There will be three objective exams during the semester.These will contain similar exercises as the ones that are solved in class and will be used to maintain a continuous evaluation process.
The first test will cover Blocks I and II (Diedral System), the second, Blocks III and IV (Diedral System) and the third V and VI (Figured Plans System-Topographical Representation).
It is considered mandatory to attend both lectures and interactive and the students must meet certain minimum requirements for assistance to be able to do the tests. This assistance is established as a minimum of 80%.
The objective three tests will be graded out of 10 points each. The final overall grade of these tests are determined by adding the scores of each one and divided by three. The minimun grade must be 5 in each test so the average can be done.
In addition to attendance, participation and completion of supervised projects, tests may be required in order to properly assess the degree of assimilation of conceptual and procedural course content.
The student will pass the course once the global average score is equal or greater than 5.
Students who do not achieve the minimum score of 5 points will have to attend the oficial final exam for the course that will be held at the end of the semester (First Chance) according to the official calendar approved by School Board.
It will keep the passed test objective scoring but for complete systems. This condition is linked to the current academic year and therefore these passing grades will be saved for the First Chance exam (January) and Second Chance exam (July) but only during the current course and not for the following academic year.
The grading of the final exam and of the different tests , as well as the possible revision of the grade, will be done by the course teacher responsible for the group to which the student belongs.
IMPORTANT NOTE. So that students can get a passing score on the final exams, it is mandatory to score in both exercises for the dihedral system and Topographical Projection (Planos Acotados System). A score of 0 in any of them would lead to the failing grade in the course.
