The assessment system is divided into continuous assessment activities (60%) and a final exam (40%).
Summary of the evaluation system:
System | Percentage |
Individual activities. Cases | 10% |
Group activities. Cases | 15% |
SM strategy exhibitions | 15% |
Group project. Strategy SM | 20% |
Final exam | 40% |
- The cases (individual and group) will be submitted via moodle with a deadline usually of 9am on the designated date (check every hour limit on the moodle itself). The date of each task is marked in the Schedule and will be discussed in the first class of the subject.
- They will not be accepted via e-mail or any other means other than the moodle assignment.
- Tasks handed in beyond the final date and up to 24 hours later will have 1 penalty point in the grade. No assignment will be accepted beyond 24 hours.
- In the case of repeat students: The grade of an assignment is maintained only if it is higher than 7 out of 10, and only in one call. If these requirements are not met, the student must do the group work like the rest of the students.
Under no circumstances can a work be carried out individually or an improvement made on previous installments (the work will be evaluated from scratch like any other work)
- The exams are face-to-face and under no circumstances can they be taken online.
- You must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5 out of 10 in the final exam to be able to make an average with the other evaluation parts of the subject.
- In the recovery period, only 40% of the final exam can be recovered. To recover, you will need to obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 to calculate the average of the subject.
- A student who has not appeared in the first call CANNOT appear in the recovery.
- Any condition that entails the suspension of the subject, is directly and without the possibility of recovery.
These assumptions are indicated directly in the related subjects (group work, rules of conduct, etc.)
