Assessment comments

1.- Evaluation of the second opportunity and the advanced
opportunity:

  a) Second
opportunity: according to article 18, section 5, of the Standards for
Assessment, Review and Claims of Qualifications, the second opportunity must
guarantee the possibility of passing the subject by the student, so it is
necessary to modify the qualification percentages regarding the first
opportunity. Therefore the solution of problems, would suppose 30% of the
qualification, and the objective test 70%. In the second opportunity, the
grades obtained in the continuous evaluation (with a weighting of 30%) will be
kept, the one achieved in the objective test.

 b) Advanced
Opportunity: The conditions for evaluating the advanced opportunity (art. 19 of
the Standards for Assessment, Review and Claims of Qualifications) will be
specific for this opportunity. This will be evaluated through a test that will
represent 100% of the final grade.

 

2.- Minimum requirements in the evaluation criteria:  No minimum grade is required in the continuous
assessment evaluation. For the objective test it is necessary to obtain 50% of
the grade to be able to pass the subject. This requirement applies to both the
first and second opportunities. In the whole of the two parts, the student must
obtain a minimum score of 5 points to pass the subject, but as long as the
objective test reaches a minimum of 50% of the test score. 

3.- Conditions for carrying out the final
evaluation.  It is prohibited to access
the exam room with any device that allows communication with the outside and /
or storage of information. 

4.- The grade of not presented corresponds when the
student only participates in the evaluation activities that have a weight lower
than 20% of the final grade, regardless of the grade achieved.
