Other comments on the Evaluation

Continuous assessment: (default assessment system) involves ongoing evaluation throughout
the semester including different assessments, as indicated in the table above which also includes the score of each test in the final mark. A summary is
shown below:

  • 5% laboratory
    practice report submitted, attendance, and participation in practical
    classes. 

  • 10% Oral presentation of group
    work. 
  • 15% Written examination of the practical part. 

  • 30%*1st partial exam of theory content (It will
    take place in one of the theory sessions on a previously indicated
    date).
  • 40%*2nd partial exam. The knowledge acquired in
    the second part will be assessed, however, an overall understanding of the
    subject will be required. (it will take place on the date officially set
    by the EEI for the first attempt or edition). 
  • * Students who take the
    second attempt will keep the marks obtained in the first 3 assessments.
    The theoretical knowledge of the subject will be evaluated in a single
    exam (covering the syllabus evaluated in Partial Exams I and II) that will
    be assessed with 70% of the total grade. 

Global or comprehensive assessment, in the two
official attempts: Students who waive
continuous assessment, in accordance with the procedures and deadlines
established by the institution, will have the option to take a single written
exam covering all the content of the subject, both theoretical and practical,
on the official dates. This test will be graded with a weight of 100% towards
the final grade.

To pass the subject, according to the assessment system: 

  • Continuous
    assessment: The sum of scores from different tests must reach a
    minimum of 5 out of 10.        
  • Comprehensive evaluation:
    A minimum score of 5 out of 10 must be achieved.

 Extraordinary Call: will take place on the official date. A comprehensive assessment will be
performed by means of a single written exam covering all theoretical and
practical contents (100% of the final grade).

 Ethical Behavior: students are expected to behave in an ethical manner in all aspects of
their work, especially in accordance with the provisions of Articles 39, 40, 41
and 42 of the Regulation on the evaluation, grading and quality of teaching
and the learning process of students at the University of Vigo
, approved by
the University Senate on 18 April 2023).
