5. Assessment system
An optional Continuous Assessment System is proposed, in addition to the Global Asessment System.
Continuous Evaluation System contains practical and theoretical tests throughout the semester
- Practical tests, involving the resolution of theoretical and practical exercises. 70% of the final grade
The assessment criteria are the obtaining of results, analysis and interpretation of the results
- Theoretical tests, with short open-answer and multiple-choice questionnaires.
30% of the final grade
The assessment criteria for open-ended questions include the accuracy, relevance and clarity of the answer
Eligibility requirements:
- Participation in all the assessment tests that comprise it, obtaining in each one of them a minimum grade of 30% of its assessment.
- Minimum attendance at 80% of the semester's face-to-face activities
- Passing the subject by Continuous Assessment requires obtaining 50% of the 100 points in which the subject is assessed
Global Assessment System corresponds to a single exam in an official call, in which the same type of tests and the same assessment criteria as those mentioned for the Continuous Assessment will be posed.
