Assessment comments

ASSESSMENT REGULATION:

1. Unless something different is formally mentioned by the professors of the course, it is completely forbidden to attend the assessment activities with any device that allows the student either to communicate with people outside the room, or to store pieces of information. During the exams the mobiles must be switched off at all times.

2. Every student must prove her/his identity in accordance with the current regulation.

ASSESSMENT:

1. Attendance is compulsory for all the assessment activities of the course. 

2. In order to pass the subject any student must obtain a Final Mark (FM) of, at least, 5 points out of a maximum of 10.

3. The Final Exams (FE) will be graded over 10 points, being compulsory to get, at least, 5 points to pass the subject. The Final Mark will be given by the formula FM=CA+FE(10-CA)/10, where CA stands for the different Continuous Assessment activities that will take place during the course. This activities weight 30% of the Final Mark, and hence they will be graded over 3 points.

4. Any student who does not take part in at least 20% of the Continuous Assessment activities will get the "No Presentado" final mark.

5. The part time students and to those who have the "dispensa académica de exención de asistencia" according to the UDC’s regulation will have the chance to complete the continuous assessment, after adapting these activities to their specific situation.

ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES:

The same assessment criterion will be applied to the two official opportunities, an to the "early opportunity" as well.

OTHER EVALUATION OBSERVATIONS:

Detection of fraud: whether plagiarism or any other action, will result in a final grade of 0 points. Fail grade in the call in which the offense is committed and with respect to the subject in which it was committed: the student will be qualified with “fail” (in Spanish, “suspenso") (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the offense occurs on the first opportunity or on the second. To do this, the grade will be modified in the first opportunity record, if necessary.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Students are encouraged to attend the lectures and to show an important level of participation. We strongly recommend the use of the textbooks listed in the "sources of information" section. Additionally, students must try to solve the problem sets when they are published.
