Assessment Criteria

Second Opportunity and Early Call

For
both first and second opportunity students, the evaluation will be
conducted according to the relative weight indicated in the
methodologies table, the same as for students in the early call.

In
order to pass the course, both in the first and second evaluation
opportunities, as well as in the early call, it will be necessary to
obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5 out of 10 in the 



ICT practicals.

No grade

Students who do not submit the 



ICT practicals within the given
deadlines, as indicated by the respective professor in each call, will be
graded as "No Presentado" (Not Submitted). This criterion applies to
both the first and second evaluation opportunities, as well as the
early call.

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

Students
with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from
attendance will communicate their situation to the course instructors at
the beginning of the semester, as established by the "Norma que regula
el régimen de dedicación al estudio de los estudiantes de grado en la
UDC" (Article 3.b and 4.5) and the "Normas de evaluación, revisión y
reclamación de las calificaciones de los estudios de grado y máster
universitario" (Article 3 and 8b).

For students who request
academic exemption, the evaluation will be the same as for the others
since the
ICT practicals will be completed outside of class hours.

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.

Other comments
A sustainable use of resources must be made to prevent the negative impact on the natural environment. For this reason, the delivery of the documentary works carried out in this subject:

• They will be requested in virtual format and / or computer support

• It will be done through TEAMS or Moodle, in digital format without needing to print them

• If it is necessary to make them on paper: a) plastics will not be used, b) double-sided impressions will be made, c) recycled paper will be used, d) the printing of drafts will be avoided.
