Assessment comments

All students will have two chances for passing the course. To use the first chance, the students will need to participate in at least 70% of the activities. Also, the students will need to get at least 4,0 out of ten points in the written exam, the laboratory sessions (including the visu test) and the projects (case study and learning service) for these parts to be considered for the final grade. To pass the course, students will need an average grade of 5.0. In order to be qualified as "not present" the students should not participate in activities that account for more than 30% of the final qualification.

In the second chance students will need to improve their grades in the different parts (written exam, visu exam and projects) until they earn a 5.0. Parts graded with less than 4.0 will always have to be repeated. In this second chance, the visu exam will include 15 plants from the list.

Qualifications obtained in the different activities (projects, laboratory, etc) will NOT be kept from one year to the next.

Students with officially recognised academic exemption or who participate in equality and diversity support programs are welcome to participate in this subject. The teachers will adapt the different compulsory activities in order to enable these students to fulfill the aims of the course.
