Assessment comments

Right to Continuous Evaluation (CE).

To have the right to CE, it will be necessary to have
a minimum of 80% of attendance to face-to-face classes, either expository or
interactive teaching.

Final mark for CE = (0.4*Average of mixed tests) +
(0.2*Average of objective tests) + (0.3* Supervised project mark) + (0.1* Collaborative project.mark).

Students with recognition of part-time dedication and
academic dispensation of exemption from attendance (as established in the
corresponding UdC regulations), will be able to take the EC without the need to
attend 80% of the face-to-face classes. To this end, these students will duly
inform the lecturer, at the beginning of the course, of their academic exemption
and their availability to attend classes. The teacher will agree individually
with these students the methodologies to compensate for the non-attendance to
face-to-face classes and their corresponding evaluation.

Mixed objective/subjective tests.

40% of the CE grade is obtained from the average of
the mixed tests taken (one or several) on the topics contained in the subject.
In order for these tests to be averaged together, the minimum mark will be 4.0.
If the average of the mixed tests is less than 5.0, the student will be considered
to have failed the CE.

Objective tests.

20% of the mark for the CE is obtained from the
average of the objective tests taken during the course. If this average is less
than 5.0, the student will be considered to have failed the CE. If a student
fails to attend an objective test without a justified reason, the mark for the
test will be 0. Those who justify the absence may take the test on another date
designated by the teacher.

Supervised projects.

30% of the grade of the EC is obtained from the grade
of the supervised work. The work will be assessed according to a rubric. If the
grade of the work is lower than 5.0, the student will be considered to have
failed the CE.

Collaborative project.

10% of the CE grade is obtained from the grade
obtained in the collaborative project, which will be evaluated according to a
rubric. If the grade of the work is lower than 5.0, it will be considered that
the students have not passed the CE.

1st and 2nd official exam dates.

Students who do not pass the CE (minimum attendance
and grade) or who decide not to follow it, may sit the final exams in January
and June.

The assessment of these exams will consist of a mixed
test that may consist of any type of question. The contents of these mixed
tests may cover any content of the subject.

The final mark of the exam will be the mark of this
test.

Rounding.

All marks will be based on a maximum score of 10.0. To
pass the continuous assessment and the two opportunities, the final mark must
be a 5.0. Any grade lower than this will be considered as a fail. Grades will
be rounded off to the nearest tenth. In the case of the hundredth being 5, it
will be rounded up to the nearest tenth.

Ethical behaviour.













































































If, during an assessment
test, the responsible teachers become aware of any breach of the principles of
decorum, legality or individual merit, such as the use of documents or
instruments that are not permitted, the copying or attempted copying of results
obtained by fellow students, or access to the assessment tests with electronic
instruments or mobile devices switched on, not expressly authorised by the
responsible teacher, Article 14 will be applied, Article 14 of the Norms of
Assessment, Revision and Claiming of the Qualifications of University Degree
and Master's Degrees and the sanctions included in Article 11 of the
Disciplinary Regulations for Students of the University of A Coruña will be
applied (the student will be qualified with a "fail" - numerical
grade 0 - in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offence
is committed at the first or the second opportunity. For this, the student's grade
will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary).
