjective test and calculate the final grade of the subject.
- When the minimum grade of 3 out 6 is not achieved in the practical part, the grade obtained will not be considered for evaluation purposes even if the student has taken the mixed objective/subjective test.
- An active participation in class activities to get the maximum advantages out of the lessons is mandatory.
2. Scoring criteria and due dates for supervised projects and case studies
- The scoring criteria for both supervised projects and case studies with the corresponding oral presentation of the ones indicated by the teacher will be announced at the time the instructions are posted on Moodle.

GENDER
PERSPECTIVE
In accordance with
the various regulations governing university teaching, it is necessary to
incorporate a gender perspective into this subject. This includes, among other
measures, the use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive
from a gender perspective, and encouraging participation from all students in
class, regardless of their gender.
We will pay

attitudes. We will actively work towards the modification of this environment
and the promotion of values of respect and equality.
Our efforts will
focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and implementing appropriate
actions to rectify such cases.
