Other comments on the Evaluation

1. CONTINIOUS EVALUATION*

Attendance to class, seminars and practical classes is not mandatory, but attendance at the complete activity of presentation of the practical work (poster session)(date to be set during the first week of class and that will be published in moovi)

First ordinary call

To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a score greater than 4 out of 10 in each of the two theory exams of the subject (05/12/2023 and 24/01/2024) and that the average grade of both exceeds 5 out of 10. The average mark of these exams will mean 65% of the final mark. The practical work will represent 20% of the final mark (10% of the group evaluation of the poster and 10% of the individual evaluation of the presentation of the poster). The activities to be presented after the seminars will account for 15% of the final grade. The evaluation of the deliverables of the seminars requires that all of them are delivered in a timely manner (the non-delivery of any of them will mean that the rest are not evaluated). Carrying out the self-evaluation activities proposed throughout the course through moovi will mean 1 extra point to be added to the final grade. To obtain this point, all activities must be completed in a timely manner.

Second ordinary call

To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a score greater than 5 out of 10 in the second call exam (09/07/2024). The mark of this exam will mean 65% of the final grade. The practical work will represent 20% of the final mark (10% of the group evaluation of the poster and 10% of the individual evaluation of the presentation of the same). The activities to be presented after the seminars will account for 15% of the final grade. The evaluation of the deliverables of the seminars requires that all of them be delivered in a timely manner (the non-delivery of any of them will mean that the rest are not evaluated). Carrying out the self-evaluation activities does not imply extra points in this call.

2. GLOBAL EVALUATION*

Attendance to any class or activity is not mandatory.

The preferred evaluation modality is Continuous Evaluation. Those students who choose the Global Evaluation (100% of the grade in the official exam, 1st call: 24/01/2024, 2nd call: 09/07/2024) must notify the person responsible for the subject, by email or through of the Moovi platform, within a period not exceeding one month from the beginning of the teaching of the subject. Carrying out the self-evaluation activities does not entail extra points in this type of evaluation.

3. END-OF-DEGREE CALL*

Attendance to any class or activity is not mandatory.

The student who chooses to take the exam in the end-of-degree call (official exam 25/09/2023) will be evaluated only with the exam (which will be worth 100% of the grade). If the student does not attend said exam, or fails to pass it, the student will be evaluated in the same way as the rest of the students. Carrying out the self-evaluation activities does not imply extra points in this call.
