Other comments on the Evaluation

Following the policy guidelines of the Center, the students can choose between two systems of evaluation: continuous evaluationand evaluation at the end of the term.

In all the evaluation tests, the competences B3, C1, C3 and D3 will be evaluated.

1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT.

  • The system of continuous assessment (EC) will consist of:
    • a) A problem solving deliverables or worked in practical classes. The qualification will be ECa, with maximum score of 1.5 points. It will be necessary to reach 40% of the maximum for this test to have an impact on the final grade.
    • b) A problem solving session on topics 1, 2 and 3. The score will be ECb, and the subtotal EC1 = ECa + ECb can have a maximum value of 5 points.
    • c) A problem solving deliverables or worked in practical classes. The qualification will be ECc, with maximum score of 1.5 poins. It will be necessary to reach 40% of the maximum for this test to have an impact on the final grade.
    • d) A problem solving sessionon topics 4, 5 and 6. The score will be ECd, and the subtotal EC2 = ECc + ECd can have a maximum value of 5 points.
  • The final score of the ordinary exam for students who follow continuous assessment (CE) is obtained by adding the two previous subtotals: EC = EC1 + EC2, unless one of the two subtotals is less than 1.5 (30% of the maximum), in which case the final grade will be limited to a maximum of "Suspense (4.0)".
  • The planning of the different intermediate assessment tests will be approved by an Academic Committee of Degree (CAG) and will be available at the beginning of the semester.
  • Before the completion or delivery of each test, the date and procedure for reviewing the grades obtained will be indicated, which will be public within a reasonable period of time.
  • The continuous assessment tests are not recoverable, that is, if a student cannot meet them within the stipulated period, the teacher does not have to repeat them.
  • The qualification obtained in the continuous assessment tests (EC1 and EC2) will be valid only for the current academic year.
  • It will be understood that a student accepts this system if he/she presents to take the "ECb" test for continuous assessment.

2. EXAM-ONLY ASSESSMENT

  • It will be mandatory for students who do not follow continuous assessment to be able to pass the subject at the ordinary exam.
  • It will consist of a problem solving session on topics 1 to 6. The score will be EF, and will have the same requirement of achieving 30% of the maximum possible in each of the two parts corresponding to topics 1 to 3 (part 1) and 4 to 6 (part 2).

3. EXTRAORDINARY EXAM.

  • Students who followed the continuous assessment:
    • The extraordinary exam will be divided into two parts: EX1 (items 1 to 3) with a maximum value of 5 points, and EX2 (items 4 to 6) with a maximum value of 5 points.
    • The students who followed the continuous evaluation will choose if to do: only EX1, only EX2 or both parts. The final note will be: EF = max (EX1, EC1) + max (EX2, EC2).
  • Students who did not follow the continuous evaluation. It consists of a single evaluation with the same format as the first opportunity (a problem solving session on topics 1 to 6).The score will be EF, and will have the same requirement of achieving 30% of the maximum possible in each of the two parts corresponding to topics 1 to 3 (part 1) and 4 to 6 (part 2).

4. END OF PROGRAM EXAM

  • It will have the same format as the global assesment.

5. OBSERVATIONS.

  • Student who chose continuous assessment or takes any of the two final global exams of first or second opportunity are considered as presented.
  • It is considered that the subject is approved if the final grade is equal to or greater than 5 and in each part at least 30% of the maximum possible is reached. If any of the two subtotals is less than 30% of the maximum, the final grade will be limited to a maximum of "Suspenso (4.0)".
  • In case of detection of plagiarism in any of the tests, the final grade will be SUSPENSO (0) and the fact will be communicated to the Center Head for the appropriate purposes.
  • English Friendly subject: International students may request from the teachers: a) resources and bibliographic references in English, b) tutoring sessions in English, c) exams and assessments in English.
