Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Tutored works	The evaluation of a team work will be done through the collection of evidences and/or tests during its developement, at personal and group levels, a final report and a presentation and/or test about the work. A final report will be delivered to the teacher around the 13th week of the teaching period. The precise date will be established at the beginning of this period. In order to pass this course a minimum score will be required in the tutored work as explained in the section “Other comments and July evaluation”.	50		B4 B6	C34 C38	D2
Short answer tests	Final exam with several questions referred to the contents of the subject. In order to pass this course a minimum score will be required in the final exam as explained in the section “Other comments and July evaluation”.	50		B4 B6	C34 C37 C38	D2

Other comments on the Evaluation
The previously proposed evaluation method will apply to students who follow the recommended continuous evaluation (C.E.) procedure.In order to not handicap his potentia lteam mates,the student will have a brief period to decide whether or not follows the C.E. procedure (as an orientation,the first two weeks of the semester). Students attending only the final exam may obtain the maximum grade in the subject. However, these students will have to answer some additional questions related to the proposed team works in order to demonstrate that they have acquired the same skills that students following C.E. The July evaluation will consist of a final exam, but students who followed C.E. may choose to keep the grade obtained in the team work instead of answering the additional questions related to these works. Students will pass the course if they get a final mark equal to or greater than 5 (on a ten-points scale) and a score equal to or greater than 4 (on the same scale) in both the tutored work and the final exam. The individual mark of the tutored work will be obtained as the sum of the mark of the individual tests (30% of the grade of the tutored work) and the mark obtained jointly by the group (70%), although the latter will be weighted according to the results of the cross-evaluations and the teacher's opinion about the student's personal contribution to the group work. Normally the weighting factor will be 1, although factors less than 1 will be applied to students that hinder the normal progress of the group or show poor participation or understanding in the tasks of the supervised work. Likewise, the teacher will be able to reward those students who stand out significantly for their contribution to the team work with a weighting factor of up to 1.2, especially in case of unexpected difficulties. Just in case a student has no grade on the tutored work, or chooses to leave it out at the second call in July, the score obtained in the group of questions related to the tutored work will be considered the grade on the tutored work and the score on the remaining questions will be the final-exam grade. The final mark will be calculated as the sum of the previous scores (tutored work and final exam) achieving 4 points, and dividing this sum by two. In case of not achieving the required 4 points in both parts, the maximum final mark will be 4. If both marks are below 4, the final grade will be the lowest of both marks divided by two.
