CONTINUOUS AND OVERALL EVALUATION In principle, it is understood that all students follow continuous evaluation, which is committed to through participation in assessment activities. Any individual who wishes to take a single test on the official date (overall evaluation) must communicate this according to the regulations within the first month of the course. The overall evaluation will consist of a comprehensive final test that can measure all competencies; therefore, the test will be different from the continuous evaluation students. The final grade for students in continuous evaluation will be the average of the grades obtained in the activities carried out in Small Groups (60% of the final grade) and the final exam. To calculate the average grade, it is mandatory to achieve a minimum score of 4 points in the Small Group activities and the exam. If a score below 4 points is obtained in any of these components, the final grade will be a fail with the corresponding numeric grade once the average between both parts is obtained, except if it is above 5, in which case a score of 4.9 will be awarded. Students who do not take the exam will be marked as Absent, even if they have submitted continuous evaluation activities. Regarding the activities carried out in Small Groups, the weighting is distributed as follows: Portofolio/Dossier (20%): Attendance, participation, and brief tests carried out in the classroom will be taken into account and Library work, Case study (20%): It consists of a written assignment weighted at 15% and an oral presentation weighted at 5%. Supervised project (20%): It includes an individual analysis component weighted at 10% and a group component weighted at another 10%. Attendance to classes, as well as attitude, willingness, and participation in them, will be positively taken into account for rounding up grades and honor consideration. EXTRAORDINARY SESSION During the same academic year, the grades obtained in the first (regular) session will be maintained for the second (extraordinary) session. It is possible to submit tests that were not completed or failed, except for those that were conducted in the classroom and cannot recover the score related to participation and attendance. |
