Assessment comments

Assessment,
as a system for collecting information aimed at issuing value judgements (and,
where appropriate, merit) on the learning process, requires continuous
development with constant student involvement. With this premise, student
attendance and participation are considered fundamental, in such a way that an
unjustified and repeated absence may have an unfavourable effect on the grade
obtained per course, in a similar proportion to a lack of participation or a negative
attitude. The correction criteria include not only the accuracy of the results,
but also the clarity of the presentation, the structure of the analysis carried
out, the use of units, the correct application of the normative criteria, and
the terminology used; as well as the resolution, detail and graphic quality of
the representation of the structure, in general, and of the different elements
of which it is composed, in particular.

The
continuous assessment system is configured with mixed tests (theoretical-practical
exam) to be carried out during the teaching period, and workshop practice, with
each of these items representing the aforementioned percentage of the overall
grade.

In
order to pass the course, the following requirements must be met:

•   
To
have handed in the student form correctly by the stipulated deadline.

•   
Attendance
of no less than 80%, applicable to each of the categories of face-to-face
classes (expository, interactive and workshop). This condition will not be
required for students enrolled part-time or with academic dispensation, except
for the workshop follow-up.

•   
Obtain
a minimum mark of 4 out of 10 in each of the two mixed tests.

•   
Obtain
a minimum mark of 3 out of 10 in the workshop exercise, and have completed the
partial deliveries established for this purpose. It should be noted that the
workshop qualification requires continuous monitoring of its development, so
that, if this is insufficient, the exercise will be graded with a 0. The
conditions for the workshop exercise will be identical regardless of whether or
not the student has previously passed Projects 5.

•   
Obtain
a final course grade of at least 5 out of 10.

Students
who do not pass the course must present themselves in any of the two official
opportunities of the same course. In both opportunities the grade obtained in
the workshop will be kept, since the delivery of this exercise is unique, on
the date defined for this purpose.

In
accordance with article 14 of the Rules for assessment, review and claims of
grades for Bachelor's and Master's degree courses, any finding of plagiarism,
fraud, or relevant non-compliance with the conditions established for the
development of deliveries and/or exams, will result in a grade of failure (0),
of the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise after the corresponding
procedure.
