8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 0.00% | 50.00% | Solving two problems of similar characteristics to those seen in the course. Minimum mark 4. |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 0.00% | Participation in class presentations will be considered. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 70.00% | 0.00% | Solving the case presented in the different topics. The minimum mark for each proposed problem is 4. This test can be made up by solving additional problems that must be handed in before the date set for the final exam. |
| Oral presentations assessment | 20.00% | 0.00% | Presentation of the topics proposed for analysis and dissertation throughout the course. Minimum mark for each presentation 4. These tests will not be recoverable. |

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 course is passed with a 5 after the application of the criteria defined in the continuous assessment system, previously indicated in this guide.
No marks are kept for other academic years. -
Non-continuous evaluation:It will consist of the two tests detailed in the evaluation system, each with a weight of 50% and a minimum mark of 4. The course is passed with a minimum overall mark of 5.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The same as in the final exam.
Students who have not passed the course in the final exam will have to make up the failed topics in the retake exam by solving additional problems proposed for this exam. These cases must be handed in on the day set for this exam in the student's guide.
In the extraordinary exam, each student will be subject to the same evaluation system (continuous or non-continuous) as in the ordinary exam.
Students who have not passed the course in the final exam will have to make up the failed topics in the retake exam by solving additional problems proposed for this exam. These cases must be handed in on the day set for this exam in the student's guide.
In the extraordinary exam, each student will be subject to the same evaluation system (continuous or non-continuous) as in the ordinary exam.
