Approval in this curricular unit (9.5 points or more, out of 20) can be achieved through any of the two possible modalities:
(PA) Periodic Assessment:
- Three in-class mini-tests (10%), at the beginning of certain lectures. Among these, only the best two grades count (5% each); a minimum grade of 10.0 points (out of 20) in the average of the best two mini-tests is required.
- Three online quizzes (15%), performed in the e-learning platform Moodle. The average of those three evaluations counts towards the final grade (5% each); a minimum grade of 10.0 points (out of 20) in the average is required.
- Final exam (75%): written Exam in the 1st or 2nd examination period; minimum grade required: 8.0 points (out of 20).
(EA) Exam Assessment:
- a Final Exam (100%) in the 1st or 2nd examination period.
1. A student is excluded from the Periodic Assessment modality, automatically switching to the Exam Assessment modality, if the average of the three quizzes or the average of the best two mini-tests is less than 10.0 points (out of 20).
2. If the grade obtained in the Final Exam is greater than the grade obtained in the Periodic Assessment, then the modality automatically switches to Exam Assessment. (That is, the best of the two grades is the one that prevails.)
3. Online quizzes rules:
- Three quizzes, throughout the term, using the e-learning platform Moodle.
- The quizzes can be taken anytime during specific 72 hour (minimum) slots, opportunely communicated to the students, but once initiated they have a maximum duration of 30 minutes.
- Each student has a single attempt to answer each test.
- The final quizzes' grade will be the average of the 3 quizzes.
4. Evaluation during the special season ("época especial") is performed exclusively through the Exam Assessment modality.
5. Repeating students have the same assessment modalities, subject to the same rules.
6. The instructors reserve the right to conduct oral examinations to students obtaining a grade greater or equal to 17, as well as to students who have taken exams online.
