EVALUATION MODALITY CHOICE

Students may choose to be evaluated through the continuous evaluation system, or alternatively opt for Global Evaluation. The default evaluation is continuous evaluation. The students will be able to choose the global evaluation according to the procedure and the term established by the center. Choosing a global assessment implies waiving the right to continue evaluating through the remaining continuous assessment activities and the qualification obtained up to that moment in any of the tests that have already taken place.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

It is the evaluation system that is applied to students if they do not expressly waive continuous evaluation.

The following exams will be carried out throughout the course:

• Exam of objective questions (35%). Various multiple choice tests will be carried out on the Moovi platform.
• Development questions exam 1 (30%). There will be a theoretical-practical exam in the middle of the semester. It will be done during class time. The date will be communicated through Moovi.
• Self-assessment (5%): There are different self-assessment activities scheduled on the Moovi platform for each of the topics of the subject.
• Development questions exam 2 (30%): A theoretical-practical exam will be carried out on the same day as the official global evaluation date of the first opportunity.

2nd chance

The form of evaluation in the second call is the same as in the first, and it is not possible to change the type of evaluation. In this case, the students will have the opportunity to recover those exams that they had not passed in the first call (grade less than 5) as well as those that they had not taken. For the rest of the exams, the grade obtained in the first call will be kept.

The deadlines to recover the objective and self-assessment question exams will be indicated through the Moovi platform. In the case of the development questions exams, this will take place on the same day as the official global evaluation date of the second chance.

Final grade calculation 

The final markwill be calculated taking into account the following:

• In the sum of the qualifications of the exams of development questions 1 and 2 is less than 4 out of 10, the final qualification will be the result of the sum of these two exams.
• In the sum of the qualifications of the development questions exams 1 and 2 is equal to or greater than 4 out of 10, the final qualification will be the result of the sum of the qualifications obtained in the development questions exams 1 and 2, self-assessment and exam of objective questions.

GLOBAL EVALUATION

In case of express resignation to the continuous evaluation, the students will be evaluated by means of an examination of development questions and objective questions that will be 100% of the qualification of the subject. Given the length of the exam, students who take the global evaluation must have 3 hours to complete them from the official start time of the subject exam according to the official calendar.

The dates and times of the global assessment tests (first and second chance) are those specified in the assessment test calendar approved by the Faculty Board for the 2023/24 academic year.

In case of conflict or disparity between exam dates, those published on the Faculty website http://webfdxp.webs.uvigo.es/gl/docencia/exames/ will prevail.

SERVICE LEARNING

This subject is part of the Service Learning promotion plan at the University of Vigo promoted by the Vice-responsibility of Social Responsibility, Internationalization and Cooperation.

The Service Learning (ApS) activity is voluntary. Only 3 students or students can do it. In the event that there are more applications than places, it will be chosen by file. The form and deadlines to adhere to the plan will be indicated on the Moovi platform by the teacher.

The ApS involves the development of a series of activities by the group, guided at all times by the teacher. The student body will be able to obtain up to a maximum of 1 points and will be exempt from carrying out part of the tests of objective questions. Adherence to this plan implies waiving the qualification of these exempt activities.

DEBATE

During the course, students will be asked to hold a debate on a topical topic. In it, the students must work autonomously on this topic and present their ideas and arguments.

The activity is voluntary but assessable (maximum 0.5 points). Those students who decide to participate will be added to the grade obtained to the final grade for the subject, taking into account the circumstances explained in the "Final grade calculation".

NOT PRESENTED

Students who do not participate in the continuous evaluation or the global evaluation will appear in the minutes as "not presented".

NEXT COURSES

If the subject is not passed in the 2023-24 academic year, the student must take it again, adapting to the teaching guide that is in force for the academic year in question and, therefore, will not retain any of the grades obtained in the present course.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The information on the evaluation exams, their format, length, evaluation rubric and delivery channels will be detailed through the Moovi platform. It is the responsibility of the student or student to be attentive to the information uploaded and collect the specific and complementary information that is necessary to pass the subject.

Students are recommended to take into account Title VII (On the use of illegal means), of the Regulations on the Evaluation, qualification and quality of teaching and the student learning process:
