ORDINARY CALL: CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

The method of continuous assessment (CA) will assess the results achieved by students in different activities carried out throughout the course, grouped into four parts: Final Exam (FE), Theoretical-Practical Controls (TPA), Laboratory Practices (LP), and Quizzes and Tests (QT). The weights for each part will be: FE 40%, TPA 30%, LP 20%, and QT 10%.

Two assessments of theoretical-practical knowledge (TP1 and TP2) will be conducted during the course. Each of them will account for 15% of the final continuous assessment grade. These assessments will be interspersed with theory sessions. The TPA grade will be the arithmetic mean of TP1 and TP2.

The student will be evaluated for each laboratory practice completed (LP1 to LP7). This evaluation will be done through practice reports or questionnaires related to them. It could happen that, to evaluate a single practice, both a report and a questionnaire are required simultaneously. The submission of reports and completion of questionnaires will be done electronically through the MOOVI platform. Additionally, during seminar and/or theory class hours, the student will be asked to complete different Quizzes and Tests (QT).

The final continuous assessment exam (FE) will include all the content of the subject and will carry a weight of 40% in the final continuous assessment grade.

The continuous assessment grade (CAG) will be the result of applying the weighted arithmetic mean of the grade for each part (FE, TPA, LP, and QT), as reflected in the following equation:

CAG = 0.4 * FE + 0.3 * TPA + 0.2 * LP + 0.1 * QT

To pass the continuous assessment, two conditions must be met: having a CAG ≥ 5 and an FE ≥ 4. If the latter condition is not met, the LP grade will be ignored, resulting in a failing grade for the continuous assessment of the subject, with a score equal to the minimum of 4.0 and the weighted average of FE and TPA.

ORDINARY CALL: ORDINARY EXAM

Those students who fail to pass the subject through continuous assessment must take the ordinary exam, which will evaluate all the competencies of the subject. The results of this exam will constitute 100% of the student's final grade, and obtaining a grade greater than or equal to 5 is a requirement to pass the subject. Finally, it is worth noting that every student has the option to improve their CAG. In other words, students who have passed the subject through continuous assessment will have the opportunity to take the ordinary exam to improve their grade.

EXTRAORDINARY CALL

Students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary call will take an extraordinary exam that will have the same format and requirements as the ordinary exam.

ACADEMIC INTREGITY

Students are expected to show adequate ethical behaviour, committing to act honestly. Based on article 42.1 of the Regulation on the evaluation, qualification and quality of teaching and the student learning process of the University of Vigo, as well as point 6 of the fifth rule of Order DEF/711/2022, of July 18th, which establishes the requirements for evaluation, progress, and ongoing enrolment in military educational training centres for incorporation into the ranks of the Armed Forces, any violation of academic integrity in the assessment process, as well as the cooperation in it will result in the assignment of a failing grade to the student (zero) for the entire course in the corresponding assessment opportunity, regardless of the percentage of importance that the test in question had in the overall continuous assessment and independently of other disciplinary actions that may be applied.
