Evaluation

1. MODALITY OF ORDINARY ASSESSMENT:CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

This system combines the continuous assessment of the practical part and also of the theoretical part with a theoretical examination.

1.1 Practice.

Only people who have not missed more than 3 sessions of theoretical class or 3 sessions of practical class can apply.


The grade corresponding to the continuous evaluation of the practical activities will be the one obtained in an ORAL PRACTICAL CASE, with five answer questions, with a value of 2.5 POINTS and in a BASIC TEST - V/F - ORAL with a value of 2.5 POINTS. The wrong answer means discounting half of the correct answer. Every four blank answers means the loss of a correct answer.


1.2 Theoretical Examination

Only people who have not missed more than 3 sessions of theoretical class or 3 sessions of practical class may take the exam.

This exam will be ORAL and around two topics of the program. VALUE: 5 POINTS.



1.3 Grade of the subject

The score obtained through the continuous practical assessment will have a value of 50% of the subject's grade. The score of the theoretical exam will have a value of 50% of the grade of the subject.

It is necessary to pass each of the two activities of the practical block and only then will they be added to pass the practical part with the minimum grade of 2.5 points. Only in this case, the grades obtained in each of both parts, that is, theory and practice, may be added.


If this minimum score is not achieved in one of the parts: the grade that will be entered in the record will be "failed" and the numerical value will be that corresponding to the failed part, expressed in the parameter 0-10.


Consequently, the passing of the subject will be obtained once 2.5 points have been achieved in each of the parts, and only in this case both scores are added, with the minimum grade being 5 out of 10.
