CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

The continuous assessment consists of several activities. If the student can not do them in the fixed date, this activity will not be evaluated. The grades of these activities will be valid only for the present academic course. 

If the student sits for "Exam 1", she/he will be evaluated by continuous assessment. Furthermore, once the student has taken this exam, she/he will be considered to have attended this examination call. Qualification will be computed using the following criteria with no consideration if she/he takes the final exam or not. 


Types and assessment of activities:
  1. Exam 1 (Weight: 15%): weeks 7-8. It includes the subjects explained until this week.
  2. Tests  (Weight: 7.5%):  developed  along the course on the faitic website.
  3. Exam of practices (Weight: 7.5%):  week 6-7.
  4. Short answer exam (Weight: 5%):  week 13. 
    It includes several subjects.
  5. Lab project report (Weight: 15%):  weeks 13 and 14.
  6. Exam 2 (Weight: 50%): on the date of the final exam. It includes all the subjects, except those evaluated in the Exam 1 and the contents of lab projects.

In order to ensure that students acquire a balanced minimum on the subject competences, they will pass the course if they meet these two conditions:

1) get a final mark equal to or greater than 5 (on a ten-points scale) 

2) and a score equal to or greater than 3.5 (on a ten-points scale) in each one of these two sets:

* assessment of sound-related scores

* assessment of image-related scores

If this second condition is not fullfilled, although global mean is equal or greater than 5, qualification will be stated in the records as "fail" (4).

Results for all assessment items will be announced as soon as possible.

Students will be evaluated by means of an only exam, in the official date, if they don't do the  “Exam 1”.  The grades for this final exam are between 0 and 10 points. It  includes all the subjects of the course, including the laboratory works.
