Assessment comments |
There are two types of evaluation: continuous
and global. If a student wishes to opt for the global assessment method, they must communicate this decision to the teacher within the first month of the course. It is understood that all students who do not so inform the lecturer opt for continuous assessment, which is considered the default method. The type of evaluation cannot be changed during the semester.
TYPE OF CONTINUOUS EVALUATION (First OPPORTUNITY):
During the semester, the students will have to do two multiple-choice tests, to assist and participate to the seminars and hand in a case study. These activities will
represent maximum six points of the final grade. Students must be present in at
least 80% of the seminars. At the end of the semester, a final exam of the Course will take place, which represents maximum
four points of the final grade. It is necessary to get at least two points for
the final exam in order to pass the exam as well as for adding the points got for the
multiple-choice tests, and assistance and participation in the seminars.
TYPE OF GLOBAL EVALUATION (First OPPORTUNITY):
The evaluation of the students that do not follow the type of continuous
evaluation will consist of two parts, each of which must be passed in order to pass the course: (1) a written exam made up by essay style questions, which will represent 60% of the final grade of the
Course; and (2) a practical exam, which will represent 40% of the final
grade of the Course.
Regarding the second opportunity of exam, the system of
evaluation will be similar to the one of the first opportunity.
For students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic
dispensation of exemption from attendance, the evaluation will consist of a
final exam on contents of the Course, whose maximum grade will be 10 points out
of 10.
Any attempt of fraud or plagiarism in any activities that will be
developed during the semester or during the final exam will be penalized with a
“0” as the final grade of the Course in both opportunities of the exam.
