Assessment comments

At the beginning of the course students
must choose one of two ways: either continuous assessment or assessment by
examination on the official date. Those opting for the latter route will only
have to present a theoretical and practical examination on the official date.
Students who choose the path of continuous evaluation may not be presented for
consideration by the official date in June. It is understood that chose not
continuous assessment those students who did not communicate to the teacher by
e-mail their choice by continuous assessment before February 15, 2018.

The evaluation of the efforts of students
who have opted for continuous assessment will be based on a system of points
that have to be accumulated throughout the semester. The maximum number of points
that students can get will be 100 on continuous assessment and 80 in
non-continuous assessment. Their final score will depend directly on the number
of points they accumulate.

For students in the continuous evaluation,
four of activities in which they can accumulate points: an oral presentation in
groups, ITC practicals in the classroom, a supervised group project and an objective test about the theoretical
content of the subject. The maximum number of points in each of these
activities will be: 15 in the oral presentation, 20 in the supervised project, 25 in the ICT practicals, and
40 points in the objective test.

In some classes the teacher will pass a
signature sheet to monitor student attendance.

Students in the continuous evaluation,
will approve the subject if they meet each and every one of the following three
conditions: (1) to attend at least 75% of classes in which attendance was
monitored; (2) to accumulate 50 or more points and (3) to obtain in each of the methodologies, at least a third of the points involved (5 in the oral presentation, 7 in the supervised project, 8 in the ICT practicals, and 13 on the objective test).

Students in non-continuous evaluation must
obtain at least 50 points to pass, since the theoretical part will involve a
maximum 45 points and the practical part will involve a maximum of 35 points.
This will also be applied in the official opportunity
of July.

The ratings of any of the practices, the
group project or any other previous courses will not be saved. In no way,
scores on any of the teaching activities in an opportunity will be saved in any
of the others.















The teacher reserves the right
to make changes along the course, provided they are not in contradiction with
any of the information contained herein.
