S4: Practical lectures.

Grade.

The tools described below allow the assesment of learning outcomes 31 to 35 and the COPT1R in addition to the CB2R, CT2, CT3 and CT4 competencies.

If S2 is greater than or equal to 5, then

Grade = 0.1·S1 + 0.5·S2 + 0.2·S3 + 0.2·S4

Otherwise:

Grade = S2

1. Methodology and learning activities

(*) The Center may establish a different attendance percentage depending on the number of students and capacity of the classroom / laboratory.

(**) The Center may establish rotating attendance depending on the number of students and capacity of the classroom / laboratory (class in the schedule and classroom / laboratory assigned to one part of the group and videoconference broadcast to the rest, with periodic rotation of students, as determined by the Center).

For online activities, the teaching staff involved in teaching is reserved the right not to give consent for the capture, publication, retransmission or reproduction of his speech, image, voice and explanations of chair, in the exercise of its teaching functions, within the scope of the University of Jaén.

2. Evaluation system

Regular call

Extra call

For those students without a grade in the S1, S3 and S4 activities the final grade will be the exam grade.

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.
