Assessment comments

In order to be entitled to continuous assessment, a minimum of 80% of attendance to face-to-face classes will be required. The final grade of the Continuous Assessment will be 80% of the Mixed Exam and 20% of the Tutored Work. The mark for the Mixed Examination will be the average of the Mixed Examinations throughout the course. In order to be able to take the average of these mixed exams, it is necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 out of 10 in each one.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance (as established in the "Norma que Regula el Régimen de Dedicación al Estudio de los Estudiantes de Grado en la UDC") will be able to take the Continuous Assessment without the need to attend 80% of the face-to-face classes. In order to do so, these students must duly inform the lecturers at the beginning of the course of their academic dispensation, as well as of their availability to attend classes. Apart from the Autonomous Work included in this Teaching Guide, teachers may ask these students to carry out different projects/problems throughout the course to be presented or solved during tutorial hours. 

Students who do not follow the on-site course (attendance less than 80%), or who have not passed the Continuous Assessment, may sit the final exams in January and July. The assessment of these exams will consist of a Mixed Examination which may include essay-type questions, open questions, multiple-choice, multiple-choice, ordering, short-answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions. The contents of these mixed tests may cover any content of the subject.

In the mixed test corresponding to the January call, the marks obtained in the partial tests will be maintained, and the student may present himself only to those not passed. The Mixed Test of the June call will mean 100% of the grade, so the entire subject will be evaluated.

Ethical behaviour is expected throughout the course. The use of equipment or materials not allowed in the exams, copying answers by any unauthorised means or plagiarism will lead to a mark of 0 in the final assessment of the subject. 

Ignorance of some basic concepts may lead to elimination. These will be mentioned during the course.
