Other comments on the Evaluation
The students can chose any of the following assessment systems: 1.- The continuous assessment tests allow students to obtain a final grade based solely on their path along the course, and consist of: 1.1. Short-answer tests that will take place at the end or the beginning of designated lectures, totaling 30% of the final grade. 1.2. Short-answer tests in the seminars, which account for 20%. 1.3. Practical proofs for the evaluation of supervised work (25%) and the presentation of them (25%). Continuous assessment tasks are not recoverable, and they are only valid for the current year. A student is assumed to have opted for continuous assessment when he/she has been made one of the long-answer tests and has participated in two debate activities. A student who chooses to continuous assessment is deemed to have been presented to the subject, whether they are present or not to the final exam. If a student, having submitted to continuous assessment, chooses the final exam, the final grade for the course will be the average of the two. 2.- Global assessment exam. Under the regulations of the University of Vigo, the student who wishes may choose 100% of the final grade by a single final exam. The global assessment exam is one that is done in the official dates marked on School Board in the months of December or January in ordinary call (or July in the case of extraordinary call), and it is mandatory to attend to those students who have not opted for continuous assessment and want to pass the subject. The final exam will consist of a development test, as described in the evaluation section. All material given in the lectures, lab classes and project presentations is subject to questioning. The extraordinary call exam will have a similar structure to the final exam. Ethical code Final exams and quizzes must be worked out on everyone’s own. Any infraction will beconsidered a serious breach of ethics and reported to the academic authorities. Lecturers may decide to fail a student if he has committed a serious ethical breach.
