First
opportunity:

15% active participation in the sessions. Please note that attendance is compulsory.

55% exercises, assignments, and programmed readings.

30% oral presentation of a case study. Students will have to provide a hand-out
and a powerpoint presentation.

Second opportunity (July):

Students will have to repeat only those parts (exercises and case study) in
which they did not reach a pass in the first opportunity. In the second
opportunity the case study will be submitted as a written essay (between
2000-3000 words excluding references).

Given that this programme is
part distance learning, part actual attendance, students are required to attend
the compulsory sessions, unless they have applied for exemption within the time
period specified by the Academic Commission of the degree, and this exemption
has been granted. This exemption will be valid provided students comply with
the rules on attendance in force in the three universities participating in the
programme, and provided they comply with the assessment systems which are
specified in the teaching guides for each module. Students should be aware,
however, that not attending certain classroom sessions may affect their final
grades.

Students
who have been granted exemption, as specified in the university regulations,
will be assessed according to the criteria applied to the July opportunity.

Students
who do not submit a supervised project, or who fail
to submit at least 50% of the other tasks for assessment, will be graded as
absent from assessment (NP: no presentado).

Students
who do not pass in the first opportunity will be able
to re-sit in July, when they will be required to demonstrate that they have
acquired the skills for each module via two types of assessment: a supervised
project with the same percentage value and characteristics as in the first
opportunity, plus the exercises agreed upon with the lecturer(s) as a
substitute for the other activities of the module.
