Assessment comments

STUDENT EVALUATION SYSTEM: 

All the activities, tasks and work to be carried out throughout the term count towards the final mark. The practicals and the research work will be carried out throughout the term and the objective test (exam) on the official date of the first call.

Both the workshop practicals and the supervised research work will be handed in on the dates set by the teacher through the platform provided for this purpose in the Virtual Classroom. No practical work will be corrected after the deadline. The tutored work will only be corrected once after the delivery date (there will be no second correction) as the students already have the instructions and guidance of the teacher in the interactive sessions and in the tutorials.

The practical part of the course accounts for 50% of the final mark. It is made up of tutored work (25%) + workshop activities (25%). In order to be assessed in this part of the course, it is compulsory to hand in the tutored work.

The theoretical part of the subject will be assessed by means of an exam, on the official dates of first and second opportunity approved by the Faculty Board, and it represents 50% of the grade.

The final grade will be the result of the average of the two parts (theoretical and practical). The minimum grade to pass each of the parts is a 5 (pass).

In the event of failing one of the parts in the first sitting, the mark of the part passed will be kept for the second sitting.

STUDENTS WITH DISPENSATION OR RECOGNITION OF PART-TIME DEDICATION:

Those students with dispensation or recognition of part-time dedication should contact the teacher responsible for the subject at the beginning of the course to communicate their situation.

- The practical part will be assessed by means of an individual tutored work (25%) and practical activities adapted to the non-presential nature (25%) that the teacher will make available in the virtual classroom. Both the work and the practical activities must be handed in on the date of the official exam of the subject.

- The evaluation of the theoretical contents will be the same as that of the on-site students.

SECOND CHANCE: The conditions will be the same as in the first call.

ADI STUDENTS: Both the contents and the evaluation system will follow the recommendations of reasonable adjustments proposed by the Unit of Attention to Diversity (ADI) in the case of students with functional diversity or SEN, provided by the Coordination of the PAT of the centre.

EARLY CALL: The evaluation conditions for early call students will be an exam with theoretical and practical content available to students in the Virtual Classroom, which will account for 100% of the mark.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMME STUDENTS: The evaluation system will be the same as for the rest of the students.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS: 

The materials used in the sessions: presentations, audiovisuals, readings and practicals will be made available to the student in digital format through the Virtual Classroom.

The assignments and practicals will be handed in through the Virtual Classroom, following the teacher's instructions. 

Copying or attempting to copy in an exam as well as plagiarising parts of a work or the whole work, means failing the subject (Article 14, point 4. Norms of evaluation, revision and claim of the qualifications of the university degree and master's degree studies, UDC).

The activities of the workshop, the work must be delivered on the dates stipulated by the teacher, as well as the attendance to the exam must be done on the official date approved by the Board of Centre, may only be modified in accordance with the assumptions of article 12 of the Rules of evaluation, review and complaint of the qualifications of the degree and master's degree studies, UDC.
