5. Assessment system
Types of tests and their value on the final grade: assessment criteria for each test
-Development of a project (50%)
It will be carried out in parallel to the study of the course and the resolution of practical activities. It involves working with a real case . It will be developed in small groups and the work done will be presented in writing and/or orally.
The completion of this project is mandatory for all students and requires the supervision and guidance of teachers during its development. No work that has not been previously supervised will be accepted.
- Practical activities and mandatory homework (50%)
In order for these activities to be counted and graded, they must be submitted on the dates established by teachers. In addition, the student must have completed at least 80% of them in person.
Those students who have not completed or passed the practical activities and compulsory assignments, may take a global test consisting of questions on the contents of the course and the resolution of cases and/or problems.
A minimum score of 5 points in each of the parts is required to pass the subject.
The same criteria will be applied in the second and subsequent rounds as in the overall test.
* Finally, it must be taken into account that the Regulations of the Coexistence Rules of the University of Zaragoza will apply to irregularities committed in the assessment tests through academic fraud, as well as the application, as well as the application of the article of the Regulations of the Learning Assessment Rules in relation to irregular practices other than academic fraud.
