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:
    Those described in the 'evaluation system' table
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Those described in the 'evaluation system' table

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
It is possible to retake the 'progress test'. The criteria for other activities will be published after the final exam. The evaluation criteria will be those described in the 'evaluation system' table.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
