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:Test based on open questions and multiple answers responses to evaluate theoretical and practical learning
-
Non-continuous evaluation:Test based on open questions and multiple answers responses to evaluate theoretical and practical learning
