Competences for this subject will be assessed through four learning evidences.
Students who have submitted learning evidences with a weighting equal to or greater than 4 (40%) cannot be indicated as \"non-evaluable\".
Students will be deemed to have passed the subject if, in the group of the four evidences submitted, they obtainfa grade equal to o greater than 5, and if in evidences 1, 3 and 4 they have obtained a grade of at least 4 on 10.
Students may opt for re-assesment if (1) they have previously been assessed for a set of activities the weighting of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total subject grade, and (2) they has not fulfilled the two established criteria established to pass the subject. In case of not meeting these requirements the maximum grade to consign in the academic transcript will be 4.5 points.
Evidences 1, 3 and 4 can be re-assessed. When calculating the final overal grade for the subject, grade obtained in re-assessing evidences will replaced that originally obtained for this evidence.This subject does not provide for the single assessment.
