Evaluation system


The evaluation will consist of the continuous evaluation and with the following percentages:

• 10%: Participation and attitude (non-recoverable). 80% of the sessions must be attended.

• 40%: Group or individual written work. Any non-handover of the final work will result in a grade of 0 for this part and in case of an oral presentation of the work it will not be possible to do so. The work is not recoverable.

• 50%: Final exam (recoverable). A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 must be obtained in order to be able to compute the other assessment items.

It will be necessary to take a minimum mark of 5 in the final exam and in the work to be able to make the average of the mark of the subject. Otherwise, those students who do not reach the minimum mark in the exam or the average of the course does not exceed 5 out of 10, they will have to go to recovery.

Recovery:
In the event that a student has failed, he / she will be able to go to the recovery of the final exam.
 

A student who has not taken the exam in the first call CANNOT take the retake.
