Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

Each part of the course may have different assessment processes but all together will make the final mark of the course.

Each of these parts (or units) will use different methodologies for the conclusive mark. Therefore, each outcome within the continuous assessment of the subject (which may include knowledge tests as a continuous assessment methodology), and the final exam will conform the final mark of the course.

The final mark will be proportionally divided as follows:

  • Continuous assessment: 50%
  • Final exam: 50%

Continuous assessment will consist of:

  • On-line questionnaires
  • Midterms and / or written tests
  • Work papers and Cases Resolution
  • Attendance and resolution of the case method in class
  • On-line exercises
  • Critical readings

To be part of the average with the final exam, continuous assessment must be passed with a minimum mark of 4. Those units that are not assessed with a final exam have to be passed with a least a 5 during the continuous assessment.

The students must pass all Units with at least a 5 in order to average them and pass the course. If the student does not pass one of the units either (continuous assessment or the exams), there will be stablish a way to retake that part, keeping the mark of the other passed units.

In the 1st resit, the marks of the passed units will still be part of the average so they do not have to be retaken. In first resit, students will do a project to retake the continuous assessment.. Maximum mark when retaken will be a 5. For failed final exams, student will have to retake another exam in first resit.

On 2nd and 3rd resits the course will be assessed with the same system as in the examination and 1st resit. Other year's marks will not have any value in the subsequent resits.

Honours will not be awarded in first resit.
