8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Laboratory sessions | 30.00% | 30.00% | Students must attend the practical sessions and hand in the required report on each of the practical sessions in due time and form. As this is a compulsory activity, a minimum of 40% of the grade must be achieved in order to pass the course. This activity can only be recovered when, for duly justified reasons, the teaching staff deems it necessary to extend the deadline or to take a practice exam. These recuperations will only be allowed if the student has reached the minimum qualification required in the rest of the assessed activities (mid-term or final exams). The internship grade will be retained for two successive academic years. |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | They will consist of two tests related to both theoretical aspects and practical application. Passing them will require achieving at least 40% of the maximum mark in each of the mid-term exams. They will be of an eliminatory nature. If the average mark between the mid-term exams passed is equal to or higher than 4 points out of 10, the practical grade will be taken into account and the subject will be passed if the mark obtained is is higher than 5 points. |
| Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | It will consist of a test related both to theoretical and practical aspects and practical application, which will be structured as two partial tests. Passing the test will require at least 40% of the maximum mark in each of the parts into which it is divided. If the average mark between the parts passed is equal to or higher than 4 points out of 10, the grade for the practical part will be taken into account and the course will be passed if the grade obtained is higher than 5 points. |
| 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:Students will have two mid-term exams which will be eliminatory, i.e. if they pass a mid-term exam, they will not have to sit the final exam.
In order to pass the course in the ordinary exams, a minimum of 40% of the maximum grade must be obtained in each of the mid-term exams and in the practicals, all of which are compulsory activities.
If this requirement is not met, even if the overall grade for the course, after taking the weighted average of all the parts that can be assessed is higher than 5 out of 10, the grade will be Failed (4). In the event that the weighted average does not reach 4, the grade will be that obtained from the weighted average of the weighted average of all the evaluable parts.
The recovery of the partial tests will be possible in the final exam, while the recovery of the practicals will be possible as detailed in the previous description above.
During the partial or final tests it is strictly forbidden to use any kind of electronic device (mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.), even if they are switched off, are strictly forbidden during the exam.
In case of non-compliance with this rule, the grade will be Fail (0), even if the terminal is switched off. This rule is applicable for all exam sessions. -
Non-continuous evaluation:For non-continuous assessment students, the criteria will be the same as for continuous assessment, except that the part of the assessment corresponding to the mid-term tests will be examined in a single final exam which will be structured as two partial tests and which will be subject to the same criteria as those established for the partial tests of the continuous assessment.
Passing the practicals is also compulsory and is subject to the same criteria as for the continuous assessment.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In the extraordinary exam session, the same criteria will be followed as in the ordinary exam session.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
In the special final exam session, the same criteria will be followed as those indicated for the extraordinary exam session.
