CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

All students will be continuously assessed through the development of a CASE STUDY, practicals, quizzes, and tests, as well as problem-solving tasks.

PROBLEM-SOLVING (10%): Throughout the course, students will complete various deliverables related to problem-solving, as well as H5P activities.

CASE STUDY (20%): over the semester, students will work in groups on a project where they will apply the knowledge acquired in the course. The instructor will schedule follow-up seminars to evaluate the project's progress. The partial evaluations of the deliverables during the course and the final evaluation of the project's report and presentation account for 20% of the final grade, with 10% for the report and follow-up and 10% for the presentation.

LAB PRACTICALS AND STUDY TRIPS (20%): During the semester, students will participate in lab practicals and study trips, accounting for 20% of the final grade. The total grade for practicals and study trips is divided as follows: 10% for an individual oral exam on the practicals and 10% for the practicals report and study trip test. A minimum attendance of 80% for the practicals and study trips is required to be eligible for their evaluation. Otherwise, the grade for this section will be 0.0, and the student must take an exam on them during the final exam. Additionally, a minimum of 40% must be achieved in the practicals; failing to do so will require the student to take a practicals exam during the final exam.

QUIZZES AND TESTS (20%): Throughout the semester, preferably after each topic, quizzes or short-answer tests may be administered, constituting 20% of the grade. Additionally, QUIZZIZ tests may be given, potentially adding up to 0.5 bonus points.

FINAL MARK

The final mark will be the sum of the marks obtained in each section, provided a minimum grade is achieved in the objective question exams (40% of the maximum grade of 2) and in the development question exam (50% of the maximum grade of 3). If the minimum grade is not achieved in the exams, the sum of these grades will be the qualification recorded.

SECOND EXAMINATION SESSION

In the second session, the practicals grade from the first session (if it reached 40% of the maximum grade) and the grades from the CASE STUDY and PROBLEM-SOLVING sections will be maintained. Students who did not achieve 40% of the maximum grade in the practicals will need to take an exam on them in the second session.

WAIVER OF CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT/GLOBAL ASSESSMENT

Students may opt to be assessed by a final exam covering all course content (theoretical and practical), which will constitute 100% of the grade.

ETHICAL COMMITMENT

Students are expected to exhibit appropriate ethical behavior. If unethical behavior (e.g., cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized use of electronic devices) is detected, the student will be considered as not meeting the requirements to pass the course, resulting in a final grade of fail (0.0) for the academic year. No electronic devices are allowed during evaluation tests unless expressly authorized. Introducing an unauthorized electronic device into the exam room will be grounds for failing the course, resulting in a final grade of fail (0.0)
