Other comments on the Evaluation

Two
evaluation systems are established: continuous assessment (tests and activities
carried out throughout the semester) and global assessment (official exam dates
for each evaluation opportunity established in the academic calendar), between
which students can choose.  To pass the
continuous evaluation, students must achieve a minimum grade of 50% in each
evaluation item. Students
who do not complete a minimum of 80% of the practical activities within the
established deadlines will move on to the global evaluation model. In the event of not reaching the minimum grade in any of the
evaluation items, the highest possible grade will be the highest within the
failing range (Art. 32.2 Regulamento sobre a Avaliación da Universidade de
Vigo, 2023).

The
students have fulfilled the minimum requirements of necessary presence for the
continuous assessment. Likewise have to attend and make the proofs that teacher
have like indispensable. The follow-up make trough the following resources:
virtual Course in the platform *Moodle (*MooVi, *UVigo) and e-mail.
Face-to-face teaching: follow-up in the classroom. Teaching no face-to-face:
Remote Campus (link in *MooVi).

Students
who have recognized the blended modality must follow the subject
by the Virtual Course in the MooVi platform, that allow the access to the
precise materials for achieve the results of learning. The use of the materials
offers to students in *MooVi have to respect the rights of author, and ben described
with a zero any proof or examination in which they copy " in the
substantial extraneous works (*dle-scrape).

For all the
students will specify in *MooVi the methodology, the activities, assessment,
together with the calendar of delivery (face-to-face or remote) that remain
clearly established. The follow-up of each student (use of the TIC) will give
own tools of the platform.

Regarding
scientific events (hours reserved for attendance at cross-theme activities organized
by the Area, Department or Faculty), in the case of blended students,
activities that require presence will be replaced by others that allow access
to the same percentage. of the final grade (systematic observation).

Those
students that choose to be evaluated by the modality of "global
assessment" have to communicate it to the teacher in the term of 31
working days from the start of each *cuatrimestre ((artigo 19.4 do Regulamento
sobre a avaliación, a calificación e a calidade da docencia e do proceso de
aprendizaxe do estudantado da Universidade de Vigo, do 2023). Students who
choose the global assessment modality will be evaluated on the subject's
program through a theoretical exam (60%) and a mandatory assignment to be
agreed upon with the instructors of the course (40%), and must
obtain a minimum of 50% of the maximum grade in each of them to pass the
subject.
