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 types of tests:
1. Laboratory practices (25%).
2. Evaluation of the participation in class (10%) (Not recoverable).
3. Partial tests (50%)
The remaining 15% will be obtained by means of a last partial test to be carried out during the official exam of the course that will consist of the resolution of theory questions and practical cases.
NOTE: Any grade obtained in previous courses will not be retained.
IMPORTANT: To pass the course the student must obtain a 50 out of 100 in the course, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 30 points out of 100 in each of these three blocks of tests: theory, practical and problem solving (including work); if this condition is met, the final grade of the course will be the weighted average of all grades 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.

Non-continuous evaluation:
By default, the student will be evaluated by continuous evaluation. If you wish to change to non-continuous evaluation, you must indicate it through the following link https://www.esiiab.uclm.es/alumnos/evaluacion.php before the end of the academic period of the four-month period provided that you have not participated during the period of classes in evaluable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total evaluation of the subject; in this case, the student will be evaluated on 90 points and no grade obtained in the continuous evaluation will be retained.
If a student has reached that 50% of evaluable activities or if, in any case, the class period has ended, he/she will be considered in continuous evaluation without the possibility of changing the evaluation mode.
There will be a test with theory, practical and problem solving (including project) questions and the student will be evaluated on 90 points. To pass the course the student must obtain 50 points out of 90 in the course, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 30 points out of 100 in each of these three blocks of tests: theory, practical and problem solving (including the project); if this condition is met, the final grade of the course will be the weighted average of all grades 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: No grade obtained in previous courses will be retained.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
By default, the student will be evaluated by continuous evaluation. If you wish to change to non-continuous evaluation, you must indicate it through the following link https://www.esiiab.uclm.es/alumnos/evaluacion.php before the end of the academic period of the four-month period provided that you have not participated during the period of classes in evaluable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total evaluation of the subject; in this case, the student will be evaluated on 90 points and no grade obtained in the continuous evaluation will be retained.
If a student has reached that 50% of evaluable activities or if, in any case, the class period has ended, he/she will be considered in continuous evaluation without the possibility of changing the evaluation mode.
In the resit/retake evaluation modality, there will be a test with theory, practical and problem solving questions (including project) and the student will be evaluated on 90 points. To pass the course the student must obtain 50 points out of 90 in the course, being necessary to obtain a minimum of 30 points out of 100 in each of these three blocks of tests: theory, practical and problem solving (including the project); if this condition is met, the final grade of the course will be the weighted average of all grades 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: No grade obtained in previous courses will be retained.
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.
