Assessment comments

A) EVALUATION
NORMS

Conditions of final evaluation : Accusing the continuous activities
exercises/exam with devices that allow communication with the outside or that
stock information is not allowed. If a student is surprised by developing the
continuous activities exercises/exam by means of any fraudulent procedure, the
grade of such a continuous activity/exam will be cero in all opportunities.

Student identification : Student has to accredit his/her
identity in accordance with the current regulation.


B) TYPES OF GRADING

Non-presented grading : when the student participated in
less than 20% of the continuous assessment activities, regardless the obtained
grade.

Part time students : Both part time and full time
students are subject to the same evaluation system.

 

C) SECOND AND ADVANCED EVALUATION OPPORTUNITIES

Second and advanced opportunity : In the second opportunity,
students who failed in the first opportunity, will be able to develop
continuous assessment activities, in addition to the exam. For it, they will
put in contact with his/her lecturer far enough in advance in order to plan the
development of these activities.
In the advanced opportunity, the
evaluation criterion of the first opportunity is maintained.

D) OTHER
EVALUATION NORMS :
The lecturers will make available the
norms for the development of the proposed works in this teaching guide to
students.

To pass the subject, the final weighted
average grade must be equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10, but is an
essential requirement to obtain 4 points out of 10 in the objective test. If
this minimum is not reached in such as test, the subject will be suspended.

It is considered that a student is within
the continuous evaluation and, therefore, the previous evaluation scheme will
be applied to him/her, if he/she completed more than 20% of the works of the
subject. If such as student does not appear for the objective test, he/she will
be a grade of cero.
