Other comments on the Evaluation
1. FIRST ASSESSMENT TURN: In the first assessment turn, the evaluation will follow the above indications. The two tests (partial and final written tests) will take place during the teaching period. The partial test will take place during the seventh week of the semestre and the final test will be organised during the last week of the semestre, just before Christmas. These dates will be published on the platform. Submitting during the semestre all the required assignments and exercises is obligatory. Those assignments that are not linguistically correct because they contain too many grammatical mistakes/errors will count as zero points. Full or partial plagiarism in any type of submission will also imply zero points. The minimum score required in the parrtial and final tests will be of 5 points out of 10 points. Lack of knowledge of what plagiarism is will not be accepted in this respect. If a student does not wish to follow this assessment system, s/he will simply inform the professors during the first two weeks of the semestre . In this case, the student will be assessed by means of only a final test, based on the contents expressed in this syllabus, which combine theoretical questions and practical exercises; the score of this final test will be computed as 100% of the final score. This test will take place on the date agreed by professors and students, and it will be published on the platform. Opting for this option is compatible with attending classes. 2. SECOND ASSESSMENT TURN. In the second assessment turn (July), evaluation will be carried out by means of a final test , based on the contents of this syllabus, which combine theoretical questions and practical exercises. The score of this test will constitute the final grade. This examination will take place on the official date in July, approved by the Faculty.
