Other comments on the Evaluation
A) FIRST EDITION OF THE RECORDS Students can choose continuous evaluation (A.1) or final evaluation (A.2). Students have to tell the lecturer which of the two systems they prefer. In the first two weeks of the classes, those who decide to choose continuous evaluation have to hand in a card (ficha) with their name and a photograph. The teacher will understand that students have chosen the final evaluation if they do not hand in that card, or if they do not tell the teacher they have chosen continuous evaluation or if they do not participate in the continuous evaluation exams. Continuous evaluation is recommended, as it is the most adequate system to learn English. During exams, students are not allowed to use dictionaries, laptops, mobile phones or other electronic devices. A.1) Continuous evaluation In order to follow continuous evaluation, students should do the assignments required during the course, both in the theoretical and the practical classes, and do all the continuous evaluation tests. In order to pass the subject it will be necessary to: 1) Get a minimum mark of 5 as a result of the arithmetic mean of the two written exams (40% + 40% of the final mark of the subject). Each of the exams will have the following parts: Use of English (40%), Writing (20%), Reading (20%), Listening (20%). 2) Pass the oral exam with a minimum mark of 5 (20% of the final mark of the subject). Continuous evaluation tests not taken will count as a “0” when calculating continuous evaluation final marks. The marks of those parts passed: oral exam or written exam (aritmetic mean of both written exams) will be kept for the second edition of the records (July 2020). A.2) Final evaluation Students who do not attend classes regularly and who do not take any continuous evaluation tests can follow the final evaluation in the first edition of the records. This will be a final test (100% of the final mark). This final exam will have two parts: 1) Written exam (80% of the final mark of the subject), with the following parts: Use of English (40%), Writing (20%), Reading (20%), Listening (20%). In order to pass the subject a minimum mark of 5 will be required in the written exam. 2) Oral exam (20% of the final mark of the subject). In order to pass the subject, a minimum mark of 5 will be required in the oral exam. Final evaluation exams not taken will count as a “0” when calculating final evaluation final marks. The final evaluation of the first edition of the records (A.2) is not an opportunity to resit failed continuous evaluation exams. July 2020 is the time when students can resit those failed continuous evaluation exams. The date of the final evaluation exam of the first edition of the records will be set by the Faculty and published in the University Web page. The marks of those parts passed (oral exam or written exam) will be kept for the second edition of the records (July 2020). B) SECOND EDITION OF THE RECORDS: (July 2020): Students who fail or do not take the first edition of the records exams will be assessed in the second edition of the records in July 2020, with a final test similar to that in the first edition of the records: 1) Written exam (80% of the final mark of the subject), with the following parts: Use of English (40%), Writing (20%), Reading (20%), Listening (20%). In order to pass the subject, a minimum mark of 5 will be required in the written exam. 2) Oral exam (20% of the final mark of the subject). In order to pass the subject, a minimum mark of 5 will be required in the oral exam. Second edition of the records exams not taken will count as a “0” when calculating final evaluation final marks. The date of this July 2020 exam will be set by the Faculty and published in the University Web page. Students who do not pass the subject in July 2020 will have to resit the subject in the following academic years and the parts of the exams passed during the 2019-2020 course will not be valid for the following academic years.
