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 continuous evaluation corresponds to three PARTIAL tests (40%), resolution of problems or cases (40%) and assessment of active participation in class (20%).
Partial tests are tests that are included in the continuous evaluation and they are given to the students to facilitate the passing of the subject, being equivalent to a final evaluation. Failure to do the partial test and assessment of problem solving and/or case studies, cause the student to switch to a non-continuous modality.
Students will be informed the first day of the classes about the possibility of developing an autonomous work of a voluntary nature. This work will serve to raise the final grade (for example: 4.5-failed- to 5-passed) therefore, no work will be sent to raise the evaluation once the subject has been evaluated in order to not interfere with the ordinary exams in May/June. and the end of the extraordinary exams. The voluntary work will be supervised (preliminary meeting, scheme delivery, work supervision, personal delivery of the work).
-
Non-continuous evaluation:
For the non-continuous evaluation, a final evaluation with 100% is foreseen. Passing that single exam, students can get 10/10 without requiring any more accademical work. Whoever does not attend class regularly and does not present problems solving and/or case studies will not be eligible for continuous evaluation.
Every student enrolled at UCLM is an official student of UCLM and corresponds to be evaluated the day officially scheduled as the day of the exam. Student who is in mobility (Erasmus, Sicue...) is a student of the UCLM for all purposes. UCLM has firmly committed to face-to-face clases since the Covid confinement came out, for this exams are face-to-face at the classrooms. An evaluation of another type would prevent applying the same criteria to all the students, for this reason it is not possible to do written works for theses students in mobility as a form of evaluation since the same type of exam must be done to all the students.
However, and precisely to favor mobility, given that sometimes there is a coincidence between the evaluation activities of the UCLM and the University of mobility destination, those students who coincide on the same day exams where they are taking Erasmus, Sicue../UCLM, it will be necessary to provide another day as an alternative exam date within the time timetable established for the exams in the ordinary call. These students will have to send proof of the existence of the exam and when they take the exam they must request a proof of the exam to deliver it when they take the exam in our Faculty.
No exam will be taken outside the timetable provided for the exams in the ordinary call because, as we are informed every year from the Dean's Office, that date is important to facilitate the enrollment period.
Students will be informed the first day of the classes about the possibility of developing an autonomous work of a voluntary nature. This work will serve to raise the final grade (for example: 4.5-failed- to 5-passed) therefore, no work will be sent to raise the grade once the subject has been evaluated so as not to interfere with the ordinary exams in May/June. and the end of the extraordinary exams. The volunteer work will be supervised (preliminary meeting, scheme delivery, work supervision, personal delivery of the work).
