Other comments on the Evaluation

The students can choose the Assesment method, continuous or global.

Continuous Assesment (CA) 

It will consist of:

  • Two intermediate one-hour multiple-choice tests  (C1 and C2) will be carried out to check the progress of the subject. Each control test has a 20% weight in the Final Grade (FG). The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the Comisión Académica de Máster (CAM) and will be available at the beginning of each academic semester
  • The participation in the online activities in virtual environment, that represent 15% of the Final Grade (FG). During the course, with a roughly weekly periodicity, different tasks, activities, exercises, self-assessment tests will be proposed in the virtual classroom. These activities must be realized by all students in an autonomous, individual way. The realization of these activities allows students to obtain "merit points" (MP) up to a maximum of 200 points (in case of all activities are evaluated with the maximum grade). The grade of this section will be equal to the amount of MP divided by 100. In order to facilitate the achievement of the maximum amount of points, additional optional tasks will be proposed throughout the course.
  • The virtual classroom includes a gamification system based in other types of points and several gamification elements and mechanisms to motivate students to make the activities and participate in a meaningful way in forums of doubts and discussions. This system allows students get rewards to be used in exams.
  • A final exam (FE) covering all contents, with a weight of 40% of the Final Grade (FG). A minimum qualification of 4 points on 10 is required

FG-CA = 0.2x(C1 + C2) + MP/100 + 0,4xFE if FE >= 4

If FE < 4, the Final Mark will be equal to min{4.9, FG-CA} where FG-CA would be the final mark of the continuous assessment evaluation calculated before

It is considered that a student chooses CA when presenting to any midterm control test (C1 or C2). If any of these control tests are not made, the grade will be "0". These control tests will be not recoverable.

Gobal Assesment (GA) 

It will only consist of the same FE at the end of the term.

Students who do not take any midterm exam, compulsorily opt for the Global Assesment.

Extraordinary call

A new final exam (FE) will be done in the official dates only for students not passing in the ordinary call.

Those students who have failed in the first call by going through Continuous Assesment and wish to renounce it in order to choose the Gobal Assessment, will have to request it in writing to the coordinator before the review date of the first final exam. In this case, any reward obtained by the CA activities carried out in the virtual classroom is also waived.

Other comments

All students taking any final exam are considered to be presented to the subject. The grades for all exams, partial or final, and activities will affect only the actual academic year.

The virtual classroom platform has tools to detect possible anomalous and dishonest behaviors in self-assessment tests (tests carried out among several people, previously known answers, etc.), as well as to detect plagiarism in written works or in software programs.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any works/test/exams, including the activities on the virtual platform, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.

In case of any contradiction that may occur between the different versions of the guide, due to some error in the translation, the version that will prevail is the Galician language version.
