Other comments on the Evaluation

Following the guidelines of the degree two
evaluation systems will be offered: continuous assessment or final exam.

Continuous assessment

Continuous assessment includes the following tasks performed approximately in the week indicated:

  • Classroom work: four short checks carried out in practical hours (weeks 4, 9,
    12 and 14) weighing 5%, 5%, 5% and 10%, respectively.
  • Test: two quizzes. The
    first half of the quarter, with a weight of 25%, and the second at the end,
    weighing 10%.
  • Problem solving:
    two exams. The
    first half of the quarter, with a weight of 20% and the second at the end, with
    a weight of 20%.

To pass the subject by this evaluation
system, 1/3 of the maximum score of each item in the above table must be
obtained and 50% minimum of the global score (sum of the three blocks) must be
reached.

These tasks are not
recoverable
, ie if a student cannot fulfill on time the teacher has no
obligation to repeat them and will only
be valid for the academic year in which they are made
.

The students must decide if they choose the ongoing evaluation after the
realization of the first test of problem solving, in which case they receive a
grade that corresponds, independently that they present to other tasks or
not. Failure to submit to this test implies that the evaluation choice is by
final exam. If the score is high as 50% without getting 1/3 in some of the
items, the official grade will be 4.5.

Evaluation by final exam

In addition to the continuous assessment system described above, the
student may choose to perform one final exam that will have three parts:

  • Part I: test on measurement practices (10%) and
    information search exercise (5%).
  • Part II: questions (35%).
  • Part III: problem solving (50%).

Second chance

It consists of a final exam with the same characteristics and weights as
indicated in the previous section.

Students who have opted for the continuous
assessment system may keep the grade (classroom work, test or problem) in which
they have exceeded the required minimum.

To pass the subject at least 50% in the total qualification must be
obtained in any of the evaluation systems and calls.
