Assessment comments

Most of the lectures contents will be assessed in a final exam. This exam will count 6 points, and students are required to obtain at least 2.4 points out of 6 to pass it (the exam will have 10 questions, so students are required to obtain at least 4 points). IMPORTANT: Students have the right to be assessed in the official languages of the UDC (Galician and Spanish) in an appointment process.

Seminars, practical work reports and class assignments will count 4 points. Active participation in these activities is expected, and group working is strongly recommended.

Students who do not complete all the required tasks and activities will not be able to attain the maximum grade (10 points) in any of the grading opportunities. Points earned in seminars, practical work and class assignments (or Service-Learning activities) will be kept for the two grading opportunities.

Students are required to obtain at least 5 points out of 10 to pass the course.

For being classified as “Absent”, students can not take the final exam (the short answer exam).
