Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Multiple-choice questions A4 B2 Two multiple choice tests without previous notice. 10
Oral presentation A9 A10 A13 B2 B3 B4 Students are asked to present a case in the classroom. In marking this oral presentation the teacher will take into account how students have solved the case, the presentation in the classroom, and the answer to the questions formulated by the teacher and/or other students. 20
Practical test: A9 A12 B2 B3 C3 At the beginning of each of the sessions dedicated to discuss the exercises and cases (class or group tutorial), the teacher might ask students to solve a mini-written exercise, similar to those designed to be solved out of the classroom. This mini-exercise must be solved individually and in the time slot set by the teacher. By the end of the term the teacher will randomly select six of these written exercises to be marked. 40
Objective test A4 B2 Final exam aimed at conducting a global assessment of the course to be held on the date established by the FEE. 30
 
Assessment comments

The proposed methodology seeks
two main objectives: i) to create incentives for the student to work on a
continuous basis along the term, and ii) to promote self-study strategies. With
this aim, the student is asked to:

a) On a weekly basis, solve the exercises and cases proposed by the teacher. Team work is highly recommended to discuss the
possible solutions. 

b) Prepare a case to be presented in the classroom. Students are asked to work in group and following the guidelines provided by the teacher, who will also set the date of presentation. 

c) Attend to the academic events of interest for the course organised by the FEE.

d) Actively participate in the discussions held in the classroom and/or the virtual forum.
Both the strength of the arguments used and the ability to defend them in front
of the rest of the students are graded. 

Active participation in class and/or the virtual forum, joined to attendance to academic events (assessed via a short test) will allow students to get up to one extra point
to be added to the mark obtained in the written tests held during the course, with the maximum of five points. In the event a student, for whatever reason, cannot take one of the written continuous assessment tests (multiple choice test or practical tests), s/he will be graded zero in that test, but this grade can be substituted with the grade obtained by means of active participation in class and academic events. That is to say, out of the six elements taken into account (one multiple choice test, four practical tests and participation) the best five will be selected. 

Substitute test of continuous evaluation activities

Part-time students who are unable to attend classes, students who due to COVID are unable to participate in some continuous assessment activities, and those who at the second opportunity do not wish to retain the continuous assessment mark obtained at the first opportunity, will be able to take a substitute test for the continuous assessment activities. This test will be totally or partially oral, will deal with any theoretical or practical aspect studied during the course and will represent 70% of the final grade.

EVALUATION REGULATION

a) Conditions for the final exam. Access to the exam classroom with any device that allows communication with the outside and/or storage is prohibited.

b) Student Identification. The student must prove her/his identity in accordance with current regulations.

c) Absent qualification. This qualification will be assigned, exclusively, to those students that had participated in evaluation activities with a weighting lower than 20% of the final qualification, independently of the mark obtained in these activities. 

EVALUATION  OPPORTUNITIES

a) First opportunity: 70% continuous evaluation (as described in Section 7 of this guide) and 30% final exam.

b) Second opportunity: 70% continuous evaluation and 30% final exam. As for the continuous evaluation, the student can opt for keeping the mark obtained during the term or take the substitute test of continuous evaluation activities described above.

c) Early opportunity ("Oportunidade adiantada"): A single test will be carried out, totally or partially oral, aimed at evaluating all the contents and competences of the subject. The grade obtained in this test will represent 100% of the final mark. 

Exams and tests in Moodle

In the event that tests or final exams are conducted in Moodle, an "audit" will be carried out by means of an oral test intended to gather evidence that the student has taken the exam without assistance. If this evidence is not obtained, the grade will be zero.
