Assessment comments

The exams and evaluation activities of the subject will only be carried out according to the planned dates, except for an exceptional cause, under the teacher's criterion. The dates for developing the mixed test and the long answer questions will be announced in class sufficiently in advance.

The mixed tests (assessment tests) are considered essential for the evaluation; for this reason, it is necessary to obtain at least a 40% of the total mark in each one of them, that is, a mark of 4 points, so as to compute with the remaining evaluation activities.

The first assessment exam will be considered as "passed" conditioned to obtaing a mark equal or higher than 4 points. If this first exam is "passed", in the final (official) exam it will only be necessary to do the second assessment exam.

The students who have not reached the minimum mark in the mixed tests (assessment tests) but with a mark higher than 5 points in the global count of the evaluation will not have passed the subject and their mark in the final act will be 4.5 points.

The subject will be passed when at least five points (or more) were obtained in the global count of the subject, conditioned to have reached the minimum mark in the assessment tests.

For the students who have "passed" one part of the subject by means of a mixed test (assessment test): this fact will only have validity for the current academic year. If a student with one part of the subject "passed" is not able to pass the whole subject in the opportunities of June or July, his/her final mark will be "failing" and he/she will have to re-take the whole subject in the folowing academic years.

Those students interested in raising their mark can take the final exam, with prior notification to the teacher and his/her consent.

Evaluation criteria for the second opportunity will be the same as the one applied in the first opportunity. If a student underwent the advanced announcement, the same criteria than in the second opportunity will be applied in order to pass this subject. In this case, it means a 70% for the exam and a 30% for the mark obtained in the continuous evaluation. 

With respect to the "Absent" mark and according to the regulation approved by the Faculty Board, the people that only take part
in evaluation activities whose total weight is lower than the 20% of the
final mark will get "Absent" as their final mark.    

Following the rules approved by the Faculty Board, it is forbidden to
enter the classroom where the evaluation activities are being held with
any device that allows for communicating with the outside and/or
information storage.
