The exam questionnaires will initially be written in Spanish or English. Students who want a questionnaire in Galician, with the exception of the group that teaches English, must request it at least 15 days in advance. Conditions for conducting mixed tests: access to the exam room with any device that allows communication with the outside or the storage of information is prohibited. Lack of discipline will imply that the student must take the assessment tests orally. The practical cases must be delivered throughout the course, within the deadlines established by the teacher. Qualification of not presented. Corresponds to students when they only participate in assessment activities that weigh less than 20% of the final grade, regardless of the grade obtained. Guest lecture/keynote speech: Up to 2 marks for individual tasks Problem solving Up to 4 points can be added for the realization and oral or written presentation of individual or group practices. To this end, the questionnaires proposed by the teacher must be completed and sent within the established period. The questionnaires corresponding to the first part and the second part, respectively, will be evaluated with a maximum of two points each. Mixed tests The first test (exam) will evaluate the subjects from 1 to 3 and will be carried out immediately after completing those subjects. The maximum score will be 2 points. The second test corresponds to the final exam of the first opportunity, in which the entire subject will be evaluated. The maximum score will be 4 points. Students who have passed the first of the objective tests (a minimum of 1 point out of a maximum of 2 points) will not have to be examined for the subjects already approved. Therefore, if a stum ent has passed the first objective test, they will only have to take exams in subjects 4 to 7 in the final exam at the first opportunity. In the case of retesting of the first exam, students who have passed the first exam will receive the higher of the two grades obtained in the first exam and in the final exam. On the second opportunity, the marks corresponding to the master sessions and problem solving will be maintained, but not the marks obtained in the mixed tests. The second chance exam will get a maximum of 4 points. Students can ask for an oral exam to try to increase their grades Problem solving Up to 4 points can be added for the realization and oral or written presentation of individual or group practices. To this end, the questionnaires proposed by the teacher must be completed and sent within the established period. The questionnaires corresponding to the first part and the second part, respectively, will be evaluated with a maximum of two points each. Exams, oral presentations and other tests subject to evaluation can be face-to-face or online. Advance Assessment In the event that the student has the opportunity to perform an "advance assessment" and only in this case, there will be a mixed oral and / or written test intended to assess all the skills and content of the subject. |
