Assessment comments

Assessment criteria

Second opportunity



The assessment criteria for the first and
the second opportunity are the same. The student has a chance to resit the
mixed objective/subjective test and the practical test. If the score in any of
the two tests in the first opportunity was higher than 4.0, the student does
not need to resit that test and its score can be kept for the second
opportunity.

Early call



If there were students who wanted to take
the early December call (Art. 19 "Standards for evaluation, review and
claim of qualifications for undergraduate and master's degree studies"),
those students will only have to take the mixed objective/subjective test (35%
of the grade), the practical test (35% of the grade) and the supervised project
(30% of the grade). The supervised project must be done individually.



As strict requirement to pass the course,
it will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 3.5 points out of 10 in the
mixed objective/subjective test and in the practical test. If this requirement
is not met, the grade will be “Fail” regardless of the average score.

'No Presentado' grade



The grade of "No presentado" (no
grade) will be given to those students who will not attend the final exam both
in the first, second opportunity of assessment as well as in the early call.

Students with recognition of part-time
dedication and academic exemption waiver



The students with recognition of part-time
dedication and academic exemption waiver must inform the instructor of the
course at the beginning of the course, to establish a plan and calendar of
activities. The assessment system will be the following one: mixed
objective/subjective test (35%), practical test (35%) and supervised project
(30%). The student must form a team with other
students to develop the supervised project.

Minimum grade



As strict requirement to pass the course,
both in the first and second opportunity of assessment, it will be necessary to
obtain a minimum score of 3.5 points out of 10 in the mixed
objective/subjective test and in the practical test. If this requirement is not
met, the grade will be “Fail” regardless of the average score.

Students must attend at least to 80% of the classes. If this requirement is not met and the average score is 5.0 or higher, the grade will be 4.5 “Fail”.

Additional information



Fraudulent behaviour in any of the parts
subject to assessment will result in the grade of "Fail (0)" in the
final assessment.



It is forbidden to access the examination
room with any device allowing for data transmission and/or warehousing when any
of the evaluations is taking place (mobile phones, smartwatches...).
