8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 20.00% | 0.00% | Class participation during computer room practices, presentations and debates. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 30.00% | 30.00% | GIS analysis maps and reports. Minimum grade required: 4.0 |
| Final test | 50.00% | 70.00% | Final report of the course, including the identification of urban forms and good practices for management. Minimum grade required: 4.0 |
| 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 final grade of the course must be greater or equal to 5.0, and it will be obtained using the percentages assigned for the different activities included in the continuous evaluation system.
Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students.
Anyone choosing non-continuous assessment must notify it to the lecturer within the class period of the subject. The option is only available if the student¿s participation in evaluation activities (from the continuous assessment) has not reached 50% of the total evaluation for the subject. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The final grade of the course must be greater or equal to 5.0, and it will be obtained using the percentages assigned for the different activities included in the non-continuous evaluation system.
In this case, the students must do the GIS analysis in an autonomous way and present them in the final evaluation with the final report. In addition, they must include a section in the final report with the comparison with international case studies, as they probably do not attend the presentations and debates carried out during the course.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Every student is evaluated in the same way than in the final exam assessment (for both continuous or non-continuous evaluation), considering the same weighting percentages for getting the final grade.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
In this case, every student is evaluated using the same criteria and weighting percentages established in the non-continuous evaluation.
