DETAILED INFORMATION

At the end of the semester, the student has to choose between two methods of evaluation: CONTINUOUS EVALUATION or FINAL EXAM.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
This assessment method is organised according to the activities described in the previous table.

To pass the subject, the student has to get a mark higher or equal than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall result of the evaluated aspects, as long as he or she has obtained a mark higher or equal than 4.0 in each one of those assessed aspects.

FINAL EXAM EVALUATION
This kind of evaluation is based in only one written exam that evaluates all the aspects of the subject, by assessing the students acquisition of all the competences and learning outcome sestablished in the subject. This exam will take place during the examination period on a date established by the centre. The final exam is weighted in the following way:

- Attendanceand participation (S1), Theoretical concepts (S2) and Exercises, problems and study cases (S3): 70%.

- Laboratory and computer practical work (S4): 30%.

 

In order topass the subject, the student must have marks higher or equal to 5.0 out of 10 at each part of the final exam.

The students who have already fulfil the requirements of aspect S4 (Laboratoryor computer practical work) through the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION, by obtaining a mark higher or equal to 5.0 out of 10 do not have to make this part in the FINAL EXAM evaluation.

Those aspects successfully completed with a mark higher or equal to 5.0 will beconsidered passing during that academic year.

With this systems the following competences will be evaluated: TR1, TR2,TR3, TR4, TR5, TR6, E2, E8, E9, E12 , CB6, CB7,CB8, CB9, CB10, CE15, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG8, CG9, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7

The positive evaluation of the entire evaluation system willmean that the student has achieved the following learning outcomes:Resul-02, Resul-06, Resul-07, Resul-08
