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:
During the course there will be three kinds of tests:
1. Lab Assignments and Sessions (25%)
2. Assessment of active participation and on-site learning process (20%)
3. Assessment of reports, tasks and/or problems (25%)
The remaining 30% of the grade could be gotten through the regular session exam which will consist of the resolution of problems, questions and cases.
NOTE: Grades obtained in previous years will NOT be kept in any case.
IMPORTANT: To pass this course, the student needs to get 50 up to 100 points in this course, being a requirement to get at minimum 40% of the points in the final test/exam of the course. If this condition holds the final grade will be the (accordingly weighted) average of all the partial grades gotten; otherwise the student will fail the course and will have a grade no higher than 40 points even if the overall grade obtained was another, 50 points or more included.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:
Any student could move from continuous evaluation to the non-continuous modality, as long as they have not participated during the course in assessable activities which jointly imply 50% of the total assessment or more. If this is the case (the student did not participate in 50% or more of assessable activities), then they will be assessed using 100% of the final grade, without keeping any grade previously obtained during continuous evaluation.
If a student has reached this 50% of assessable activities and if, in any case, the classes period has already finished, this will be considered as continuous evaluation without the possibility of changing the modality to this one.
In the non-continuous evaluation modality, there will be three tests (theory, practical and case resolution). In order to pass the course, a minimum of 30% of the corresponding points must be obtained in each of the above mentioned tests. The final grade of the course, if the above condition is met, will be the weighted average of all grades obtained and the course will be passed if 50 points or more are obtained; otherwise the student will fail the course and will have a grade no higher than 40 points even if the overall grade obtained was another, 50 points or more included.
NOTE: Grades obtained in previous years will NOT be kept in any case.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In the resit/retake evaluation modality, there will be three tests (theory, practical and case resolution). In order to pass the course, a minimum of 30% of the corresponding points must be obtained in each of the above mentioned tests. The final grade of the course, if the above condition is met, will be the weighted average of all grades obtained and the course will be passed if 50 of the points or more are obtained; otherwise the student will fail the course and will have a grade no higher than 40 points even if the overall grade obtained was another, 50 points or more included.
NOTE: Grades obtained in previous years will NOT be kept in any case
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The student will be evaluated by means of test(s) with questions of theory, practice (lab sessions) and problems resolution, being this part compulsory for those students who did not previously pass the course. This/these test(s) will be graded to get up to 100% of the final grade.
NOTE: Grades obtained in previous years will NOT kept at any case.
