Assessment comments

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).
A student is considered to be within the continuous evaluation and, therefore, the previous evaluation scheme will be applied to him, if he carried out more than 20% of the work and practical cases commissioned. Therefore, this student if he does not reach five, will be "suspended" in the minutes of the subject.

This evaluation system is maintained both for the first opportunity and for July.
The guides for carrying out the tutored work or any other practice or exercise proposed by the teacher will be posted on the Moodle platform, in good time.

Any information, notice to students, etc. will be hung 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 work is carried out throughout the course and it is not possible to carry it out outside the school period.
In the oral defenses of group work, all the components of the group responsible for its preparation will participate.

Part-time students must communicate this to the teachers. In these cases, teachers will assess the adaptation of the evaluation criteria.

Class attendance and follow-up of all scheduled activities in the subject is highly recommended.

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 either of the two works (the average mark of the students who obtain a lower mark 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.

For those students who meet the requirements for access to the advanced test, the evaluation criteria will be the same as those of the normal calendar. Those students must deliver the work entrusted by the teachers of the subject. They should contact the Subject Coordinator to assign the corresponding assignments.

It is recalled that access to any test with any device that allows communication with the outside and / or the storage of information is prohibited.
Likewise, it is recalled that any student caught doing exams, assignments or tests through any fraudulent procedure will be assigned a zero grade in the call.

IMPORTANT NOTE EXCHANGE STUDENTS / BILATERAL AGREEMENT / ERASMUS / ...

The deliveries of works will be established at the beginning of the course.

Other comments

It is an eminently practical subject. Its development involves the student's involvement in carrying out group work from the beginning of it. It is highly recommended, as learning, to attend the oral presentations of all groups. The teachers use to make comments, recommendations and teach in these sessions.
