CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
In order to be qualiffied following the continuous assessment proccess,
the student will have to attend at least to the 80% of the programmed
activities. The continuous assessment will be based in the evaluation of practical task, projects and two tests. Once a student has signed a document of agreement with the process of continuous assessment, the final degree will be obtained by a weighted average of the grades obteined in the methodologies/tests described.
Some considerations on the continous assessment process:
- Tutored works are developed in groups. The final grade will be weighted
taking into account the results of a cross assesment survey. To
consider as "satiscactory" the contribution of each student to the group
a minimum grade of 2 over 5 points is stablished. - The studenst have to show good skills in all the learning outcomes,
therefore, four points over a ten points scale must be obtained in all
the learning outcomes evaluated during the continuous evaluation
process. - The final grade will be obtained through a weighted average, with the weights included in the qualification column of the methodologies/tests section, once the minimum grade is obtained in each activity. If the 4 over 10 condition in all the activities is not fullfilled, the final grade resulting form the continuous assesment process will be 4 over 10 points.
Final examination: The final examination, both in first or second chance (may/june or july), will include two parts:
- A written examination covering a short anwer tests and a troubleshouting part.
- Practical activities: practical questions and delivering the reports of practical works the teacher may ask.
- The final examination will be develpoped on the official dates published by the accademic staff.
Those students who have passed the subject following the continuous assessment proccess, will have the chance to attend the final examination in order to get a higher grade (either in the written part or the practical activities or both).
Those students who did not succeed in some of the parts of the evaluation proccess, will have the chance to do only the part of the final examination required to fullfill the requirement.
If the subject is passed in first chance, there is no chance to attend the second opportunity to improve the final grade.
The subject is assessed in a 0 to 10 points scale and it is considered "passed" if the final grade obtained is equal or greater than 5.
NON CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
If a student does not sign the agreement to follow the continous assesment proccess, he/she will be evaluated through the final examination, with the same structure as commented before. The student have to show he/she has got the same skills as the students who have followed the continuous assessment proccess. The final grade will be obtained by averaging the grades of each part (written examination+ practical questions and reports) provided at least of 4 over 10 points have been obtained en each part. The final grade should be greater than 5 over 10 points.
EXTRAORDINARY CALL:
The same criteria as the established in case of non continuous assessment will be followed for the extraordinary call.
