8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Fieldwork assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | Final project |
| Laboratory sessions | 40.00% | 20.00% | Laboratory practices and its reports |
| Test | 40.00% | 40.00% | Evaluation test |
| Other methods of assessment | 0.00% | 20.00% | Theorical-practical laboratory exam (only for non-continuous evaluation students) |
| 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:In order to pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4.0 points in each of the compulsory activities (assessment tests and laboratory practices), and obtain a minimum of 5.0 in the final assessment of the course.
The reports of suspended practices may be re-delivered in the extraordinary call. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The practical reports may be delivered up to the date of the ordinary call. Students who change from continuous to non-continuous assessment will maintain the grade of the mandatory assessable activities presented.
The evaluation of the competences acquired in the development of laboratory practices will be evaluated by means of a theoretical-practical exam.
In the field work your memory will be evaluated, but not the presentation in class.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Suspended practical reports or final project may be recovered with a new delivery on the date of the extraordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The evaluation will be 60% evaluation test (theoretical exam) and 40% theoretical-practical laboratory exam.
