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:
For continuous assessment, the completion and delivery of all assessable and compulsory training activities will be proposed within a reasonable period of time and sufficiently separated from each other, which will be set by the lecturer. During the course, mid-term tests will be carried out which may partially or totally replace the written test performed in the final exam. The mark required for each of the assessable and compulsory training activities must reach a minimum of 40% of the grade for that activity. In order to pass the subject, a minimum mark of 5 points out of 10 will be required, after applying the percentages corresponding to each of the evaluable training activities.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:
Any student with difficulties in following the proposed development of the subject may change to the non-continuous assessment modality provided that the student has not participated during the period of classes in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject. In this case, it will be an essential requirement to deliver the compulsory and assessable training activities before taking the written test in the final exam. The knowledge acquired by the student during the course will be evaluated by means of a written test in official exams. The mark required in each of the compulsory and assessable training activities must reach a minimum of 40% of the grade for that activity. In order to pass the course, a minimum mark of 5 points out of 10 will be required, after applying the percentages corresponding to each of the assessable training activities.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
A final test will be carried out to assess all the competences to be acquired by the student, with theoretical and practical contents of the subject, regardless of whether a mid-term test has been passed. For the rest of the assessable and compulsory activities in which the student has obtained a minimum score of 40% of the grade, they will not be re-evaluated in the resit/retake exam, maintaining the grade of each activity. In order to pass the subject, a minimum score of 5 point out of 10 will be required, after applying the percentages corresponding to each of the evaluable training activities.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
A final test will be held in which all the competences to be acquired by the student will be assessed, with both theoretical and practical contents of the subject, including all the assessable activities.
