Assessment comments

Assessment, as
a system for collecting information aimed at the issuance of value judgments
(and in its case of merit) on the learning process, requires continuous
development with constant student involvement. With this premise, the
attendance and participation of the student are understood as fundamental, so
that an unjustified and repetitive absence can have an unfavorable impact on
the grade obtained by the course, in a similar proportion to a lack of
participation or a negative attitude. The correction criteria include not only
the accuracy of the results, but also the clarity of the presentation, the
structuring of the analysis carried out, the use of units, the correct
application of the normative criteria, and the terminology used.

The continuous
evaluation system is configured with mixed tests (theoretical-practical exam)
that will be carried out during the school period, and workshop practice, each
of these items representing the percentage indicated above on the overall
grade.

In order to
carry out the intermediate mixed tests, the following are necessary
requirements:

· Having
delivered the student virtual card correctly within the stipulated period.

· Attendance
not less than 80% in the corresponding period, applicable in each of the
categories of face-to-face classes (expository, interactive and workshop). This
condition will not be required of students with part-time enrollment.

In order to
pass the subject per course, the following requirements must be met:

· Have
obtained in each of the intermediate mixed tests a rating of not less than 5
out of 10.

· Have
obtained a grade of not less than 1 out of 5 in the workshop exercise.

Students who
have not passed the subject per course will be retested for the pending parts (mixed
tests) in the two official opportunities of the same course. In both cases, the
grade obtained from the workshop will be kept, given that the delivery of this
exercise is unique, on the date defined for this purpose.

The students
who have passed the subject of projects 6, in order to approve structures 4,
will have to develop their workshop proposal on the subject developed in the
course in which they have passed projects 6, in any case requiring adequate
follow-up during the period of workshop teaching.

Any finding
of plagiarism or relevant breach of the conditions established for the
development of deliveries and/or exams will result in a failure grade (0) in
the matter and in the corresponding call, invalidating any assessment obtained
in all previous assessment activities, facing subsequent calls.
