8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 0.00% | Laboratory practices |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 15.00% | 0.00% | Practice reports |
| Projects | 10.00% | 0.00% | Academically-directed assignments |
| Final test | 60.00% | 100.00% | The student who carries out continuous evaluation will obtain 60% of his global grade through the final test of the subject. Students who do not carry out continuous assessment must be examined in this final test, which will have three parts: theoretical-practical aspects seen in the course, a part related to the laboratory practices and, finally, a part related to the resolution of a practical case (see Evaluation Criteria). |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The breakdown of weights for each activity is shown in the "Grading" section of this guide. A minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 in the final test and a minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 in the laboratory practices and their reports will be required to pass the course. If these requirements are not met, the final grade of the course will be no greater than 4.5.
The grades obtained in any of the parts will not be kept for subsequent courses. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Those students who have not participated in the continuous evaluation during the semester will have to take a final test. This test will consist of three parts that will include the assessable activities of the continuous evaluation modality of the course:
1) Part related to theoretical-practical aspects (Weight 60%; Minimum Required Grade 4.0 out of 10 (*)): Written test related to theoretical and practical issues seen in the course.
2) Part related to laboratory practices (Weight 30%; Minimum Required Grade 4.0 out of 10 (*)): The student must obtain the practical results requested by means of simulation.
3) Part related to the resolution of a practical case (Weight 10%).
(*) If the minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 is not achieved in the assessable activities or parts indicated, the course will not be passed and the final grade will be no greater than 4.5.
The grades obtained in any of the parts will not be kept for subsequent courses.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
There will be a final test with three parts. These parts include the assessable activities of the continuous evaluation modality of the course, and it is equivalent to the final exam of the non-continuous modality:
1) Part related to theoretical-practical aspects (Weight 60%; Minimum Required Grade 4.0 out of 10 (*)): Written test related to theoretical and practical issues seen in the course.
2) Part related to laboratory practices (Weight 30%; Minimum Required Grade 4.0 out of 10 (*)): The student must obtain the practical results requested by means of simulation.
3) Part related to the resolution of a practical case (Weight 10%).
(*) If the minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 is not achieved in the assessable activities or parts indicated, the course will not be passed and the final grade will be no greater than 4.5.
The grades equal to or greater than 5.0 obtained in the ordinary call for the assessable activities of the continuous evaluation (final exam, laboratory practices and reports, and assignments), or for the equivalent parts in the non-continuous evaluation modality (theoretical/practical aspects, laboratory practices, and resolution of a practical case), may be kept for the corresponding part of the extraordinary call.
The grades obtained in any of the parts will not be kept for subsequent courses.
1) Part related to theoretical-practical aspects (Weight 60%; Minimum Required Grade 4.0 out of 10 (*)): Written test related to theoretical and practical issues seen in the course.
2) Part related to laboratory practices (Weight 30%; Minimum Required Grade 4.0 out of 10 (*)): The student must obtain the practical results requested by means of simulation.
3) Part related to the resolution of a practical case (Weight 10%).
(*) If the minimum grade of 4.0 out of 10 is not achieved in the assessable activities or parts indicated, the course will not be passed and the final grade will be no greater than 4.5.
The grades equal to or greater than 5.0 obtained in the ordinary call for the assessable activities of the continuous evaluation (final exam, laboratory practices and reports, and assignments), or for the equivalent parts in the non-continuous evaluation modality (theoretical/practical aspects, laboratory practices, and resolution of a practical case), may be kept for the corresponding part of the extraordinary call.
The grades obtained in any of the parts will not be kept for subsequent courses.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Identical to those indicated in the non-continuous evaluation modality of the ordinary call.
