Assessment comments

Official withdraw from the course is only possible if the student attends neither the final theoretical (objective test) nor the practical exam.

In order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to achieve at least 50 points with the sum of the different evaluation methodologies, as long as the minimum mark required in the practical and the objective test has been achieved. The final grade of the students who did not reach the minimum mark to pass the course in the practical or the objective test, but whose cumulative score happened to be higher than 50, will be a 4.9 (FAILED). 

In the event that, for duly justified reasons, it is not possible to attend the official exam of the subject, an oral exam will be held, with a similar content to the written exam. 

If a student does not achieve the maximum possible scores in the continuous assessment activities, he/she may choose to take an additional block of questions in the final exam of the subject, on the understanding that he/she renounces the qualification he/she obtained before in the continuous assessment.

The second opportunity will only be assessed by means of the practical exam and the objective test, using the same methodology as in the first opportunity. For the purposes of calculating the final grade, the marks obtained in the activities with continuous assessment (seminar and multiple-choice test) at the first opportunity will be maintained. 

For the computation of the final grade of students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of attendance, both in the opportunity of the end of term and in the second opportunity, the grade obtained in the theoretical exam and the corresponding practical part (see above format of both exams) will be taken into account, representing 75% and 25% of the final grade, respectively.

The fraudulent performance of the evaluation tests or activities will directly imply the grade of FAILED (0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the commission of the fault occurs in the first opportunity or in the second one.
