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.
  • Supervised project (20%): the defense of the project will be done using a written test.
  • Written test (30%): in the same conditions as in the first opportunity.
  • 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 3).
  • Students that do not retake any part will obtain a grade of "Non presentado" (Absent).

ADVANCED OPPORTUNITY:

The assessment for the advanced opportunity will consist of a written exam that will compute for the 100% of the grade, and will include all the knowledge and skills acquired during lectures, practice sessions and supervised project.
