Following the guidelines of the degree, two assessment systems will be offered to the students: Continuous assessment or Final exam assessment.

Continuous assessment is based on several tasks. Each student can decide himself to follow or not Continuous assessment. It is assumed that a student follows this assessment system if he sits task 2 (around the seventh week of the term) or any later task. Sitting Task 1 (both, part 1 and part 2) does not bind the student to Continuous assessment.

Students who choose Continuous assessment:

Several tasks are evaluated with a grade between 0 and 10. The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the Comisión Académica de Grado (CAG) and will be available at the beginning of each academic semester.

A brief description of the tasks and their weight 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 problem solved 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 choose Final exam assessment. 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 (around one week).

These tasks are not recoverable, that is, if a student cannot sit them, 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 assessment and does not pass the course he/she will receive a grade of fail, regardless of he sits the final exam or not.

The final grade for students who choose Continuous assessment 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 grade.

Students who choose Final exam assessment or End-of-program call:

In this cases students will carry out one only final exam. This exam will be graded between 0 and 10, and this value will be the final grade of the student.

Second call

At the Second call, available only for  students who have not passed the subject previously, students have to choose between Continuous and Final exam assessment, regardless of the system they chose at the First call. The choice has to be made before the exam is carried out. On the other hand, grades will be obtained using the corresponding assessment system as it has been described above.  

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

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.
