Other comments on the Evaluation

Following the policy guidelines of the Center, the students can choose between two systems of evaluation: continuous evaluation and evaluation at the end of the term.

In all the evaluation tests, the competences CG3, CE1 and CE3 will be evaluated.

1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION. 


  • The system of continuous evaluation (EC) will consist of: 


    • a) A problem solving test that will be taken around the 4th week of the term. The qualification will be  ECa, with maximum score of 0.5 points. 

    • b) A multiple choice test  that will be taken around the 8th week of the term. The qualification will be  ECb, with maximum score of 0.5 points.

    • c) a problems/questions solving test on units/topics 1, 2 and 3 of he syllabus. It will be taken around the 8th week of the term. The effective qualification will be  ECc=(4-ECa-ECb)·X/10, where X is the score of this last test in a range from 0 to 10. 


  • The final qualification of the continuous evaluation (EC) will be obtained as EC1=ECa+ECb+ECc, with a maximum score of 4 points.  This way of qualification makes that the student arriving to the test "c" has as minimum Eca+Ecb and he/she can obtain up to 4 points with the test "c".  

  • Before the completion or delivery of the test, the date and procedure for the review of the obtained grades will be indicated. Students will have the option to know the status of the test and review the correction within a reasonable period of time.
  • This test is not recoverable, what means that if a student cannot fulfill it in the stipulated period and terms, teachers will not be committed to repeat it. 

  • The grade obtained in the continuous evaluation test (EC1) will be valid only for the current academic course.
  • It will be understood that a student follows the EC system whenever he takes any of the tests  "b" or "c" of the continuous evaluation.

2. END OF THE TERM EXAM

  • All the students must take this exam in order to pass the course on first call.
  • Students that did not follow the continuous evaluation: their final score will be that of the complete final exam (EF).
  • Students that followed the continuous evaluation:
    • They will take only the part of exam corresponding to topics 4 to 7 (EX2), that will be graded from 0 to 6 points and will be saved as the second part of the continuous evaluation (EC2) until the Recovery exam of July (EC2 = EX2).
    • The final score will be EF=EC1+EC2 


3. RECOVERY EXAM.

  • Students that did not follow the continuous evaluation: the final score will be that of the complete final exam (EF).
  • Students that followed the continuous evaluation.
    • The recovery exam will also be divided in two parts: EX1 (topics 1 to 3) with a  maximum value of 4 points, and EX2 (topics 4 to 7) with a maximum value of 6 points.
    • The students that followed the continuous evaluation will choose to do: only EX1, only EX2, or both parts. The final grade will be: EF = max(EX1, EC1) + max(EX2, EC2), being EX1 and EX2 the grades obtained in each part of the recovery exam, and EC1, EC2 as described before.

4. NOTES

  • It is considered that a student has taken the course when he/she has followed the continous evaluation or has taken any of the two exams (end of term exam or recovery exam). If an student who followed continuous evaluation does not take any of the other two exams (end of term/recovery) he/she will be graded with EC1.
  • In order to pass the course, students must receive a grade of 5 or above.
