The student is considered within the general ongoing assessment if he/she presents over 20% of total practice. The same evaluation system will be applied in the first opportunity and in July. In order to pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a mínimum of 5 points over 10 (as the total grade) AND in the exam (in order to calculate that average grade) it is necessary to obtain a mínimum of 4 points over 10.
Case studies, document analysis and the supervised projects are done over the whole duration of the course and it is not possible to elaborate them out of the lecturing period because they are developed in the classroom. Both part time and full time students are subject to the same evaluation system.
Of course, accusing the exam with devices that allow communication with the outside or that stock information is not allowed. If a student is found cheating in the exam, the final grade will be cero both in the first opportunity and in July
If the situation allows for normal in-classroom lectures and activities, the grading system will be the one described above (Scenario 1: 20% case studies and participation, 20% documentary sources, 20% final essay and 40% exam). All activities will take place in the classroom (or, if the Faculty designs a partially online system in which students sometimes have presence-based activities and others have remote/online activities, if it is possible to have an in-house exam in the physical classroom.
Contingency plan:
If this face to face exam cannot be celebrated in a presence-based modality and a remote/online environment is in force, then the grading system will be changed to the following (Scenario 2)
1. Case studies and participation of classroom activities: 25%of the total grade.
2. Documentary sources (theoretical concept): 25%of the total grade
2. Final essay: 50%of the total grade. Half of these points will grade the written submission (identical for all the members of the group) and the other half will take into account the individual presentation and answers to the questions during the presentations of each member.
In this case (scenario 2), all methodologies will be transferred to a remote environment in which students should submit activities through Teams and Moodle. Lectures will take place through Teams at the usual class schedule.
This structure of evaluation (both evaluations systems depending on the real situation at that moment) will be in force for both the first and the second opportunity and for both part time and full time students.
Notes: For the second opportunity (in July), the student that has not passed the course in the first opportunity must take the re-sit exam and can review/perform, improve and submit the other three components previously described. In the case of remote/online classes only, the grading system will be that exhibited under “Scenario 2”; the student will hand in through Teams/Moodle all the three components of the evaluation, submitting a video for the final essay (at least a week before the date of the official exam) and answer the questions the lecturer formulates (for this, the student must contact the lecturer to establish the timing of his/her presentation in Teams)
