Assessment comments
1. Requisites for a passing grade. To obtain a passing grade, students must get a minimum sum of 5 out of 10 total points. Also, they must answer correctly to 15 out of 20 questions in the Macroeconomics Minimum Knowledge Test. Not responding correctly to at least 15 questions implies a final note of "Fail" ("suspenso").

2. About the "not presented" condition. It corresponds to students who participate in assessment activities that have a weight of less than 20% over the final grade, regardless of the grade achieved.

3. About the condition of the final evaluation. It is not allowed to access the exam room with any device that permits the communication with people outside the room, or any storage device.

4. About the evaluation in the second opportunity and the early opportunity. Evaluation criteria established in this guide are of application to all opportunities. Concerning the second and the early opportunities, students may obtain the continuous evaluation points detailed here. Regarding short answer questions (2 points out of 10), they may be substituted by a unique test in a date agreed with the professor. Regarding projects (4 points out of 10), they may be replaced with alternative activities. The deadline for these activities must be agreed with the professor. For organisational reasons, people interested in recovering continuous evaluation points must contact the professor at the beginning of the course (for the early opportunity) or immediately after the publication of the first opportunity grades (for the second opportunity).

5. Part-time students and attendance waiver. The evaluation system established in point 4 for the early opportunity will also apply to students who have been officially accredited with a part-time or attendance waiver.

6. Students identification. Students must provide personal ID when requested, under current regulations
