Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Workshops	The workshops will be evaluated in a continuous and personalized way through the 3 practical photographic works that will have to be presented throughout the course. If the student chooses not to take the written test (final exam) these works will constitute 100% of the final grade. In case of taking the final exam, the student's final grade will be as follows: exam grade (40%) and average grade of the work (60%).	60
Lecturing	The test will be voluntary and will constitute 40% of the mark if it is done. It will consist of short questions related to the contents seen in class. The questions dedicated to the assimilation of photographic practice (diaphragm and speed scale) will have special relevance. In the case of taking this test, its value will be 40 percent of the final mark since the other 60% would correspond to the average mark of the practical work.	40
Problem and/or exercise solving	This test will serve to determine the initial level of the students in aspects related to photography, so it will be carried out at the beginning of the course and will not have an impact on the final grade.	0

Other comments on the Evaluation
The evaluation systems will be divided into two modalities: continuous evaluation methodologies and global evaluation methodologies CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT Continuous assessment is the usual assessment methodology and will be used by default to grade students. Students who opt for this modality must regularly attend the classes of the subject, understanding as such an attendance of not less than 75% of the theoretical and practical classes. In this evaluation option, students will carry out 3 practical assignments throughout the course that will account for 100% of the final grade for the subject. Each of the works will correspond to 33.33% of the final grade for the subject. Given that this evaluation is of a continuous type, the fact of not submitting a work would suppose a NOT PRESENTED in the final grade of the subject. Since students are entitled to a written test, there is the voluntary possibility of taking a final exam on the dates established by the dean at the beginning of the course. If you take this test, the exam grade will account for 40% of the final grade, while the assignment grades will account for 60% of the final grade. For the following calls, it will also be necessary to hand in the practical work, taking as a reference the work assigned in the academic year in which the exam is taken. Likewise, the percentages for the final grade are the same, that is, practical work (60%) and written exam (40%). OVERALL EVALUATION The default assessment system at the University of Vigo is the continuous assessment system. Those students who opt for the global evaluation system must follow the following guidelines. The student must notify the teaching staff of their express resignation from the continuous assessment system within the period established by the center for this purpose (one month), providing the required document completed and signed to the teacher. Guidelines on the day of the evaluation: The global evaluation test will be carried out on the date and time established by the center in the official exam calendar. The student must pass each and every one of the assessment tests provided below, obtaining a minimum grade of 5 points in each of them. Given the duration of the tests, students who take the overall assessment must have 5 hours (break not included) to take them from the official start time of the subject exam according to the official calendar. The student must pass each and every one of the following evaluation tests that are detailed below with a minimum grade of 5. Brief description and percentage of evaluation of the tests: TEST 1: Exam. Students taking the comprehensive assessment will take the same exam with objective questions as the voluntary exam for students taking the continuous assessment. Same day, same hours, same guidelines. The exam, in all its parts, has a weight of 40% of the total mark. A minimum score of 5 is required to pass this part. With less than 5, no average is obtained, even if the rest of the tests are passed. TEST 2. On the day of the official exam, the 3 works proposed by the teachers must be handed in. The set of proposed works has a weight of 30% of the total mark. It will be necessary to obtain a minimum average mark of 5 of the works to pass this part. The works must be delivered to the teacher by means of a Pendrive or any other procedure before taking the exam, so in order to take the exam it is essential that the teacher receive the 3 practices from the student in advance. TEST 3. Once the exam is finished, and after the breaks between tests that are established by law, the student will preferably attend the classroom where the practical classes have been given, accompanied by the subject teacher, although this test can also be taken at any another space, both inside and outside the faculty. The student must take a practical test that will consist of taking the type of photographs that were taken in the practical classes of the continuous evaluation, where the solvency of the student will be seen in relation to the photographic technique: focus, exposure control, depth of field . , composition, etc.) The test will have a maximum duration of 30 minutes from the start. The detail of the tasks to be carried out, the deadlines and the evaluation criteria will be explained to the student in the classroom. This test, as a whole, has a weight of 30% of the total mark. With less than 5, no average is obtained, even if the rest of the tests are passed. Summary of the tests and percentage of overall evaluation of the set of tasks that this test entails: • Test 1 (P1): Exam. Evaluation of 40% of the total mark. • Test 2 (P2): Delivery of practical work. Evaluation of 30% of the total grade. • Test 3 (P3): Practice in the classroom. Evaluation of 30% of the total grade. P1(40%) + P2(30%) + P3(30%) = 100% of the mark It is established once again that, in order to pass the subject, it is essential to pass all the tests (1, 2 and 3) in due time and form. With a grade lower than 5, no average will be taken from any of the tests, even if the rest of the tests are passed. Therefore, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 5 in all the tests in order to pass the subject. Other aspects to take into account The materials for the study of the subject will be those uploaded to Moovi and the notes of the sessions taught in the classroom, both in theoretical and practical sessions. It is the responsibility of the student to know the information uploaded to Moovi and collect the notes and documentation not uploaded to Moovi that are subject to examination and/or explanations of the different assessment tests. The teaching guide establishes the general focus of the subject but there could be more specific details about the general evaluation system that would be managed through the Moovi platform. For everything not contemplated and/or expressly detailed in this guide, the indications of the Regulations for evaluation, qualification and teaching quality and the student learning process will be taken as a reference (Approved by the faculty on April 18, 2023).
