The final grade of the student is the result of a continuous assessment through different assessment activities. The pass of the subject is obtained with a grade equal to or higher than 5 points (out of 10) according to the following weighting table:

Evaluation activity Weighting Assessed skills
Resolution of practical cases 15% G9, T7, E8, E11, G6, T2, E9
Individual and / or group work 35% G9, T7, E8, E11, B2, G6, B3, G1, T2, T4, E9, E7
Examen 50% G9, E8, B2, G6, B3, T4, E9

 

Criteria for averaging the grades of the evaluation activities:

Evaluation activity criteria

Resolution of practical cases

 5/10
Individual and / or group work 5/10
Examen 5/10

 

Recovery

During the same course, there is the possibility of recovering skills not achieved during the course.

In accordance with current regulations, in the evaluation activity of the exam, it will only be possible to opt for the recovery of the subject if it has been suspended. In case of Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.

The assessment activity in the recovery period is a face-to-face exam (written test). This exam weighs 50% of the assessment and must be passed with a 5/10 to be able to assess the entire subject. The grade obtained during the continuous assessment will be maintained.

Evaluation activity in recovery period Weighting Assessed skills
Resolution of practical cases 15% (Not recoverable) G9, T7, E8, E11, G6, T2, E9
Individual and / or group work 35% (Not recoverable) G9, T7, E8, E11, B2, G6, B3, G1, T2, T4, E9, E7
Examen 50% G9, E8, B2, G6, B3, T4, E9

 

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
