Following the guidelines of the degree, two evaluation systems will be offered to the students: continuous evaluation or unique evaluation.

Continuous evaluation is based on several assessed tasks.

It is assumed that a student follows the continuous evaluation system if she/he participates in task 2 (approximately in the seventh week of the semester) or any later task. Task 1 (both, part 1 and part 2) may be performed without engaging the student with the continuous evaluation system.

Students who choose continuous evaluation:

Several tasks are evaluated with a grade between 0 and 10. The planning for the different intermediate evaluation tasks will be approved by the Degree Academic Board (CAG) and it will be available at the beginning of the semester. A brief description of the tasks and the weight of each one in the final grade is listed below.

Task 1: Weight 12.5%. Two parts, both with the same weight:

  Part 1: Individual resolution of a problem

  Part 2: Correction of the task 1(part 1) from somebody else

Task 2: Individual resolution of a multiple choice test. Weight 12.5%

Task 3: Individual resolution of a problem. Weight 12.5%

Task 4: Individual resolution of a problem. Weight 12.5%

Last Task: Final exam. A reduced version of the exam to be carried out by the students who chose unique evaluation. Weight 50%

Before the completion or delivery of each task, the date and procedure for its review will be indicated. Students will have the option to know the grade of each task and review its correction within a reasonable period of time (usually a week).

These tasks are not recoverable, what means that if a student cannot fulfill them in the stipulated period, teachers will not be committed to repeat them.

The obtained grades will be valid only for the current academic course.

If a student has participated in continuous evaluation and does not pass the course he/she will receive a grade of fail, regardless of he/she carries out the final exam or not.

The final grade for students who opt for continuous evaluation will be calculated as the mean between the final exam and the average of the previous tasks marks. To minimize the impact of a possible miss on a task, the average of these will be computed excluding the worst obtained grade.

Students who choose for unique evaluation or extraordinary call:

For this evaluation system the students will carry out a unique final exam. This exam will be rated between 0 and 10, and this will be the final grade obtained.

Second chance

Previously to the exam (or at its beginning), all students will be asked to choose to be evaluated by continuous evaluation system or unique evaluation system as they have been described before.

The subject is considered passed if the final grade obtained is equal to or greater than 5.
