Assessment in the ordinary examination session

All content developed in the lectures and practical sessions will be assessed by a written multiple-choice exam, which will count for 60% of the final grade of the course. On the other hand, by the assessment of two assignments, each worth 20%. These assignments will be worth 30% of the student's final mark.

Students will be assessed by weighting the aspects listed in the table below according to the percentages indicated (for this weighting to be applied, the mark for the theory exam must exceed 4.5 out of 10, otherwise the course will be considered failed and the final mark will be a maximum of 4.5).

Assessment instruments


PERCENTAGES

Multiple-choice written test

60%

Individual work

20%

Group work

20%

In order to pass the practical part, linked to seminars and group tutorials, it will be essential to attend at least 80% of them.

Assessment in the Extraordinary Examination

Students who have not passed the course in the ordinary exam (because they failed or did not show up) will have to take a written test, which will be aimed at assessing knowledge and skills and, therefore, will have a value of 60% in the final grade. Therefore, in this exam, if students have not passed the practical part, they will have to hand in the assignments again. The group work may be replaced by a practical test, in which the student demonstrates the competences to be developed in this work (20% of the mark).

Differentiated assessment

Students who have been granted differentiated assessment will be assessed by the same procedure as the rest of the students; that is to say, they will have to take the final exam (60% of the final grade) as well as hand in the established work in order to obtain the remaining 40%. For these students, due to their inability to attend classes regularly, they will be provided with the necessary documentation to pass the course like any other student. The work does not have to be done in a group, although it must be handed in on the dates indicated for all students taking this subject.
