5. Assessment system

1) Mixed System

The evaluation will be carried out by areas of knowledge involved, and a global average will subsequently be calculated

global.

The teacher of each of the areas involved may ask the students to take a test in class, whether in the

classroom or by videoconference- to learn about the acquisition of knowledge, or a paper to be delivered on

the date requested (summary of what has been explained, review, reading commentary, etc.).

The works may be individual or in small groups 

Those who have attended the various scheduled sessions (at the Faculty or by videoconference) will obtain the final grade according to the work done. When, in spite of opting for continuous evaluation, it is not possible to attend some of the sessions, the teacher in charge will indicate the summary, commentary, reading or similar that will make up for this absence. 

The maximum numerical grade will be 10 points. 

2) Simple system based exclusively on the final global test.

Those who do not attend the sessions (face-to-face and by videoconference) will take the indicated exam at the end of the module.

The test may include summaries of articles, completion of personal work, and a test of

evaluation in the strict sense.

3) Second call.

Those who apply for the second call must proceed in the same way as for the overall test

of evaluation of the first call
