| Assessment comments | |||
|
During the development of the practical part, it will be evaluated: Adaptation of content/theoretical foundations Organization and formal structure Scope of conclusions/Bibliographic review Organization of presentations and capacity for synthesis. Quality of answers in the presentation. Evaluation of observations 1. In the case of that student who does not appear in any of the parts to be evaluated, the grade that will be recorded in the report will be the average of the corresponding weights. 2. Grade not presented: It corresponds to the student, when he only participates in assessment activities that have a weight of less than 20% on the final grade, regardless of the qualification achieved. 3. Second chance and early call: The evaluation criteria are the same for all evaluation opportunities. In addition, if the student does not do the group work or suspends it in the first opportunity or in the early call, in the second opportunity he can choose to do group or individual work. The characteristics of the work will be the same as in the first opportunity or in the early call. 4. Students with recognition of partial dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption: Except for the dates approved by the Faculty Board for the final objective test, for the rest of the tests a specific calendar of dates compatible with your dedication will be agreed at the beginning of the course . 5. The fraudulent performance of tests or assessment activities, once proven, will directly involve the grade of '0' suspended in the subject in the corresponding call, any qualification obtained in all the assessment activities of the extraordinary call being void. 6. In any case and for all purposes, the aspects related to "academic exemption", "dedication to study", "permanence" and "academic fraud" will be governed according to the current academic regulations of the UDC, https://www. udc.es/es/normative/academic/ |
