Assessment comments

 


  1. Subjective test: on the date approved by Xunta de Facultade for the academic year 2015-16 (first opportunity at the end of the semester). This date is not negotiable. Students should make sure they are present, especially if they travel during the Christmas holidays. This is valid for both UDC students and Erasmus students.
  2. The dates for submitting work and for the oral presentation must be adhered to; any circumstance which prevents a student from fulfilling his/her obligations must be officially justified in writing, together with appropriate documents.
  3. A 5 out of 10 is necessary in each section of the assessment in order to pass this subject.
  4. The second opportunity in July, according to the date fixed in the academic calendar, will be based on the repetition of the parts(s) not already passed, maintaining the same percentages.
  5. The July opportunity is not intended for improving marks of sections already passed; it is only for those parts which have not been passed.
  6. Students will obtain a "no presentado" (absent from assessment) if they do not attend the written exam and  and if they do not hand in  the requiired practical work (ICT sessions and the DVD recording).
  7. Students who fail the first opportunity and do not attend the second opportunity in July will receive SUSPENSO --fail--.
  8. Students who are officially registered as part time, and have been granted permission not to attend classes, as stipulated in the regulations of this University, will be assessed in either of the opportunities according to the same criteria specified for the second opportunity. This is an obligatory subject corresponding to
    the third year of the degree, and as such, its timetables and requirements
    have preference over subjects corresponding to the fourth year and in
    which a student may also be registered. Clearly, a third-year student's first
    obligation should be to attend third-year subjects and fulfil the tasks
    set.
