8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Progress Tests | 90.00% | 100.00% | Two progress tests, both scoring 50% of the final score. Compensation between them is only possible from a score of 4 out of 10. |
| Laboratory sessions | 10.00% | 0.00% | |
| 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:Two progress tests, both scoring 50% of the final score.
Compensation between them is only possible from a score of 4 out of 10. -
Non-continuous evaluation:A single test will include questions about the whole course, including laboratory
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Any part of the final exam (ordinary) can be passed in the second resit, whose structure will be similar to the progress tests and to the final exam
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
