Assessment comments

In order to pass the course, students must attend at least 80% of the face-to-face lessons.

All the assessment items are mandatory in order to pass the subject. The final mark will be the addition of the marks of each item.

Those students who do not attent at least 80% of the face-to-face lessons or do not pass the course in the ordinary opportunity will be evaluated following the same criteria as part time and "dispensa académica" students in the July opportunity.

Assessment criteria concerning part-time and "dispensa académica" students

Part-time and "dispensa académica" students must contact the course coordinator before the start of the course to set the dates for the oral presentation and individual work.

- Oral presentation: 30%

- Individual work: 30%

- Exam on the official date: 40%

All the assessment items are mandatory in order to pass the subject. The
final mark will be the addition of the marks of each item.

The July opportunity will follow the same assessment criteria.

Important: Plagiarism or
any other form of academic dishonesty will result in a mark of '0' in
the course in the corresponding opportunity, invalidating any mark
obtained during all assessment activities for the 'extraordinaria'
opportunity.

Other comments

Oral presentations, activities, tasks and the portfolio done throughout the module may need individual support during office hours.

Resources must be used sustainably in order to avoid negative effects on the environment. Therefore, it is recommended to send activities, projects and task online. Otherwise, it is preferable that plastic is not used, double-page printing, recycled paper and avoid printing drafts.

It is crucial to remember the ethical principles regarding sustainability values in professional and personal behaviour.
