The SINGLE EVALUATION is an optional evaluation that will be carried out with the requirements and conditions established in the academic regulations. In any case, carrying out any of the tests that make up the continuous assessment implies waiving the single assessment and following up on the continuous assessment.

The tests that make up the single assessment will take place on the same day set by the Faculty for the exam or third test in the continuous assessment. The single assessment tests are made up of:

1st. The answer to a test questionnaire test. The value of this test will be 4 out of 10

2nd. The resolution of a practical case. The practical case will be made available to the students in advance and their resolution in writing will be provided by them on the day of the single test. The value of this test will be 2 out of 10.

3rd. The argued response to various theoretical questions. The value of this test will be 4 out of 10.

The same non-evaluable criterion will also be applied as for the continuous evaluation


For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information fencing, text correction or translations. The student will have to clearly identify which parts have been generated by this technology, specify the aspects and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The non-transparency of the use of AI in this evaluable activityis considered a lack of academic honesty and may entail a partial or total penalty in the activity grade, or major sanctions in serious cases.
