Other comments on the Evaluation

Following the provisions of the Regulation on the evaluation, qualification and quality of teaching and the student learning process (Approved in the Cloister on April 18, 2023), there are two continuous and global evaluation systems. Students must choose in the first four weeks of the semester between one of the two evaluation systems. If opting for the global evaluation, the student or student will inform the teacher of their express resignation from continuous evaluation system within the period established by the center for this purpose, together with the document covered and signed for this purpose.

The detail in the methodologies collected in the preceding table, corresponds to continuous evaluation system. The calculation of the final qualification in this system will be weighted as specified in the table, noting that the average of the qualifications obtained in continuous evaluation exercises and the work must suppose a minimum of 5 out of 10, the same qualification minimum that will have to be obtained in the examination of development questions to be carried out on the date of the official call. In the case of obtaining the grades  lower than those required, they will not be added together; if it is the case that the sum of continuous evaluation criteria adopted is equal to or greater than 5, the final qualification that will be recorded will be 4.9 –Fail–.

The person who does not show up for the exam will be recorded as Not Present (N.p.), even though they had followed up on the continuous assessment activities.

If opting for global evaluation exam, on the date and times provided by the center in the official exam calendar, the student must take the same development questions exam as the students taking the continuous assessment system (it will mean 40 % of the qualification, and a minimum of 5 must be obtained). In addition to the previous one, they will carry out a written commentary exercise on a text provided by the teacher, which they will summarize, identify the argued ideas or data relating them to the contents of the subject, and finish the commentary arguing yours opinions about what collected in the text (it will mean 20% of the qualification, and a minimum of 5 must be obtained). Finally, she will deliver a folder of reviews on a set of texts selected by the teacher, which are reported on the subject's teleteaching page. The review is a critical commentary on a work, which involves identifying the main idea or ideas collected, summarizing the data or arguments used to support what is stated, and incorporating your own reasoned opinion about what is argued in the texts. . A space will be set up on the teleteaching page to upload a digital copy of the folder, in which you will find the references of the texts to be worked on, and indications about the extension and format (it will mean 40% of the qualification, and it must be obtain a minimum of a 5). In the case of obtaining grades lower than those required, they will not be added together; if it is the case that the sum of the global evaluation criteria adopted is equal to or greater than 5, the final qualification that will be recorded will be 4.9 –Fail–.

The information about the evaluation tests, their format, length, evaluation rubric and delivery channels will be detailed through the MooVi platform. It is the responsibility of the student or student to be attentive to the information uploaded and collect the specific and complementary information that is necessary to pass the subject.

On the date of the second call for the subject -second opportunity-, the marks of the tests passed in the first call will be kept. In the case of the students that they chose continuous evaluation, when the average of the qualifications obtained in the continuous evaluation exercises and the group work is failed, since it does not reach the minimum of 5 out of 10, on the day of exam they will deliver a folder of texts, and/or exercises that the teacher will indicate at the time of the publication of the grades of the first call.

In the case of students that they chose the global evaluation, that they had not done or failed the text folder, they can deliver it on the day of the exam.
