Other comments on the Evaluation

The second call assessment system is the same as the first call assessment system, maintaining the grades obtained for research-based methodologies, problem solving and/or exercises and practicals.

Assessment dates:

The exam calendar officially approved by the Xunta de Centro is published on the website:

http://aero.uvigo.es/gl/docencia/exames

The laboratory practicals must have been completed in order to be able to sit the second call exam.

Students who are unable to attend classes must inform the teacher. In this case, the exam will count for 90% of the mark and the practicals for 10%.

In summary:

Out of the 100% of the mark of the subject we have:

- Exam: up to 40%. It is necessary to get a 5 out of 10 in the exam to pass the subject.

- Self-assessment test: up to 10%.

- Laboratory practicals: up to 15%. It is compulsory to pass the internship in order to pass the subject. 

- Research work: up to 15%.

-Evaluation test of problems and/or exercises: up to 20%.

Assessment for students who do not opt for continuous assessment.

- Examination/exams: up to 85%, a minimum of 5 out of 10 must be obtained to pass the course.

- Laboratory practicals: up to 15%. It is compulsory to pass the internship in order to pass the subject. 

VERY IMPORTANT:

In order to add up all the percentages, the student must get at least 5 out of 10 in the exam grade. In the case of not getting a 5 in the exam, the grade that will appear in the minutes will be the exam grade.  The duration of the final exam will be approximately 2.5 hours.

In the event that the student obtains 50% or more of the mark in the evaluation test of problem solving and/or exercises, he/she will have to obtain at least a 4 out of 10 in the exam mark to be able to add up all the percentages. In the case of not achieving a 4 in the exam, the mark that will appear in the minutes will be the exam mark.

Students who fail at the first call and do not attend class may sit the second call exam covering all the content of the subject, provided that they have completed the laboratory practicals.

In special cases in which, for justified and previously notified reasons, students cannot attend the practicals or take part in the continuous assessment 100% of the mark will correspond to a final exam in which all the competences of the subject will be evaluated.

Final exam: students who choose to take the final exam will be assessed only with the exam (which will be worth 100% of the mark). If they do not attend the exam, or do not pass it, they will be assessed in the same way as the rest of the students".

If plagiarism is detected in any of the tests, the final grade will be SUSPENSED (0) and the fact will be communicated to the management of the Centre for the appropriate effects.

Exam-only assessmentThe student has the right to opt for the exam-only assessment according to the procedure and the deadline established by the centre for each call.
