Assessment comments
In order to pass the module, either during the first-opportunity term exams in June, or during the second-opportunity examination period in July, students will be required to have done 100% of all assigned work in each methodology, and achieve the minimum specified mark for each of the compulsory assignments, under the appropriate direction and supervision of the lecturer. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be recorded as ‘Absent (NP)’ and have their assessment deferred to a subsequent examination period.

Project supervision will only be deemed to have taken place where the supervising lecturer can confirm that student work on projects during class time is consistent with work completed outside of class hours. This condition will apply particularly in the case of students assessed during the second-opportunity examination period only. Students who fail to attend at least 80% of lectures and practical (workshop and supervised project) classes will be recorded as ‘Absent (NP)’ and have their assessment deferred to a subsequent examination period. Given the emphasis on personalized teaching and learning in this module, students will be strictly required to avail of the opportunities for engagement offered by the syllabus.

Consequently the following shall be met:

1)Students recorded as “Absent (NP)” in the first opportunity, will be required to deliver all the assigned work of the different methodologies (not delivered in the first opportunity) to be evaluated in the second opportunity.

2)Students who only sit for the second opportunity (in July), will be strictly required to do all the assigned work during the course with particular emphasis to the lecturer supervision of all these tasks.

3)Students who need to sit for the second opportunity and hadn´t got the minimum mark for the supervised projects, should develop a new ´development assignment´posed by the lecturers at the beginning of the second semester, to give students enough time to do it and to have it supervised by their teachers. The deadline to deliver this task will be 15 days before the date of the exam of the second opportunity. The mark of this new task will be considered instead of the previous one obtained during the first semester for this methodology, and will account for 40% of the total final mark for the module. A mark under 5 will result in a failing grade in this subject.

4)Students who need to sit for the second opportunity and hadn´t got the minimum mark for the workshop, should develop a new ´sketchpad´ posed by the lecturers at the beginning of the second semester, to give students enough time to do it and to have it supervised by their teachers. The deadline to deliver this task will be the day before the date of the exam of the second opportunity. The mark of this new task will be considered instead of the previous one obtained during the first semester for this methodology, and will account for 15% of the total final mark for the module. Final assessment control drawings (final exam) will account for a 40% of the total final mark for the module. A mark under 5 will result in a failing grade in this subject.

Students who fail to attend the weekly tutorial meetings (1 hour/semester) defined in the timetable will be recorded as ‘Absent (NP)’ and have their assessment deferred to a subsequent examination period.

Teaching, testing and assessment in respect of mobility programme students will be adapted to meet any special circumstances or supervision needs these students may have.
