Problem solving These are two continuous assessment tests that will be carried out throughout the course. They will consist of written exercises/problem solving tests. Each one will have a weight of 12.5% of the total grade. Consult detailed methodology in the section "other comments on the evaluation".

Other comments on the Evaluation

The student will be able to freely choose
the evaluation methodology (Global or Continuous) within the established
deadline and procedure set by the school, and in any case in accordance with
current regulations.

The problem of students choosing one
evaluation methodology or another, according to the maximum weights
established, is most dramatically manifested in the case of two students who
take the final exam/retest and obtain exactly the same grade (for example,
6/10); one passes because he has chosen the global evaluation, while the other
fails because of selecting the continuous evaluation and only obtained a 4.2
out of 10 in the average of the continuous evaluation tests.

To mitigate this contradiction in the
regulations in the case of continuous assessment mode, two grades will be
calculated for each student, and the higher of the two will be selected.

Continuous Evaluation Mode

In the calculation of the final grade, four
evaluation blocks will be considered with the following weights:

·        
First partial test of
continuous evaluation, weight: 25%. Test consisting of theoretical/practical
questions, including problem-solving and/or a topic to develop. It may include
multiple-choice questionnaires.

·        
Second partial test of
continuous evaluation, weight: 25%. Test consisting of theoretical/practical
questions, including problem-solving and/or a topic to develop. It may include
multiple-choice questionnaires.

·        
Final test of continuous
evaluation (retest), weight: 40%. Test consisting of theoretical/practical
questions, including problem-solving and/or a topic to develop. It may include
multiple-choice questionnaires.

·        
Practical work, weight: 10%.
Submission of a report/questionnaire and/or oral examination of at least two
experimental/IT practices to be carried out throughout the course.

 

In the spirit of the above paragraph, the
final course grade will be assigned to all students using the following
formula:

Final Grade = max {0.6 NC + 0.4 NF , NF +
(1/20)NC(10 - NF)}

where NC is the weighted average of the two
continuous evaluation tests and practical (in the range of 0 to 10) and NF is
the grade of the final exam (retest) (also out of 10).

Global Evaluation Mode

A final exam will be held on the official
date approved by the school, with a maximum score of 100%.

Second opportunity call

In the second opportunity call
(extraordinary in July), the same methodology as in the first opportunity will
apply, with a new final evaluation test for students who choose continuous
evaluation and a new final exam for those following the global evaluation. In
the continuous evaluation mode, therefore, the grades of the partial tests and
practical work are retained.
