Description
Personalized attention consists of face-to-face hours of the students with the professor which involve student participation. More precisely, the most important ones are: personalized tutorial and assessment (written exams, practical tests by using the computer and presentation of academic assignments).

Personalized attention for students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance will be stablished at the beginning of the course by the lecturers by taking into account the specific characteristics of students.

Assessment comments



Students will be assessed through
“continuous assessment” consisting of two parts or “stages”.


FIRST
STAGE:

Several
exams will be done by students throughout the course.  

Active attendance in the class will be taken
into account for assessment (1 point at most).

In this stage, students could pass the
subject by passing the established exams.  

SECOND STAGE:

Students failing the subject in the “first
stage”, will be able to pass the subject by doing a final exam consisting of
theoretical and practical questions.   

The final mark will be the sum of 80% of the
final exam and 20% of the continuous assessment.

Students participating in some of the
scheduled assignments throughout the course will be assessed at
the end of the course. They will not be marked as not-presented.

SECOND OPORTUNITY: In this oportunity (July)
the same criteria as those of the second part will be considered.

Students with recognition of part-time
dedication and academic exemption from attendance will be graded under the same
conditions than other students, as explained above.



In special cases, such as,
SICUE or Erasmus students, specific exams could be established.
