5. Assessment system
The subject can be passed by Continuous Assessment (CA) or by a single Global Test (GT). The best grade will prevail. The CA will be based on a test (four skills evaluation), and class assignments. The GT will be based on the four-skills evaluation. An oral presentation could be included in the CA. In CA, the mark obtained in the oral presentation and written assignments will average with the four-skills evaluation test. Those who have not passed the CA four-skill Test (skill average below 60%) will sit the GT, in those areas below 60%.
The final mark (CA) will be based on the average of the four skills test, and the class assignments (presentation, project learning, written assignments, etc). This average must be 60% or higher to pass CA. The minimum mark to pass each skill is 50%. The final grade will be the average of the skills (%) (or skills + assignments in the case of CA) transformed into a 1 to 10 scale in which the 5 (pass) will correspond to 60%, and 10 to 100%
Students who do not pass the CA or want to improve their final grade can take the GT.
Students scoring below 50% in any skill must also repeat those skills with grades lower than 60%. When the average of the CA is lower than 60%, any skill lower than 60% must be repeated. Students who fail sit for a GT exam.
Students who want to improve their CA grade must take a GT including the four skills.
