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:Evaluation criteria for the ordinary call:
Continuous evaluation:
A student enrolled for the first time in a subject has two calls during the academic year:
1. Ordinary presential call: it comprises the continuous evaluation of all theoretical and practical activities reflected in the schedule fulfilling the conditions described in the teaching guide of the subject and the minimum attendance requirements to pass the subject.
2. Extraordinary call: It includes the evaluation of the failed part of the subject in the ordinary call. It will consist of a theoretical exam and/or practical exam, the rest of the scores of the practical part will be those obtained during the course in reports, seminars, presentations, work, participation and attitude or OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination).
In case of failing the subject the first time it is taken, the options for the following academic year will be two of the following three options:
1. Ordinary call: within this call, two modalities can be chosen:
a. Classroom mode: Includes the continuous evaluation of all theoretical and practical activities reflected in the schedule fulfilling the conditions described in the teaching guide of the subject, as if the subject was taken fort the first time, and the grades obtained in the previous year will not be taken into account.
b. Non-attendance mode: It includes the evaluation of only the failed part of the subject during the previous course with a theoretical exam and/or practical exam per semester on the same date as the final exam of each semester. The scores for practical exams other than the practical exam will be those kept from the previous course. This modality can only be chosen in the case of having taken the subject in the ordinary presential call exam in the previous academic year.
2. Extraordinary call: It includes the evaluation of the failed part of the subject in the ordinary call either of the current academic year, if the student has opted for the ordinary presential call, or of the previous academic year, in the rest of the cases. It will consist of a theoretical and/or practical exam, the rest of the evaluation of the practical part will be those of the current or previous course. In the case of not having taken the ordinary presential exam in the current or previous academic year, the scores of previous exams will not be taken into account, since they will be kept only for one academic year.
3. Special final call: This includes the evaluation of the failed part of the subject in the previous year. This call can only be requested in the case of key subjects. It will consist of a theoretical and/or practical exam, the rest of the scores of the practical part will be those of the previous course. In the case of not having taken the ordinary presential exam in the current or previous course, the scores of previous exams will not be considered, since they will be kept only for one academic course.
These conditions will only be maintained in the academic year consecutive to the ordinary presential exam of a subject. The scores of the practical or theoretical part passed will only be kept if the minimum attendance requirements to pass the subject described in the electronic guide have been met.
In case that the subject is not passed in the second academic year, the same biannual cycle criteria described for the first and second year of enrollment will be the same in the third and successive odd numbered years of enrollment.
ORDINARY PRESENTIAL CALL:
Theoretical evaluation:
70% distributed in:
- 50% module exams
- 20% final semester exams
To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain half of the 70%, which represents at least 3.5 points in the theoretical part of the 10 total points of the course.
Evaluation of practices, presentations, problems, work, participation, and attitude:
30% valued jointly as follows:
- Practical exam: 15%.
- Practical reports: 10%.
- Participation and attitude: 5%.
To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain half of the 30%, which represents at least 1.5 points in the practical part of the 10 total points of the course.
EXTRAORDINARY CALL, SPECIAL FINAL CALL, NON-ATTENDANCE MODE:
Theoretical evaluation: exam with 70% value. To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain half of the 70%, which represents at least 3.5 points in the theoretical part of the 10 total points of the course.
In case of having passed the theoretical part in the previous course, the score obtained in the last exam will be maintained.
Practical evaluation: to pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain half of the 30%, which represents at least 1.5 points in the practical part of the 10 total points of the course.
There will be a practical exam and the results of the rest of the practical exams of the ordinary presential exam, either from the current year or the previous year, will be taken into account. -
