Assessment comments |
A) EVALUATION REGULATIONS: 1. Assessment conditions: It is forbidden to access the exam / test / work room with any device that allows communication with the outside world and / or information storage. It is recalled that any student caught taking exams, assignments or tests through any fraudulent procedure will be assigned a grade of zero in the call. 2. Identification of the student: The student must prove her identity in accordance with current regulations. 1. Qualification of not presented: Corresponds to the student, when he only participates in evaluation activities that have a weighting of less than 20% on the final qualification, regardless of the qualification achieved. 2. Part-time students should communicate with teachers. In these cases, teachers will assess the adaptation of the evaluation criteria. C) EVALUATION OPPORTUNITIES: the evaluation criteria indicated in this section will be applied. To pass this subject, students must carry out two group assignments during the semester and present them in class and a Mixed Test that may be exempted from doing it in case of passing the supervised assignments with an average grade higher than 5.6 out of 10.
The first work will have a weighting of 35% on the final grade.
The second work will have a weighting of 35% on the final grade.
The Mixed Test will have a weighting of 30% on the final grade.
Students who achieve an average grade in the supervised works plus the first part of the mixed test higher than 5.6 out of 10 may be exempted from taking the test.
The supervised group assignments are carried out throughout the course and it is not possible to carry them out outside the school period.
All the members of the group must participate in the oral defenses of the group work.
For the calculation of the final average mark it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 points out of 10 points in any of the two works (the average mark of the students who obtain a mark lower than this will not be calculated). To pass the subject, the final weighted average grade must be equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 points. The evaluation criteria are the same for all evaluation opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the second opportunity, the following criteria are met in order to achieve full equality between both opportunities:In case of having passed one of the jobs, the grade obtained in it will be saved and only the one that has not been passed will have to be repeated. The following options are sought: • Students who have not reached the minimum mark in work 1: they must carry out the same work that was assigned to them at the beginning of the course. • Students who have not reached the minimum grade in work 2: they must contact the teacher of the subject to assign them a new organization on which to carry out the work (work 2 cannot be carried out on it organization chosen at the first opportunity). In the event that the organization has not yet been chosen, the chosen organization must be informed to the teacher.
The deadline for the delivery of the works will be four days before the date established in the official calendar of examinations of the second opportunity.
The presentation and defense of the works will be done on the official date of the second chance exam. Delivery method: via email to the teacher of the subject. For those students who meet the requirements for access to the early test, the evaluation criteria will be the same as the normal calendar. Must deliver the work entrusted by the teachers of the subject. They should contact the Coordinator of the Subject to be assigned the corresponding work. D) OTHER EVALUATION REMARKS The students will know the grades of the works before the date set by the faculty for the exams (June or July). The evaluation and qualification criteria are exactly the same on both occasions (June and July). It is considered that a student is within the continuous evaluation and, therefore, the previous evaluation scheme will be applied, if she did more than 20% of the assignments and practical cases commissioned. Therefore, if this student does not reach five, he will be "suspended" in the minutes of the matter. This evaluation system is maintained both for the first opportunity and for July. The guides for carrying out the supervised work or any other practice or exercise proposed by the teacher will be posted on the Moodle platform, sufficiently in advance. Any information, notice to students, etc. will hang on this platform. An email will be sent notifying you. It is the student's responsibility to consult the e-mail address assigned by the UDC. The supervised group assignments are carried out throughout the course and it is not possible to carry them out outside the school period. All the members of the group responsible for their preparation will participate in the oral defenses of the group work. For the calculation of the final average mark, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 points out of 10 points in any of the two works (the average mark of the students who obtained a mark lower than this will not be calculated). To pass the subject, the final weighted average grade must be equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10. 1. The delivery of the documentary works carried out in this subject: A. It will be requested in virtual format and / or computer support B. It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them
2. The importance of ethical principles related to sustainability values in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account. 3. Work will be done to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes and the environment will be influenced to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. 4. The full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, psychological or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties to an adequate, equal and profitable access to university life will be facilitated.
IMPORTANT NOTE EXCHANGE STUDENTS / BILATERAL AGREEMENT / ERASMUS / ... The deliveries of work will be established at the very beginning of the course.

Other comments |
It is an eminently practical subject. Its development supposes an implication of the student in the accomplishment of the group works from the very beginning. It is MANDATORY, as an apprenticeship, to always attend class and the oral presentations of all groups. Professors make comments, recommendations and teach in these sessions. |
