Following the guidelines of the studies, two evaluation systems will be offered to the students inscribed on this subject: continuous evaluation and evaluation at the end of the semester.

The continuous evaluation consists of several tasks. 

A student follows the continuous evaluation system if she/he participates in task 3 (approximately in the seventh week of the semester) or any later task. Tasks 1 and 2 may be performed without opting for the continuous evaluation. 

Students who choose continuous evaluation:

Several tasks are evaluated. The approximate task calendar and the weight of each task in the final grade are listed below.

Task 1: Individual resolution of a problem. Weight 5%. Week 4

Task 2: Correction of the task 1 from somebody else. Weight 5%. Week 5

Task 3: Development of a test. This is done in groups of 4. Weight 10%. Week 7

Task 4: Individual resolution of a test. Weight 10%. Week 10

Task 5: Individual resolution of a problem. Weight 10%. Week 12

Task 6: Answer a questionnaire by couples with the help of the computer. Weight 10%. Week 14

The last task of the continuous evaluation will be a final exam. This will be a smaller version of the exam to be carried out by students who do not opt for continuous evaluation. The weight of the examination in the final grade will be 50 %

Before the completion or delivery of each task, the date and procedure for the review of the obtained marks will be indicated. Students will have the option to know the status of each task and review the correction within a reasonable period of time (a week, generally).

These tasks are not recoverable, what means that if a student cannot fulfill them in the stipulated period, teachers will not be committed to repeat them.

The obtained grade will be valid only for the current academic course.

If a student has participated in continuous evaluation and does not pass the course he/she will receive a grade of fail, regardless of he/she takes the final exam or not.

The final grade for students who opt for continuous evaluation will be calculated as the average between the final exam and the previous tasks marks. To minimize the impact of a possible miss on a task, the average of these will be computed excluding the worst obtained grade. Taking into account that tasks 1 and 2 are two parts of the same exercise, and that jointly weigh 10%, they will be considered as a whole for the purpose of excluding the worst mark.

Students who choose for evaluation at the end of the semester:

The possibility of a final examination will be provided to students who do not opt for the continuous evaluation. This exam will be rated between 0 and 10, and this will be the final grade obtained.

Retake in the July session

Previously to the exam (or at its beginning), students will be asked to choose to be evaluated by continuous evaluation system (described before) or only by the final exam.

The subject is considered passed if the final grade obtained is equal to or greater than 5.
