  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Lecturing Four partial tests, eliminatory along the semester of multiple choice, and/or development questions:

Test 1: 14%.
Test 2: 14%.
Test 3: 14%.
Test 4: 14%.

Failed or not carried out tests can be recovered in the Second Call.

- The dates of the different tests will appear in the schedule that the Dean's Office makes available to the student.

The teacher structures and/or explains the objectives and contents of each topic and responds to the questions raised by the students. At the end of each class, students will have the presentations discussed in the classroom, demonstration videos, and links to free access texts on Moovi. During the semester the teacher will evaluate the students through 4 tests of a maximum of 25 minutes each that will consist of objective and/or development questions. Failed or not completed tests may be recovered in the Second Call through an exam that will consist of objective and/or development questions. Self-assessment questionnaires will be made available to students.

Attendance at the master classes is recommended. The material explained in class may not be included in its entirety in the presentations that will be made available to students. On the other hand, attendance will be assessed by completing assignments and attention tests that will be delivered in the classroom at the end of the class and can provide up to 1 additional point to the final grade for the subject.

Other comments on the Evaluation

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

Students must pass, with at least 5 points out of 10, each of the five partial tests (4 for Theory and 1 for Practice). If the minimum grade is not achieved in any of the partial tests, the grade in the Minutes (First Call) will always be the highest grade of the failed exams. The failed theoretical and practical tests may be recovered in the Second Call, preserving the qualifications of the tests passed during the semester. The qualification for two seminars is not recoverable in the Second Call.

OVERALL EVALUATION: 

Exceptionally, students who choose not to take the continuous evaluation may request the global evaluation and take the complete exam of the subject (theoretical and practical contents) within the deadline established by the school. This evaluation will be carried out on the official dates of the first and second opportunity.

IN BOTH MODALITIES OF EVALUATION:

Students who, having failed the global test or one of the partial tests of the semester, do not appear for their retake in the Second Call, will appear in the Minutes as "Not Presented".

EVALUATION OF STUDENTS REGISTERED FOR THE SECOND OR SUCCESSIVE TIMES:

Continuous assessment:

Notes from the approved theoretical and practical part, as well as from the seminars, will be kept (for 2 years). If they consider it so, they may attend the practices voluntarily or not.

General evaluation:

Exceptionally, students who choose not to take advantage of the continuous evaluation may request the global evaluation and take the complete exam of the subject (theoretical and practical contents) within the deadline established by the school. This evaluation will be carried out on the official dates of the first and second opportunity.

Students are strongly requested to fulfil a honest and responsible behaviour. It is considered completely unacceptable any alteration or fraud (i.e., copy or plagiarism) contributing to modify the level of knowledge and abilities acquired in exams, evaluations, reports or any kind of teacher’s proposed work. Fraudulent behaviour may cause failing the course for a whole academic year. An internal dossier of these activities will be built and, when reoffending, the university rectorate will be asked to open a disciplinary record.

OTHER COMMENTS:

Students may not have a mobile phone or other electronic device in class unless it is necessary to carry out an activity, which will be previously communicated by the teaching staff.

Final exam date: consult link mar.uvigo.es/alumnado/examenes/

Responsible and honest behavior is required of students taking this subject. Any form of fraud (copying or plagiarism) aimed at falsifying the level of knowledge and skills achieved in any type of test, report or work is considered inadmissible. Fraudulent conduct may result in failing the subject for an entire course. An internal record of these actions will be kept in order, in the event of recidivism, to request the opening of a disciplinary file to the rectorate.
