Other comments on the Evaluation

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



In all the evaluation tests, the competences CG3, CE1
and CE3 will be evaluated.



1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT. 




  • The system of continuous assessment (EC) will
    consist of: 


    • a) A problem solving test. The qualification
      will be  ECa, with maximum score of 1 points. 

    • 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 test. The qualification
      will be  ECc, with maximum score of 1 poins. 
    • d) A problem solving session
      on topics 4 to 7. The score will be ECd, and the subtotal EC2 = ECc + ECd can
      have a maximum value of 5 points. This last test will coincide in the
      calendar and schedule with the official exam date in the first opportunity
      evaluation.
  • The final score of the first
    opportunity for students who follow continuous assessment (CE) is obtained by
    adding the two previous subtotals: EC = EC1 + EC2.

  • 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 "b" test for continuous
    assessment.







2. UNIQUE END-OF-TERM EVALUATION.




  • It will be mandatory for students who do not
    follow continuous assessment to be able to pass the subject at first
    opportunity.

  • It will consist of a problem solving session on
    topics 1 to 7. The score will be EF.



3. SECOND OPPORTUNITY EVALUATION.





  • Students who followed the
    continuous assessment:


    • The second oportunity exam will be divided into
      two parts: EX1 (items 1 to 3) with a maximum value of 5 points, and EX2
      (items 4 to 7) 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 parties. 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 7).
    The score will be EF.




4. EXTRAORDINARY END OF CAREER CALL



  • It will have the same format
    as the unique end-of-term evaluation.


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.

  • In case of detection of plagiarism in any of the
    tests, the final grade will be SUSPENSE (0) and the fact will be
    communicated to the Center Head for the appropriate purposes.
