Assessment comments |
A minimum of assistence to keynote speechs (75%) is mandatory to be evaluated. If he/she do not assist that percentage will be evaluated as "Not Presented".The final qualification will be the average of that obtained in each of the three parts of the subject. First Oportunity
- All activities, works and/or written test will be evaluated. Student must pass each of the three parts with 5/10 to be qualificated. Second Oportunity - Students must do all not passed activities/works and/or written test. - If the student do not assist the minimum written above, they must do, individually, all activities proposed of the subject. Students with partial dedication of assistance exencion.
- They must inform the teacher the first week of the saubject. - First oportunity, They must do, individually, all activities proposed and the written tests. - Second oportunity, they must repeat the not passed activities.
The fraudulent realization of the different test or activities for evaluation will imply the qualification of 0 in the corresponding call.
