8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | Two partial exams: one in the middle of the semester that releases matter for the ordinary call if your grade is equal to or greater than 4, and another within the final exam. |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 0.00% | Carrying out laboratory practices: Attendance at the laboratory, carrying out the practices and preparing a report is an essential requirement to pass the subject. If a grade lower than 4.0 is obtained, in an extraordinary call the student must take an additional exam on laboratory practices. |
| Assessment of active participation | 15.00% | 0.00% | Evaluation activities such as questionnaires, problems,... developed or proposed in the classroom |
| Final test | 0.00% | 100.00% | Final exam for non-continuous assessment |
| 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 exam will consist of two differentiated partial exams, those students with a grade equal to or greater than 4 in the first partial exam may only take the second partial exam. If the final exam mark or the average of the partial exams, and the laboratory mark are both equal to or greater than 4, the course grade will be determined based on the percentages in the previous table (70% exam + 15% laboratory +15% participation), otherwise the mark that will appear in the minutes will be that of the exam or 4 in the event that the mark of the exam is greater than 4.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:In this modality, the evaluation will be carried out based on the final exam scheduled by the School, which will include a laboratory part for those students who have not passed the practicals in the last two years.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
There will be a global exam of all the subject. Those students with a grade of less than 4 in the laboratory must take an additional test on the contents and procedures worked on in the laboratory, which must be passed with a grade equal to or greater than 4, in order to pass the subject. The grade for the course will be 85% of the overall exam grade plus 15% of the laboratory grade.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The evaluation will be carried out exclusively with the exam programmed by the School for this purpose, which will have a laboratory part for those students who have not passed the practices.
