8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Progress Tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | The evaluation of these tests will consist of exams or progress tests. exams or progress tests.Those students who do not pass one or pass one or more of these partial tests those students who do not pass one or more of these partial tests will recover them in the ordinaryy exams. |
| Practical exam | 30.00% | 0.00% | The evaluation will consist of an exam of the practices carried out. Those students who do not pass these practices will be able to recover them in the ordinary call. |
| Final test | 0.00% | 100.00% | This test will be taken by those students whose evaluation is not continuous, examining all the mid-term exams, including the practicals. The percentage distribution will be the same as the one applied in the continuous evaluation (in the progress and practice tests). |
| 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:The final grade will be the sum of the grades obtained in the different progress tests and the practical exam. In order to pass the course, students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5, and the average of all the grades of the progress tests with a grade equal to or higher than 4 can be taken.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:In the final test, students will be examined on the subject blocks failed in the continuous evaluation process, needing to pass the subject with a grade equal to or higher than 5.0.
