Ethical commitment:

Students are expected to behave ethically. If unethical behaviour is detected (copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices and others), then it will be considered that the student does not meet the minimum requirements to pass thecourse. In this case, the final grade for the current academic year will befailed (0.0).

In addition to the ethical commitment, the following is underlined:

In the first place, a person registered in the course is by default subject to the continuous assessment system; if the student does not want to be in this system, the he/she must expressly renounce to it within the established deadlines.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE

In the current academic year, continuous assessment will gather all learning evidence from the enrolled student and will be structured into three evaluations. These three assessments will preferably take place in computer labs; however, due to teaching organization needs, they may also be conducted in classrooms in handwritten format.

By default, students are enrolled in the continuous assessment system. To opt out, they must formally request to withdraw from it. If a student does not opt out, any missed assessments will be graded with a zero.

First Call (May/June):

To pass the course through continuous assessment, the following condition must be met:

( Test 1 * 0.3 + Test 2 * 0.4 + Test 3 * 0.3 ) ≥ 5

Therefore, a student is considered to have passed if they obtain a score of five or higher.

The assessments may consist of exams and/or assignments, meaning that a portion of the grade may be based on submitted work and its evaluation.

Once the first assessment (Test 1) has been completed, the student may request to withdraw from the continuous assessment system (within the timeframe and through the means established by the course instructor). In this case, the student will follow the non-continuous assessment procedure.

Second Call (June/July):

If a student does not achieve a passing grade in the first call (May/June), they must take an exam covering 100% of the course content (10 points).

NON-CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE

This consists of an exam that allows students to obtain 100% of the final grade. The exam may be divided into sections with minimum score requirements.

First Call (May/June):

Students who have formally opted out of the continuous assessment system may take the exam scheduled for May/June (on the date and time set by the School Administration). This exam allows them to obtain 100% of the final grade. Students who failed the continuous assessment are not eligible to take this exam.

Second Call (June/July):

An exam will be offered to assess 100% of the course content for those who did not achieve the minimum passing grade in the first call.
