In those cases in where the student decides not to carry out the continuous evaluation tasks, the final score will be solely based on the exam with short questions of the subject. This applies as well to the second call. In case of collective reports, the respective contribution of each student must be clearly stated, and the final score will be personalized as a function of such contribution. An interview with the lecturer may be required in order to assess the individual contributions. Once the student turns in any of the deliverables, he/she will be considered to be following the continuous evaluation track. In any case, he/she can abandon the continuous evaluation in a month's time. Any student that chooses the continuous evaluation track will get a final score, regardless of he/she takes the final exam. Continuous evaluation tasks cannot be redone after their corresponding deadlines, and are only valid for the current year. The marks from the continuous assessment tests are kept for the extraordinary opportunity. In the end-of-studies call, the evaluation will consist solely of a written exam. |
