5. Assessment system
The subject will be assessed by means of a partial exam of theory and practice and a final exam of theory and practice. In the final exam, students who have passed the first mid-term will be examined on the theory taught in the second term and their theory grade will be measured against the grade obtained in the mid-term. Those who do not take the partial exam or have not passed it with, at least, a grade of 5 out of 10, will be examined, on the other hand, of all the theory taught in both semesters.
The theoretical exams will consist of 14 multiple-choice questions and one development question from the program. The test will account for 70% of the grade to be obtained in theory (to be computed 0.5 per correct answer), while the development question will be equivalent to 30% of the theory grade. Errors on the test will be penalized with 0.25 per wrong answer.
The practical test of the final exam will consist of the resolution of a practical case with the help of legislation and will cover the entire syllabus. The following are exempted from this requirement
passed the practical credits of the subject by means of continuous assessment (consisting of attendance at least 80% of the classes and the assessment of participation and the completion of cases).
The grade obtained in this practical test will represent 30% of the final grade, to be integrated with the 70% assigned on this final grade to the assessment of the theory resulting from the tests and the development questions.
