8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 0.00% | Non-compulsory and non-recoverable activity to be carried out in the theory and / or laboratory sessions. |
| Test | 25.00% | 0.00% | Partial test 1. Compulsory activity and recoverable to be carried out at the end of the first half of the teaching period |
| Test | 25.00% | 0.00% | Partial test 2. Compulsory activity and recoverable to be carried out on the date scheduled for the final exams of the ordinary call. In this date the recovery will be made for the ordinary call of the test partial 1 |
| Laboratory sessions | 30.00% | 30.00% | Mandatory and recoverable activity to be performed in laboratory sessions |
| Final test | 0.00% | 50.00% | Mandatory and recoverable exam to be done the date of the ordinary call |
| Projects | 10.00% | 10.00% | Mandatory and recoverable activity at to be performed in laboratory sessions or theory sessions |
| Total: | 100.00% | 90.00% |
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 compulsory activities, a minimum of 4 out of 10 must be obtained to consider the activity passed and to be able to pass the course. The evaluation of the activities will be global and, therefore, must be expressed by means of a single note. If the activity consists of several sections, it can be assessed individually by informing in writing at the beginning of the course about the assessment criteria for each section. In recoverable activities there is an alternative assessment test in the extraordinary call.
The partial tests will be common for all the theory / laboratory groups of the subject and will be scored by the subject teachers horizontally, that is, each part of the partial tests will be evaluated by the same teacher for all the students. students.
The student passes the course if he obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100 with the evaluations of each evaluation activity and surpasses all the compulsory activities.
The qualification of the activities passed in any call, except for the separate partial tests, will be kept for the next academic year at the request of the student as long as it is equal to or greater than 50% and the training activities and evaluation criteria are not modified of the subject in the next academic year.
Failure to appear in either of the two partial tests during the final exam will result in the qualification of "Not presented". If the student has not passed any mandatory assessment activity, the final grade in the course cannot exceed 4 out of 10.
Students will only use the virtual campus forums as a means of expressing their doubts or queries of a general nature. They will only go to the teachers' email for individual questions. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Students who cannot regularly attend lessons
can request, at the beginning of the semester, to take advantage of the non-assessment modality
keep going. Similarly, if students who are taking the assessment modality
continues, incurs any circumstance that prevents them from regularly attending lessons, they can take advantage of the non-continuous assessment modality. In this
This case must be notified before the scheduled date for the ordinary call tests,
according to a deadline that will be reported at the beginning of the semester.
Students who take the non-continuous assessment mode will be graded
globally, in 2 annual calls, one ordinary and one extraordinary, evaluating the
100% of the competences, through the evaluation systems indicated in the column
¿Evaluation not continuous¿.
In the "non-continuous" evaluation mode, there is no obligation to keep the grade
obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress or partial) that have
carried out in a continuous evaluation mode.
In the non-continuous mode, the contents of the activity "Assessment of participation with use in class" will be evaluated by means of a written test on the same day as the official exam.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Evaluation tests will be carried out for all recoverable activities.
For students who do not pass the course in the ordinary call, the grade of the activities passed will be kept for the extraordinary call. In the case of recoverable activities passed, the student may appear for the alternative evaluation of those activities in the extraordinary call and, in that case, the final grade for the activity will correspond to the higher of the two grades obtained.
For students who do not pass the course in the ordinary call, the grade of the activities passed will be kept for the extraordinary call. In the case of recoverable activities passed, the student may appear for the alternative evaluation of those activities in the extraordinary call and, in that case, the final grade for the activity will correspond to the higher of the two grades obtained.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same characteristics as in the extraordinary call.
