Assessment criteria

Second opportunity

In
order to pass this course, both in the first and the second
opportunity, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 4 points
out of 10 in the mixed objective/subjective test, the ICT practicals,
and the supervised project. If this requirement is not met, the final
qualification will be "Fail", even when the average of all the
activities that are part of the assessment will give a grade equal to or
greater than 5 points out of 10.

In methodologies where a distinction is made between midterm and final
practical/exams, if a student passes the first-term practical/exam but
fails (with a grade below 4 out of 10) the second-term practical/exam,
they will only need to retake the second-term practical/exam in the second
opportunity, and the grade from the first-term practical/exam will be
retained.

If a student who has released
or passed a part of the course (e.g., mid-term exam) does not manage to
pass the course as a whole on the official dates of the exams of the
first and second opportunity, his/her final grade will be "Fail". In the
following academic year, these students might keep the grade of those
tests that they have passed (as long as the grade obtained was equal to
or greater than 5 points out of 10), if they wish, and as long as they
inform the instructors of the course of their decision in the first two
weeks of classes. This condition will only apply in the following
academic year; from there onwards, the grades will not be kept.

Early December call

If
there are students who want to take the early December call (Art. 19
"Standards for evaluation, review and claim of qualifications for
undergraduate and master's degree studies"), given that this course is
annual, those students will only have to take the mixed
objective/subjective test (40% of the grade), the ICT practicas (40% of
the grade) and the supervised project (20% of the grade). The supervised
project must be done individually.

In order to pass the course, a
final grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 must be
obtained, as long as the students have obtained a score equal to or
greater than 4 points out of 10 in each of the methodologies subjected
to assessment.

No grade

The
students who do not attend the final exam that will take place on the
date established in the faculty's official exam calendar will be graded
as "No presentado" (i.e., no grade). This criterion will apply both in
the first and in the second assessment opportunity, as well as in the
early December call.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption waiver

The
students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic
exemption waiver must inform the instructors of the course at the
beginning of the academic year, in order to establish a plan and
calendar of activities. The assessment system will be the following
one: mixed objective/subjective test (40%), ICT practicals (40%) and supervised projects (20%). The supervised project
must be done in group.

Additional information

According to Article 11, section 4 b) of the "Reglamento disciplinar del estudiantado de la UDC", engaging in fraudulent behavior in any of the methodologies subject to assessment sections will result in a grade of "Fail (0)" for the final evaluation, both in the first and second opportunity, regardless of the opportunity in which the offense was committed.

It is forbidden to access the examination room with any device allowing for data transmission and/or warehousing (e.g., mobile phones, smart watches...) when any of the assessment test is taking place.
