The
assessment system of the subject includes two modalities, from which students
may choose: continuous assessment and global assessment, according to article
19.2 of the Regulation on Assessment, Grading, and Quality of Teaching and
Learning Process of the University of Vigo (Approved by the University Assembly
on 18/04/2023, amended on 22/12/2023. Consolidated version) — hereinafter,
Assessment Regulation —.

The choice
of the global assessment corresponds to the student, who must communicate it
within the deadline and in the manner established by the center. This choice
implies renouncing the continuous assessment, both for tests already taken and
those pending (art. 19.4 of the Assessment Regulation).

CONTINUOUS
ASSESSMENT consists of carrying out tests and activities distributed throughout
the term. Operationally, it is divided into two parts: a theoretical part and a
practical part. The theoretical part will be assessed by means of two partial
tests conducted during the course, which will account for 40% of the final
grade. The practical part will include problem-solving methodologies and/or
exercises, as well as a practical exam, and will represent 60% of the grade.
The remaining 10% will correspond to systematic
observation, evaluated through small periodic activities during the teaching
period, aiming to ensure continuous student engagement with the subject. This
section also includes participation and organization of scientific events.

To pass the
subject through continuous assessment, it will be necessary to obtain at least
50% of the maximum grade in each of the parts, as well as to complete and
submit, on time and in the correct form, a minimum of 80% of the activities
included in the practical part. Additionally, students must participate in the
tests that the teaching staff deems essential. In case any of these
requirements are not met, article 32.2 of the Assessment Regulation will apply,
according to which the final grade must reflect as faithfully as possible the
student’s real performance, and passing the subject will not be possible.

As stated
in article 40.4 of the Assessment Regulation, teaching staff may require that
submitted work and materials include an explicit declaration of originality,
certifying that no improperly cited sources were used. Any improper use of
materials or breach of academic integrity principles will result in a grade of
zero, both in cases where substantial copying of others' work is presented as
one's own, and in cases where, even citing sources, the work consists merely of
a succession of external fragments without critical contribution or personal
elaboration. Likewise, the use of artificial intelligence tools must be
responsible, transparent, and aligned with the subject’s educational
objectives; their use must be expressly declared and can never substitute
autonomous and reflective student work.

With the
aim of addressing student diversity and facilitating learning in different
contexts, particularly for students with recognized semi-presential modality,
the subject may also be followed through the MooVi tele-teaching platform,
where sufficient resources and teaching materials will be made available for
acquiring competencies and passing the subject. These materials do not
necessarily reproduce the content of face-to-face sessions literally. The
teaching materials provided through the MooVi platform are intended to support
the student’s learning process and must be used exclusively for that purpose.
Their use must respect copyright and the usage conditions established by the
teaching staff. Reproduction, distribution, or public communication, in whole
or in part, outside the strictly academic environment, is not permitted.

Through the
same platform, teaching methodologies, assessment activities, and the
corresponding calendar will be specified, both for in-person and remote
submissions. Individualized monitoring of student activity will be carried out
using the tools available in MooVi, such as participation records, access
statistics, and completion of online tests or exercises. Regarding transversal
activities, such as scientific events organized by the Area, Department, or
Faculty, for students enrolled in the semi-presential modality, those requiring
physical attendance may be replaced by others that allow maintaining the same
percentage in the final grade.

GLOBAL
ASSESSMENT will consist of a theoretical test, accounting for 40% of the final
grade and covering all theoretical content taught during the course, and a
practical test, worth 60%, focused on the aspects worked on in practical
activities, including exercises carried out by students. To pass the subject,
it will be necessary to obtain at least 50% of the maximum grade in each of
these two tests.

According
to article 21.2 of the Assessment Regulation, these tests will be held
exclusively on the official dates set for each assessment opportunity, within
the exam period established in the academic calendar. This calendar, which will
include dates, times, and locations for the tests, will be approved by the
School Board and published before the start of the enrolment period, in
accordance with article 25.1 of the aforementioned regulation.
