Assessment comments |
Evaluation observations:1) No-show grade: Corresponds to the student, when he/she only participates in evaluation activities that have a weight of less than 20% of the final grade, regardless of the grade obtained. 2) Second opportunity and early opportunity (or early call): - Second opportunity: the conditions of evaluation of the second opportunity (article 18, section 5, of the Rules of Evaluation, Review and Claim of Degrees of Degree and Master's Studies) establish that the second opportunity must guarantee the possibility of passing the subject by the student, so the grading percentages are modified with respect to the first opportunity. Likewise, the second opportunity activity will consist of a single final exam that will account for 100% of the final grade and will be held on the date of the official calendar. Alternatively, in the second opportunity, the student may retain the grades obtained in the continuous evaluation of the first opportunity (with a weighting of 30% in the final grade) and, in this case, the final exam of the second opportunity will represent the remaining 70%.
- Early opportunity: The evaluation conditions of the early opportunity (article 19 of the Rules for Evaluation, Review and Appeal of Bachelor's and Master's Degrees) will be specific for this opportunity. It will be evaluated by means of an objective test that will account for 100% of the final grade.
3) Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance: In the first and second opportunity, the evaluation criteria will be governed by the completion of an objective test with a weight of 100% of the final grade. It will consist of an objective test that will include theoretical and practical questions in which students must demonstrate that they have achieved the competencies and learning outcomes of the subject. 4) About the final evaluation conditions: It is forbidden to access the exam room with any device that allows communication with the outside and/or storage of information. 5) Identification of the student: The student must prove his personality in accordance with current regulations.
6) In the case of plagiarism or copying in the performance of any test, the student will be automatically excluded from the same, and all the marks obtained in that exam or opportunity will be eliminated. Therefore, if the student has any marks in the practical test or case study, these will be annulled. Other evaluation observations on minimum evaluation criteria.A) No minimum grade is required in the continuous evaluation part. B) For the mixed test, it is necessary to obtain 50% of the possible grade in order to pass the subject. This requirement applies both for the 1st and 2nd opportunity. C) In general, the student must obtain a minimum score of 5 points in order to pass the subject, provided that in the objective test he/she obtains a minimum of 50% of the grade of the test. D) Classes are face-to-face and, therefore, class attendance is compulsory.

Other comments |
It is recommended to follow regularly the indications and news of the MOODLE platform, since this platform, together with the face-to-face classes; It constitutes an essential communication system between the teaching team and the students. Additionally, the next general observations and recommendations are made: 1. The delivery of the outstanding works for this subject will never be printed, and instead of, they should be delivered:
a. by means of virtual/online procedure
b. through the Moodle platform
2. The ethic principles and values of personal and professional sustainable behaviour should be assumed. 3. Everyone should try to identify and modify sexist pre-judgements trying to avoid them and boosting equalitarian behaviours. 4. The full inclusion of disabled students should be facilitated and promoted. Regardless of the physical, psychologic, sensorial or socio-cultural reasons, discrimination must be avoided for all the university community and helping to achieve equalitarian university environments.
Reminder of the application of equality regulations:
- According to the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated in this subject (non-sexist language will be used, the intervention of male and female students in class will be encouraged...).
- Work will be done to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes and students will be influenced to modify them and promote values of respect and equality.
- Situations of gender discrimination will be detected and actions and measures will be proposed to correct them.
