Assessment comments |
1st Opportunity Evaluation.
In the development of the practical part (teamworks / projects) (mark of 40%), the following will be evaluated: application of the theoretical bases, quality of presentation, precision and clarity of presentation and quality of the answers, primary and secondary sources used and bibliographic review.
For the evaluation of the theoretical part, a multiple choice test (multiple object test) (mark of 50%) with several answer alternatives will be used, where errors will reduce the score to avoid the "lottery effect". The formula is NOTE = (correct answers x 1) - (errors / k-1), with k = number of answer options. Net points earned are transferred to a rating on a scale of 0 to 10.
Part-time dedication and academic exemption (attendance exemption): in the case of students with part-time dedication and academic exemption of attendance exemption, the Moodle and MS Teams platforms will be used, as well as email as the main communication vehicle . content management, tutorials and homework delivery. At the beginning of the course, a specific calendar of dates compatible with their dedication will be agreed, but they will have the same obligation to carry out activities and attend any type of evaluation test as full-time students. Except for the dates approved by the Faculty Council in which the objective test corresponds, for the rest of the tests a specific calendar of dates compatible with their dedication will be agreed at the beginning of the course.
The evaluation process for the 2nd opportunity is exactly the same as for the 1st opportunity: the practical grade (obtained in the works / projects) is saved and @alumn @ will take a new multiple choice exam, with identical characteristics to those described above.
In the event of an extraordinary call, the evaluation will only be with multiple choice tests (multiple choice test) (mark 100%) with several answer alternatives, where errors will subtract score based on the formula NET POINTS = (correct answers x 1) - (errors / k-1) with k = number of answer options. Net points earned are transferred to qualification on a scale of 0 to 10.
The student who, being enrolled, has not participated in the different evaluation activities (continuous/practical and/or exam/test) established for the academic year will be considered as “Not presented” (NP).
PLAGIARISM/COPY. The fraudulent performance of
the tests or evaluation activities will directly imply the qualification of
failure (0) in the matter in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any
qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary
call. |
