ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS
The student has the right to use the following assessment systems: continuous assessment system and global assessment system.
1) CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
Continuous assessment requires the active participation of the student in the tasks and activities programmed during the term. Students are required to actively participate in class, and repeating students are not required to participate in class. The students who do not comply with this requirement will be subject to the global assessment.
The continuous assessment will consist of an test of 5 short questions on theoretical contents that will account for 60% of the grade. The remaining 40% will be assessed through a group work.
2) GLOBAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
{Those students who opt for this system or who do not pass the continuous assessment will have to take an individual test at the end of the semester (in the assessment calendar provided by the University of Zaragoza), which will account for 100% of the final grade.
The structure of the test will be: 5 short questions on theoretical-practical contents (100% of the grade).
RATING SYSTEM
In order to pass the subject it is necessary to obtain a minimum total score of five points out of ten (either in continuous assessment or in the Global Test).
In the event of the suspension of face-to-face teaching activities, the changes to be made will be introduced in the teaching guide through an addendum.
