Following the guidelines of the degree, two systems of evaluation are offered: continuous assessment (recommended) and a final examination. Evaluation with only a final examination will be only allowed in situations in which it is imposible to follow the recommended system. LANGUAGE: The student can choose the language to use during the assessment process between english and spanish. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: The continuous assessment will be based in the evaluation of practical task, projects and two tests. Once a student has signed a document of agreement with the process of continuous assessment, the final degree will be obtained by the application of the criteria described bellow. The subject is assessed in a 0 to 10 points scale and it is considered "passed" if each activity is graded equal or greater than 4, and the final grade obtained is equal or greater than 5. The final grade with be obtained from the weighted sum of the grade obtained in the following tasks with the given weights. - Tutored works: 30 % of the final grade. Two reports will be delivered: the first during the 6th week and the second during the 11th week
- Reports of practical tasks(Weight: 40 %).
- Short answer tests : Two short answer tests are included in the process of continuous assesment, (test 1 is scheduled on the 5th week and test 2 on the 11th week) (Total weight :20% each, with a total weight of 40% on the final grade).
FINAL EXAMINATION: A final examination is available for those students that for some reason could not follow the continuous evaluation assessment process. In this case there is date scheduled and officially published for final examination. The final examination will consist in two short answer tests, and some additional questions related with the practical tasks and projects. The subject is assessed in a 0 to 10 points scale and it is considered "passed" if the final grade obtained is equal or greater than 5. RETAKE IN JULY: There is scheduled date in july for a final examination retake, for those students that either dropped out during the semester or failed. Prior the examination, a student can choose to follow the continuous assessment or the final examination.
