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:
    In order to pass the subject, the following requirements must be satisfied: (at any time: progress tests, final exam o retake exam dates)
    a) WE1, WE2, WE3>=5. An exception can be made if WE1 or WE2 or WE3>=4.5 (and the other two>=5) and the global mark>=5;
    b) GW>=5;
    c) Global mark: (0.7*(WE1+WE2+WE3)/3+0.1*GW+0.05*(CH+OCH+CS+T))>=5;

    For notation, see the Grading System table (above).

    Part of each written exam can be replaced by a problem/case to be solved outside of class hours individually (just applicable for progress tests).

    An extra point can be awarded for each written exam. Format is decided throughout the semester.

    A compulsory case/problem is to be solved in small groups and a report must be uploaded. After that, an oral group exam is held based on the report where the students are graded individually. Groups of only one member are not allowed.

    Any plagiarism will be sanctioned with a 0 in the corresponding global activity. Global activities are described in the Grading System table.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students.
    Anyone choosing non-continuous evaluation must notify it to the lecturer at least 72 hours before the official date established for the final exam or the retake exam.

    All activities are individual

    Any plagiarism will be sanctioned with a 0 in the corresponding global activity. Global activities are described in the Grading System table.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In order to pass the subject, the following requirements must be satisfied: (at any time: progress tests, final exam o retake exam dates)
a) WE1, WE2, WE3>=5. An exception can be made if WE1 or WE2 or WE3>=4.5 (and the other two>=5) and the global mark>=5;
b) GW>=5;
c) Global mark: (0.7*(WE1+WE2+WE3)/3+0.1*GW+0.05*(CH+OCH+CS+T))>=5;

No possibility of replacing part of this exam by a problem/case to be solved outside of class hours individually.

No new extra points for this exam.

Written exams, group work and online tests can be retaken.

Any plagiarism will be sanctioned with a 0 in the corresponding global activity. Global activities are described in the Grading System table.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
A final written exam (FWE) 90%.
In order to pass the subject, the following requirements must be satisfied:
