Assessment comments

For regular enrolled students, 40% of the course evaluation depends, as indicated in the table, on the mixed exam, which is conducted in writing and combines questions of different nature and scope. Another 40% will correspond to the development and presentation of case study assignments. 10% of the grade is reserved for the continuous evaluation of the master sessions and interactive activities. The final 10% will correspond to the continuous evaluation of the practical sessions.

To pass the course, the following conditions must be met:

Attendance to a minimum of 70% of the practical sessions is required. Absences properly justified due to health reasons will not be taken into account for this purpose.

Only a maximum of 20% absences from practical sessions without providing the corresponding justification will be considered.

A grade higher than 5 out of 10 must be obtained in the mixed exam. This exam will generally have a maximum execution time of 1 hour.

The grade "Not Attended" will be assigned to students who do not take the mixed exam, regardless of the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation of the practical and interactive block, as well as in the case study.

PART-TIME ENROLLMENT: There are no different teaching methodologies or evaluation systems contemplated for part-time students.

ACADEMIC EXEMPTION: Given the practical, applied, and clinically oriented nature of the course, the possibility of an academic exemption that exempts students from attending the practical and seminar/interactive sessions is not contemplated.

SECOND OPPORTUNITY: There are no different evaluation methodologies contemplated for the second chance.

REPEAT ENROLLMENT: For second or subsequent enrollment students, including early opportunity, the obtained grade in the sections of continuous evaluation of the practical and interactive block, as well as in the case study, may be retained upon prior request, provided that they were passed in previous academic years. Otherwise, these sections will be evaluated through a practical exam that will have a value equal to 60% of the course grade.

WITH HONORS DISTINCTION: Students who obtain a grade equal to or higher than 9/10 may be eligible for the mention of With Honors Distinction, in accordance with the limits established in Article 21 of the "Norms for Evaluation, Review, and Complaint of Grades for Bachelor's and Master's Degrees" at UDC. The honors enrollment will be granted in all cases to the highest overall grades.

PLAGIARISM: In the completion of course assignments, plagiarism and the use of non-original material, including material obtained through the internet, without explicit indication of its source and, if applicable, permission from its author, will be graded as a failure (0.0) in the activity. This is without prejudice to the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from the corresponding procedure. Once fraudulent completion of tests or evaluation activities is confirmed, it will directly result in a failing grade in the corresponding examination period: the student will be graded as "failed" (numerical grade 0) in the relevant examination period of the academic year, whether the offense occurs in the first opportunity or the second. In this regard, if necessary, the grade in the first examination period will be modified in the record.
