The notes of the subject taken by the students in the expository classes will be evaluated. The effort made to complete the information will be taken into account through searches carried out by the students through the available sources: bibliography, webgraphy, commercial information, etc. The notes will be written in manuscript and the inclusion of the drawings and sketches made by the teachers in the lectures will be especially appreciated. |

Assessment comments |
In order to be evaluated globally of the course in any of the two opportunities it will be necessary: 1. To have attended at least 80% of the Master Sessions, except for documented force majeure. 2. To present all the practices carried out in the Workshop. 3. Submit the complete Portfolio. 4. Submit the notes taken in the Master Sessions. 5. To take the objective test. In the case that the student does not present any of the scoring items of the subject on the day of the exam, it will appear as 'Not presented' in the minutes of the corresponding opportunity. In the event that the student does not achieve a grade equal to or higher than 4 points out of 10 in any of the items of the subject, the student will appear as 'Failed' in the report of the corresponding opportunity, even if the general average is higher than 5 points out of 10. The numerical score will be the lowest among all items. In the second opportunity, only those items in which a grade of 4 points out of 10 has not been reached will be required. The student who repeats the course will not have to retake the exercises in which he/she obtained a grade equal to or higher than 8 points out of 10 in the last academic year. No dedication measures are contemplated for part-time students, due to the fact that this is a subject in which the workshop is a fundamental methodology. No academic dispensation is contemplated, since it is a subject in which the workshop is a fundamental methodology. The detection of plagiarism, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of 'Fail 0' in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities for the second opportunity.
