There will be no compensation between this evaluation and other qualifications of the subject.
Students must get at least a 5 score (out of 10).
Absence of waterproof barriers or insulating elements; acoustic bridges; wrong description of glazing and carpentry; thermal bridges or condensations will be considered serious errors that can lead to fail the subject.
In order to pass, first year students must deliver every part of the workshop. If not, they will obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment).
According to the documentation from ETSAC degree in Architectural Studies memory, a Board of Assessment will be convened to analyze the results and resolve, if appropriate, specific cases of student assessment.
Students who fail the workshop in January will have a second chance in July. If they obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment), they cannot attend the second opportunity (July).
Students who fail the specific part of the subject (Construction 5) (January and July) must develop in consecutive opportunities, with the appropriate adjustments, the project failed.
This will happen in all opportunities and calls.
Students with partial validations or exchange programs will have a set treatment for each case. 		50
Multiple-choice questions A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 C1 C3 Students must complete four mandatory testing about different topics. They must get at least a 5 score (out of 10) in each test (including penalizations). Three attempts in each are allowed with cumulative penalty of two points (first attempt: 0 points penalty, second attempt: 2 points, third attempt: 4 points).

Assessment comments

The program of the subject, delivered at the beginning of the course, will include information about minimum contents, delivery dates, dates of multiple choice tests, lessons, partial deliveries and everything needed to study the subject.

In order to promote continuous assessment, attendance will be controlled and the final mark will depend on the attitude and the work of the student. Students must pass theoretical and practical tests (Objective test, Multiple-choice questions tests), the supervised projects andthe workshop. This will confirm if the student assimilated the concepts, the competences, and methods of work of the subject.

SIMULTANEOUS CONDITIONS TO PASS THE SUBJECT IN ALL OPPORTUNITIES:

- Complete the required assistance.

- Workshop: at least 5 points (out of 10).

- Objective test: at least a score of 5 (out of 10).

- Multiple choice questions: at least a score of 5 (out of 10), each test.

- Delivery of the supervised work.

OVERALL AVERAGE MARK:

Average between the mark of the objective test plus the supervised work and the model with the average of the multiple choice questions. This mark makes average with the workshop work. If the above conditions are not got, the same formula will be applied but the maximum rating will be restricted to 4,9 out of 10,0.

Students who failed in January will be able to pass the subject in the second opportunity (July) but if they obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment), they cannot attend the second opportunity.

If students do not get the minimum attendance or do not deliver every part of the subject (Objective test, Multiple-choice questions tests, Supervised projects, Workshop and Case study), then they will obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment) (in each opportunity).
