Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The evaluation of the subject is based on a continuous assessment through different tests and activities in which the students will have to demonstrate that they have achieved the corresponding competences and learning outcomes. 

For each of the following evaluation activities, its weight in the final grade, the duration of the test and when it is carried out are indicated:

• EV1. Learning Evidence 1 (compulsory): Written individual test (multiple-choice, open questions and/or short questions). Topics covered in master, seminar and workshop classes on Units 1, 2 and 3 (40% of final grade, 1.5h, first evaluation period).
• EV2. Learning Evidence 2 (compulsory): Written individual test (multiple-choice, open questions and/or short questions). Topics covered in master, seminar and workshop classes on Units 4, 5 and 6 (40% of final grade, 1.5h, second evaluation period).
• EV3. Learning Evidence 3 (optional): Sef-assessment activities on the Moodle platform. Individual test (10%) .

The subject offers the possibility of SINGLE EVALUATION (see link at the end for information on regulations, application, deadline), which means waiving continuous assessment and implies the completion of EV1 and EV2 (mandatory) and Ev3 (optional) evidence on a single date. The date of completion and delivery will correspond to the date of the second assessment period. The description, weight and face-to-face duration of the evidence are the same as those explained in sections 1 – 3 above. The same recovery process will be applied as for continuous assessment (see the following section e). THE SINGLE EVALUATION IS REQUESTED ONLINE (E-FORM) IN THE SPECIFIC PERIOD (more information on the Faculty website).

The subject does not offer the possibility of taking a synthesis test.

Translations of assessment tests may be requested if the requirements established in Article 263 are met and the request is submitted electronically during week 4 (e-form). More information is available on the faculty website. In any case, the teaching team will decide whether or not the translations are appropriate.

The evaluation criteria will be the following:

a) Provision of compulsory learning evidences, EV1 and EV2.

b) Students providing learning evidences with a weight equal to orgreater than 40% will be considered evaluable.

c) The final grade will be calculated based on the weighted average of all the assessment activities carried out.

d) To pass the subject, a weighted average (of all provided evidences) equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 is required, with a minimum of 3.5 points in each of the 2 compulsory evidences (EV1 and EV2). Otherwise, the maximum grade in the course will be 4.5.

e) Students who have completed the compulsory evidences (EV1 and EV2) but obtained a continuous assessment grade (EV1 + EV2 + EV3) below 5 points and equal to or greater than 3.5 points out of 10 will be eligible to take a re-assessment test. The test will involve repeating one or both of the compulsory learning evidences, typically the one with the lower grade. The passing criterion for the re-assessment will be the same as in section d, replacing the grade of the recovered evidence. If the subject is passed in the re-assessment, the maximum possible numerical mark will be 7 out of 10.
