Assessment and grading criteria There will be two types of coursework, one or more will be compulsory, and one will be optional. The compulsory coursework will account for 80% of the overall mark of the coursework, and the optional coursework will account for the rest (20%). In order to pass the subject it is sufficient to adequately complete the compulsory coursework, and to obtain 5 points out of 10 in the defence test, which may be oral and individual. The basic correction criteria are as follows: The score will be null if the answer or result of the calculation: - Include a misconception.- Do not include adequate justification of the decision taken or, in general, of the response requested (if such justification is requested).- Or they do not respect any of the essential requirements that the statement has established.- In the case of numerical results, if the result requested does not coincide with the one to be obtained (leaving possible rounding differences to the margin), or if the necessary detail of the operations carried out is not included, or if the calculation computer file used to carry out the exercise is not included.
The evaluation criteria are the same for the first and the second opportunity, including students with academic dispensation. In the event that the student applies for an early exam session, he/she must fulfil the same requirements as the other students, with sufficient time in advance to be eligible for this right, notifying the teacher sufficiently in advance so that he/she can make the necessary arrangements. In any case, always developing the topics to be taught and, therefore, fulfilling the teaching assignment within the framework established by the number of credits of the subject, the teacher has the right to Academic Freedom, as recognized by the Spanish Constitution, the Spanish Constitutional Court, the Spanish Organic Law of Universities, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and UNESCO. Obviously, the teacher must always act within the law, and must teach modern, current, and correct contents covering the entire scope defined by the curriculum. The Spanish Constitution (Art. 20) establishes respect for the Academic Freedom which, in its different definitions (e.g., Real Academia Española and Consejo General del Poder Judicial; https://dej.rae.es), implies the possibility of the professor to explain the subject in accordance with his or her own convictions, complying with the established syllabuses, and within the framework of the institutions responsible for organizing education, as long as they adequately exercise the corresponding responsibility. At the same time, Castillo Córdova (2006) includes in the Academic Freedom the faculty to choose the methodology that the professor considers most appropriate to transmit the knowledge. The latter means that the aspects of this guide corresponding to the teaching methods to be used, and the percentage of hours to be devoted to each of them, are merely tentative, for guidance, and the teacher will be able to make changes if he / she considers it positive, being able to investigate whether there are better methodological approaches for teaching, such as some of those proposed in scientific literature or in specialized monographs on the subject (Felder and Brent, 2016), and always in favour of academic results. All of the above explained with respect to teaching methodologies will never negatively affect the mode of evaluation, in which the student will always be able to obtain the maximum grade regardless of his or her personal circumstances, in accordance with what is established in this evaluation section. Student responsibilities. The distance learning student must watch the videos of the lectures, study all the materials made available on the Virtual Campus, consult any doubts that may arise, and have all the appropriate material resources to be able to follow the course and be assessed.
