Assessment comments
The student, whose presence along the quarter is insufficient to perform the monitoring and the assessment of their work, by academic waiver or other causes, will also have to develop and submit it for their evaluation. Support and monitoring of such work shall be carried out in tutoring sessions. The assessment is done through the presentation of supervised work and/or the objective test. In this case, the evaluation process can include a session practical, individually or in group, in which the student addresses manually or with the computer the problems posed by the teacher. For the second chance you can present the supervised work and/or improve the already accomplished. Support and monitoring is done in tutorial sessions. The assessment is done through the presentation of supervised work pending and/or improved and/or the objective test. The process of evaluation may include, in addition to the above, a practice session individually or in group, in which the student addresses manually or with the computer the problems posed by the teacher.

Other comments

To help achieve a sustained environment and meet the objective of the action number 5: "Teaching and healthy and sustainable environmental and social research" of the "Plan of action Green Campus Ferrol": documentary work that where delivered in this subject: 

• should be requested in virtual format and/or support computer 

• be made through Moodle, in digital format without having to print them if necessary 

• do them on paper:

-     Plastics will not be utilized 

- will be double-side printing.                  

-Will use recycled paper.                  

-Prevent printing drafts. 

You should make a sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment
