Assessment comments

The aim is to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge, critical capacity, synthesis, comparison, elaboration, application and originality of the students. For a suitable use of the subject, the students must attend all the activities present.

The realization of the practices is a basic criterion to pass the subject. Without doing the practicals, it will not be possible to pass the course, independently of the weight of the practicals in the evaluation.

* First opportunity. In order to take into account the activities of case studies and oral presentation, it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4.0/10 in each of the two parts of the mixed test. The final grade is obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions.

* Second opportunity. The parts of the mixed exam that have not been passed may be repeated, and the activity established as equivalent to the directed discussion may be handed in in writing. The activities related to the work developed in the seminars will be considered unrepeatable. The final qualification will be obtained by applying the established percentages and the previously established restrictions.

In any of both opportunities, if a minimum qualification of 4.0/10 is not achieved in each of the parts of the mixed test, the subject will be considered as failed even if the final qualification, calculated according to the corresponding percentages, is equal or higher than 5/10. In this case, the final grade will be 4.5/10.

Honours: if there are several students with the same qualification who can opt for the MH, and the number of MH available is less than the number of students, they will be called to a written test. The students who were evaluated in the second opportunity will only be able to opt for the MH if the number of MHs was not covered in its totality in the first opportunity.

"Not presented" qualification: applies to students who participate in activities that represent less than (<) 40% of the final qualification.

Successive academic years. The teaching-learning process, including evaluation, refers to one academic year and, therefore, starts again from zero with each new course.

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance may take the mixed test, as long as the professors are duly informed at the beginning of the course. Without detriment to the above, the professors may ask these students to carry out different works/problems during the course to be presented during tutorial hours.

During the realization of the practical test, in any of both opportunities, unless otherwise indicated, it is forbidden to use any device with Internet access. If during the realization of the practical test, there are indications of unauthorized use of these devices, @ student will be expelled from the classroom, and will proceed according to Law 3/2022, of February 24, of university coexistence and the disciplinary regulation of the student of the UDC.

The fraudulent realization of the tests and/or activities will directly imply the qualification of failure ("0") in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating any qualification obtained in all the activities for the next opportunity, if any, within the same academic year. It is considered fraudulent to carry out the activities, proposed to be completed in person in the classroom, which are done from outside the classroom, according to Law 3/2022, of February 24, of university coexistence and the disciplinary regulation of the student of the UDC.

Use of this subject as a training complement for doctoral studies: the qualification will be "pass" or "fail".
