Two different systems of evaluation will be offered to the students: continuous evaluation and evaluation at the end of the course. Students opting for continuous evaluation must take two intermediate tasks: a short exam around week 5 of the course (20% of the final mark) and a project involving the configuration of a basic IP PBX around week 13 of the course (20% of the final mark), together with a final written exam at the end of the course (60% of the final mark). Both intermediate tasks are not recoverable and will be only valid for the current course. Students can also opt for being evaluated by means of just a final written exam at the end of the course. The final mark of the subject will be, in this case, just the mark obtained in this exam. It will be considered that a student opts for continuous evaluation if he takes the short exam or the project proposed. The final exam can contain some additional questions for those students that have opted by the evaluation at the end of the course. If plagiarism is detected in any of the tasks proposed (exams or project), the involved students will be failed with a final mark of 0. Those students that have not passed the subject in first call will have to take an extra written exam in July. Those students that opted for continuous evaluation will be able to choose between evaluation by means of just the final exam or keep continuous evaluation, in which case they would keep the marks obtained in the intermediate tasks (short exam and project) and only would have to take the final exam as the last task. Students will indicate which of these two options choose at the final exam. |
