Other comments on the Evaluation

-CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:

In the continuous evaluation, students will take a partial evaluation once half of the theoretical contents have been completed and anotherpartial evaluation in the ordinaryexam.

1- Written tests (theoretical): 35%.

Contents: Physical basis of biomechanics and kinesiological analysisof movement. Biomechanics of organic tissues.Examination of objective questions: 17,5 %.

Developmental questions exam: 17.5%.

2- Written tests (theoretical):35 %.

Contents: articular and muscular biomechanics of the trunk,upper extremity and lower extremity. Examination of objectivequestions: 17.5%.

Developmental questionsexam: 17.5%.

Total theoretical evaluations (part 1 + part 2): 70%. Work and

oral test: 15%.

Laboratory practices: 15%.

-GLOBAL ASSESSMENT (waiver of continuous assessment):

In this case, no partialevaluations will be carried out,so in the ordinary call the studentswill be evaluatedas follows:

Theoretical evaluations: 70% (35% exam of objective questions and 35% exam of development questions). Both exams (objective questions and developmental questions) must be passed independently.

Work and oral test: 15% Laboratory practice: 15% Laboratory practice: 15% Laboratory practice:

15% Laboratory practice: 15% Laboratory practice: 15% Laboratorypractice: 15% Laboratory practice:

15% Laboratory practice:15%

Students who do not wish to followthe continuous evaluation must notifyin writing following the procedureestablished by the Faculty of Physiotherapy. The waiver to the continuousevaluation must be made in the 5th weekof teaching, which means that the student will assume the global evaluationestablished in the subject. Once the continuous evaluation has been waived,the student will not be entitled to it, nor to the considerations established therein.

- EXTRAORDINARY EVALUATION - RECOVERY:

Students who have waived the continuous evaluation and adhere to the global evaluation will have the same evaluation percentages as in the ordinarycall in global evaluation mode.

Studentswho in continuous evaluation have passedone of the partial exams (partial 1or partial 2) in extraordinary evaluation will only have to take the examof the partial not passed. In order to pass the subject it will be necessary topass the exam of objective questionsand the exam of development questions independently. Therefore, all therequirements of ordinary evaluationin continuous mode must be fulfilled. In case of not passing any of the writtenexams (exam of objective questions or developmental exam) the subject will be failed and there will be no average between evaluations, nor between partialexams.

Studentswho have failed the two partial evaluations in continuous evaluation will have the same percentages and criteria in extraordinary evaluation as the students in global evaluation, as described below:

Theoretical evaluations: 70% (35% exam of objective questions and 35% exam of development questions). Both must be passed independently.

Description of the tests and requirements to pass the subject:

-The writtentests (in all evaluations) will consist of two examinations: an exam of objective questions and an exam of developmental questions; both will take place in the same evaluation session.

The written testsmay include multiple-choice exercises, true/false exercises, item matching exercises, sentence completion exercises, response exercises with a specificterm, resolution of clinical cases or interpretation of an image/graph, as well

as other activities that have been developed throughout the course.

Likewise, conceptsof different topics can be evaluated in the same statement to check the assimilation of contents by the students.

To pass the written tests (in all the evaluations) it is necessaryto achieve a minimum of 5 out of 10 in each of the parts (to achieve a 5 out of 10 in the exam of objective questionsand to achieve a 5 out of 10 in the exam of developmental questions).

Inall evaluations in the examination of objective questions there will be apenalty for wrong answers: each wrong answersubtracts half the value of a correct answer, so that two wrong answers penalize the valueof a correct answer.

In the case of not reaching5 out of 10 in the exam of objectivequestions, the grade of the corresponding writtentest will be theone obtained in this part. If the objective part is passed and the objectiveexam is not passed, the grade of the corresponding writtenexam will be the one obtained in this part.

developmental questions the grade of the writtentest will be of the latter part.

In order to pass the course in ordinary exams, the twopartial exams must be passedindependently. In addition, work mustbe done and its corresponding defense/oral exam. Attendance to the practice ismandatory (in case of not attending 50%of the practices and/or not handing in the corresponding material, the subjectwill not be passed). So, if the first partial exam is passed, but the second partial exam is not passed, the student must take the corresponding partial exam in the extraordinary evaluation.

In case of not passing the first partial examination (grade equal toor higher than 5 out of 10 in each of the exams: exam of objective questions and exam of development questions) thestudent must take the exam of all the thematic blocks in the ordinary exam. In this case, the sameevaluation criteria are followed as in the partial examinations with the sameevaluation percentages (therefore the exam would be formed by two exams ofobjective questions and two exams of developmental questions; all of them must be passedindependently).

-Thework and oral test will be only one. The grade obtained in this test willrepresent 15% of the final grade and its completion is mandatory. In addition, it is necessary to perform a correct development of the tutorials, especially delivery of therequested material on time. All students must be present during the oral testof the rest of the classmates, since the teacher may request a critical evaluation of the rest of the work. In case of not followingthe guidelines set by the teacher or notshowing up for the oral test, the student will not get a score in this sectionand will fail the course. In case of not signing up to form a workgroup, it will be considered that the student will nottake the oral test and the score in this section will be zero (0).

Summary of minimumrequirements to pass the coursein the regular exam (ALL requirements must be met):

Gradeequal to or higher than 5 (out of 10) in the theoretical tests, being mandatoryto pass each of the exams independently(reaching a 5 out of 10 in the exam of objectivequestions and reachinga 5 out of 10 in the exam of development questions). The partialevaluations must be passed independently.

The overallgrade must be equal to or higher than 5 (out of 10), considering the percentages that correspond to each evaluation system.

Evaluation dates:

The partial exam 1 will be held during theory teachinghours with a maximum duration of 1 hour on the date set out in the course schedule (once the thematic blocksthat are evaluated in this partial exam have been completed), in case of not passingthis partial exam, all the thematic blocks must be examined in the ordinaryexamination in June.

Thewritten tests of part 2 will take place on the dates indicated in the ordinaryJune exams. If the student passes part 1, he/she will be examined only on the corresponding thematic blocks (if he/she does not pass part 1, he/she will have to take the entirecourse).

The presentation of the oral work-test will take place during theory teaching hours on the day assignedin the course schedule.

Regardless of the average grade obtained in theevaluation tests, if the minimum requirements previously exposed are not met, the grade obtained will be SUSPENSED. The final grade of the students who have not passed one of the theoretical tests will be the grade obtained in the failedpart.

The failinggrade will never be higher than 4.5.

Therefore, it couldbe the case that a student obtainsin the global evaluation, takinginto account the percentages of the evaluation tests, a grade of 5 out of 10or higher; however, if the student has failed any written exam (exam ofobjective questions and exam of developmental questions) separately, the grade in the global evaluation will be a fail.

In all written examinations (partial, ordinary and ordinary exams),if the objective test is not passed, the grade that will appear inthe minutes will be the grade of said test (or the average of the objectivetests); no average will be taken with the rest of the evaluations (the grade will be directlythat of the objective tests).

Other considerations:

The evaluation systems described in this Teaching Guide are sensitive both to the evaluation of the competencies and to the contents of the course.

Therealization of the work is mandatory and its evaluation will be made throughthe practices/tutorials established in the programmingof the subject and in the presentation and defense of the same. All the workactivities requested by the teacher must be carried out, as well as the collaborative activity(failure to do so will result in the corresponding penalty).

The presenceof spelling mistakes in papers or written tests may leadto a failing grade.

The Teaching Guide will follow the "REGULAMENTO SOBRE A AVALIACIÓN, A CALIFICACIÓN E A CALIDADEDA DOCENCIA E DO PROCESO DE APRENDIZAXE DO ESTUDANTADO" (Aprobadono claustro do 18 de abril de 2023), as well as the specificadaptations for the Degree in Physiotherapy determined in Junta de Centro.
