8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Progress Tests | 30.00% | 0.00% | Continuous assessment through monitoring the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and resolution of practical cases in the classroom that demonstrate the acquisition of the corresponding skills |
| Final test | 55.00% | 85.00% | Written evaluation test that will consist of solving theoretical, theoretical-practical questions and practical cases related to the contents of the subject. |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | Carrying out of practices in the laboratory and delivery of reports related to the knowledge acquired in them |
| 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:To pass the course, it is essential to carry out the laboratory practices and obtain through reports delivery at least a grade of 5 out of 10.
Those students who do not pass the laboratory practices through the delivery of reports must take a specific written test.
The final grade for the course will be obtained by applying the assessment percentages indicated above in the continuous assessment system. -
Non-continuous evaluation:To pass the course, it is essential to carry out the laboratory practices and obtain through reports delivery at least a grade of 5 out of 10.
Those students who do not pass the laboratory practices through the delivery of reports must take a specific written test.
The final grade will be obtained by applying the assessment percentages specified above in the non-continuous assessment system.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The final mark of this call will be obtained by taking a final exam (85%) and the grade obtained from the laboratory practices (15%) will be taken into account.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same as in the extraordinary call
