Assessment comments
  1. Deadlines for handing in the -- trabajos tutelados -- (written tasks) are30th October and 30th November 2015. You must hand in BOTH tasks required for marks to be added to the rest of the marks.
  2. You will be required to sign in at every session (whole group, interactive and tutorial groups). Regular attendance is an indication of your interest in the subject, apart from being necessary for progress.
  3. Proba mixta: (exam on written exercises) the date is fixed by the Faculty for 2015-16 with the first opportunity at the end of the semester. This date is NOT negotiable.
  4. Students should, therefore, make sure they are present, especially if they travel during the Christmas holidays.This applies to all students, both local UDC ones and visiting Erasmus students.
  5. The second opportunity, in July, according to the dates approved by the Faculty, will consist of repeating the part(s) of the assessment not already passed, maintaining the same percentages. If the "supervised projects" (assignments) part is failed, students must present TWO NEW pieces of work. Details will be posted on Moodle, with deadlines during the second semester and before the exam period begins. The second opportunity oral exam will take place in JUNE, before the date of the written exam. 
  6.  The July opportunity is not intended as a way of improving marks in sections already passed; it is only for resitting the parts which a student has failed
  7. Students will obtain a "no presentado" (absent from assessment) if they do not attend the exams ( proba mixta and proba oral ) and if they do not hand in any work.
  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.
  9. If you fail the first opportunity and do not attend the second opportunity, your mark will be SUSPENSO (FAIL).
