8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Final test 40.00% 40.00% Final exam. Compulsory and recoverable activity to be carried out on the date scheduled for the final exams of the ordinary call
Theoretical papers assessment 15.00% 15.00% Non-mandatory and recoverable activity to be performed before the end of the teaching period
Laboratory sessions 30.00% 30.00% Compulsory and recoverable activity to be carried out during the teaching period
Assessment of active participation 15.00% 15.00% Non-mandatory and recoverable activity to be done in the theory/laboratory sessions. Non-continuous mode students will be evaluated of this activity through an alternative system in the ordinary call
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 the compulsory activities a minimum of 4 out of 10 must be obtained to consider the activity passed and to be able to approve the course. The evaluation of the activities will be global and, therefore, must be expressed by means of a single grade. In the recoverable activities there is an alternative evaluation exam in the extraordinary call.

    The final exam will be common for all the theory/laboratory groups of the course and will be graded by the teachers of the course in a horizontal way, that is, each part of the final exam will be evaluated by the same teacher for all the students.

    The student approves the course if he/she obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100 with the evaluations of each evaluation activity and passes all the mandatory activities.

    For students who do not approves the course in the ordinary call, the grade of the activities passed will be kept for the extraordinary call. If an activity is not recoverable, its evaluation will be kept for the extraordinary call even if it has not been passed. In the case of passed recoverable activities, the student will be able to take the alternative evaluation of those activities in the extraordinary call and, in that case, the final grade of the activity will correspond to the last grade obtained.

    The grade of the activities passed in any call, except for the final exam, will be kept for the next academic year at the student's request as long as it is equal or higher than 5 and the training activities and evaluation criteria of the subject are not modified in the next academic year.

    Failure to appear for the final exam will result in a grade of "Not presented" ("No Presentado"). If the student has not passed any mandatory evaluation activity, the final grade in the course cannot exceed 4 out of 10.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Students who are unable to regularly attend the on-site training activities may request, at the beginning of the course, to take the non-continuous evaluation mode. Similarly, if a student who is taking the continuous evaluation mode, incurs in any circumstance that prevents him/her from regularly attending the classroom training activities, he/she may apply for the non-continuous evaluation mode. In this case, notification must be given before the date scheduled for the exams of the ordinary call, according to a deadline that will be informed at the beginning of the semester.

    Students who choose the non-continuous evaluation modality will be graded globally, in 2 annual calls, one ordinary and one extraordinary, evaluating 100% of the competencies, through the evaluation systems indicated in the column "Non-continuous evaluation".

    In the "non-continuous" evaluation modality there is no obligation to keep the grade obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress or partial) that he/she has taken in the continuous evaluation modality.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Evaluation tests will be conducted for all recoverable activities.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same characteristics as in the extraordinary call.
