Assessment comments

It is an essential requirement to present the supervised project to pass the exam. If the student gets good grades in the project, this mark will be kept for the next exam so that the student does not neeed to write a new project. If the student fails the project, it will be necessary to write a new one.

There is no difference in assessment of first and second opportunity.

To pass, students must get a minimum of a 5/10 in the project and a 4/10 in the exam.

Note for Spanish students with "dispensa académica de exención de asistencia":

De manera específica, las medidas de dedicación para el “Alumnado con recoñecemento de dedicación a tempo parcial e dispensa académica de exención de asistencia” son las que siguen: -Los/as alumnos/as deben ponerse de acurdo con la profesora para fijar varias tutorías con el fin de seguir la materia con efectividad. -Deben asistir a clase el mínimo de horas fijadas en el reglamento. -Deben realizar tanto el examen como las prácticas, las lecturas y el trabajo. -Las fechas de entregas oficiales fijadas para los/as alumnos/as que asisten a clase no aplican para estos/as alumnos/as quienes entregarán todo lo que haya que entregar como muy tarde 15 días antes del examen oficial.
