EVALUATION TESTS

There will be four types of tests:

1. A midterm exam (PMC),

2. Six self-evaluation tests (PAQ),

3. Ten True/Fase tests (CP) y 

4. A Final exam at the end of the semester (June) and its second opportunity (July) in the dates fixed by the School.

MODES OF GRADING

Two modes:

1.- CONTINUOUS GRADING: The midterm counts 35%; the six self-evaluation tests will count together 15%; the ten True/False tests will count together 10% the final will count 40%.

2.- GLOBAL GRADING: The final exam will count 100%. 

Choice of mode of evaluation (continuos/global) 

Each student can choose the mode of evaluation better for him or her any time during the semester even after the grades of the final exam have come out.

DEFAULT MODE OF EVALUATION

TWO GRADES WILL BE CALCULATED FOR EACH STUDENT AND THE HIGHEST OF THE TWO WILL BE ASSIGENED BY DEFAULT.

FORMULA FOR THE FINAL GRADE

The default final grade will be calculated by the following formula:

NF = máx ( 0,6*PEC + 0,4*EF ,  EF + (3/50)*PEC*(10 - EF) )

where PEC is the weighted average of the three grades of continuous evaluation (in the range 0-10):  PMC, MAQ, and CP with weights as indicated above.

Evaluated competencies: CB2, CB3, CG8, CG9, CE1, CE3, CE12, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CT11.

Evaluated learning outcomes: RA1 to RA24.

CRITERIA OF EVALUATION FOR END OF CAREER EXAM

Methodology/Single Test: Evaluation of theory and problems.

Description: Written exam that will include evaluation of theoretical concepts and resolution of exercises.

% Qualification: 100%.

PROCESS OF ASSIGNING THE FINAL GRADE

Independently of the announcement, the final grade will be the symmetrical round to 1 decimal places of the final grade obtained in the course: Round ( CG , 1 ).

Grade of "No Presentado": The final grade in the first or second announcement will be of "No Presentado" in case –and only in case– of not to having written the corresponding final examination.

The calendar of exams approved officially by the Xunta of Centre of the ESEI is published in the following web page: https://esei.uvigo.es/docencia/exames/.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS

REGISTERING FOR THE TESTS OF CONTINUOUS EVALUATION AND EXAMS: For any student, in order to be admitted to taking the midterm exam or any of the final examinations, he or she must register for it through the corresponding online tool within the period established to that end, which will be announced at least 5 days in advance.

ETHICAL CODE AND ETHICAL COMMITMENT:

It is expected of all students an ethical behaviour in all the evaluation tests and exams, in which the answers given by the students should truly reflect the real knowledge an preparation attained in the course. The students must remember that the Estatuto del Estudiante Universitario, in the article 13.2.d), establishes as a duty of students:

"To abstain from using or helping others to use fraudulent procedures in the evaluation tests, in homework or in official documents of the university".

BREAKING OF THE ETHICAL CODE:

One of the types of infractions of the ethical code is cheating or plagiarizing in homework or exams. This is usually detected when in two pieces of work or exams there appear significant coincidences* which would have been wholly impossible without one author having had access to the work of the other or both to an external source. In such cases there will be considered as of equal gravity the fault of whoever had obtained material from someone else as that of whoever allowed someone to have access to his or her own work.

The penalty for an infraction of the ethical code as described above will be the expulsion form the system of continuous evaluation, so that all involved will be evaluated following the criteria for non assistents. In the case that the infraction takes place in a final exam, the penalty will be thre calification of zero in that exam for all involved.

(*) By a significant coincidence or evidence of cheating is understood a frase or expression of peculiar traits, which is inexplicably repeated identically in different pieces of work or exams by different students and whose repetition none of the involved students is capable of explaining to the satisfaction of the teacher.
