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 surname and a photograph. The teacher will understand that students have chosen 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 tests.

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.

Total or partial plagiarism in any type of test or exam means the student will be given an automatic fail mark in the subject. Claiming ignorance of what plagiarism entails will not exempt students from their responsibility in this regard.

A.1) Continuous evaluation

In order to follow continuous evaluation, students must take the three continuous assessment tests, the final oral exam (20% of the final mark) and the final written exam (50% of the final mark), which will have the following parts: Use of English (40%), Writing (20%), Reading (20%), Listening (20%). The continuous assessment tests are:

1) Writing test (10% of the final mark)
2) Reading and listening test (10% of the final mark)
3) Speaking test (10% of the final mark)

The date and time of the final written exam of the continuous evaluation will be set by the faculty and published on its website. The date and time of the final oral exam and the rest of the continuous assessment tests will be announced in Faitic and in the course schedule (“cronograma”) published on the Faculty website.

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 writing test (10%), the reading and listening test (10%) and the final written exam of the continuous evaluation (50%).

2) Get a minimum mark of 5 as a result of the arithmetic mean of the speaking test (10%) and the final oral exam (20% of the final mark of the subject).

Continuous evaluation tests or exams not taken will count as a 0 when calculating continuous evaluation final marks.

The marks of those parts passed will be kept for the second edition of the records:

a) written part of the subject (arithmetic mean of the writing test, the reading and listening test and the final written exam)
b) oral part of the subject (arithmetic mean of the speaking test and the final oral exam).

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 exam (100% of the final mark). This final exam will have two parts:

1) Written exam (70% of the final mark of the subject), which will have 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 (30% 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 marks.

The date of this final evaluation exam of the first edition of the records will be set by the Faculty and published on its website.

The marks of those parts passed (oral exam or written exam) will be kept for the second edition of the records (July).

B) SECOND EDITION OF RECORDS (July):

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, with a final exam similar to that of the first edition of the records:

1) Written exam (70% of the final mark of the subject), which will have 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 (30% 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 marks.

The date of this July exam will be set by the Faculty and published on the University Web page. Students who do not pass the subject in July will have to resit the subject in the following academic years and the parts of the exams passed during this academic course will not be valid for the following academic years.
