Other comments on the Evaluation

Following
the guidelines of the studies, two systems of evaluation will be
offered to the students enrolled in this subject: either continuous
evaluation or evaluation at the end of the semester. Criteria for both
are detailed below.

1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION.

  • The student that receive it this system of evaluation will be able to achieve a maximum grade of 6 points.
  • The students must complete three evauable tasks. The preliminary schedule and the weight of each task in the final grade are:
    • Task 1. Week 4 (approximately). Topic 1. Weight 10%. EC1 up to 1p.
    • Task 2. Week 8 (approximately). Topics 2 to 4. Weight 20%. EC2 up to 2p.
    • Task 3. Week 12(approximately). Topics 5 and 6. Weight 30%. EC3 up to 3p.
  • The date and review procedure of the obtained marks will be officially communicated before the completion or delivery of eac task. Students will have the opportunity to be informed about the status of each task and review their evaluation within a reasonable period of time.
  • The task are not recoverable. If a student cannot fulfilled them in the stipulated term, the professor is not bound to repeat them.
  • The qualification for students who opt for continuous evaluation (EC) will be calculate as the sum of the obtained marks in the three tasks: EC=EC1+EC2+EC3.
  • The obtained qualification (EC) will be valid only for the current academic course.
  • It will be considerer that a student follows this continuous evaluation system when after completing the first task the student carries out the second task.

2. FINAL EVALUATION AT THE END OF SEMESTER.

  • This procedure will consist in a final examination that includes the contents developed in the classes of theory and practice.
  • This exam will be mandatory for all students. There are three cases:
    • For students that do not opt by the continuous evaluation points reached in it (among 0 and 10) will be the final grade.
    • Students doing the continuous evaluation: they are graded with the points obtained in the evaluation follow the next:
      • The part of the exam corresponding to topics 7 and 8 is mandatory for all of them. (Score EC4 up to 4p.)
      • If (EC1+EC2) is less than 1, the part of the exam corresponding to topics 1 to 4 is mandatoty. In other case thay can take this part to improve the sum (EC1+EC2)
      • If EC3 is less than 1, the part of the exam corresponding to topics 5 and 6 4 is mandatoty. In other case thay can take this part to improve the sum EC3
      • The final score is EF=(EC1+EC2)+EC3+EC4


3. RETAKE IN THE JULY SESSION.

  • It will consists on a final examination as the aforementioned.
  • For students in continuous evaluation, the exam is divided in three parts corresponding to the qualifications (EC1+EC2), EC3 and EC4. Students will take necessarily the parts of the exam with qualification less than 1. Optionally they will be able to take the rest in order to improve the corresponding qualification. The final qualification will be EF=(EC1+EC2)+EC3+EC4.

ADITIONAL COMMENTS:

  • It will be considered as presented every student that receives any of the two final exams or two of the exercicies of continuous evaluation.
  • If a student has participated in the continuous evaluation and does not pass the course he/she will be considered as presented and will receive a grade of fail, regardless of he/she takes the final exam or not.
