Assessment comments

In order to pass this subject, students are required to obtain a passing grade (50%) in ALL THREE assessment sections (written test, oral and continuous assessment.

Students will only be awarded ABSENT if they have not taken part in any of the activities that form part of the assessment system. 

The same assessment method applies for the second opportunity. Students will therefore be required to retake those sections of the subject in which they did not obtain a passing grade or that they did not undertake. 

Students who are unable to comply with the attendance requirements due to exemption from attendance as stipulated in regulations to this effect published by the University of A Coruña (Art. 3.b  e 4.5 Normas de availación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario (Art 3 e 8b), will be required to complete all continuous assessment tasks (20%), complete the final test (50%) and take an oral exam (30%). 

In the case of the early examination session, assessment will consist of a written exam (70%) and an oral test (30%). 

Alternative forms of assessment may be considered for special cases (written proof required).

Academic integrity

Students are reminded that the use of all aids or devices in the final exam is strictly forbidden. The use of any unauthorised aids will automatically result in a failing grade (0). All dishonest practices (including, but not limited to, plagiarism, cheating in exams, etc.) will be penalised pursuant to article 14 of the University of A Coruña’s academic regulations ( Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación dás cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario ).
