Assessment comments

Students
are required to obtain a final grade of at least 5.0 out of 10 to pass this
subject. However, all the activities making up the assessment (lectures,
workshops and lab sessions) can be compensated among them getting a grade of at
least 4.0. Students passing any of the parts (lectures and workshops + lab
sessions) are given the opportunity to keep this mark for the two grading
opportunities (January and July), being only examined of those parts which they
failed. However, all the teaching-learning process of this subject is based on
the idea of being developed in the current term. This means that for successive
terms the student is suppossed to fullfill all the assignments scheduled for
those specific terms.

Under
exceptional justified reasons, such as part-time learning, or students with
special educational needs, specific assessments could be undertaken.

The
grade “no show” will be given only to those students who have not participated
in more than 20% of the assessed activities during the term.

The
before mentioned instructions also apply for part-time students.

Students
from former terms, if attending the December’s advance call, will be examined
under the rules of the 2020-21 academic year (please check the corresponding
syllabus).


If academic fraud is detected in any of the activities included in the continuous assessment of the course, the student/s
involved will be qualified with "Fail (0)" in the corresponding opportunity (January or July) of the terms's
call
