To pass this subject, the student must get at least 40% of the points in each of the following sections:

- Group work (40% of the final grade)

- Individual tasks/assignments done and submitted during the semester (10% of the final grade).

- Written exam: 20% multiple choice questionnaire and 30% short questions.



Deadlines for assignments submission and evaluation will be defined during the course.

Tasks and assignments will be evaluated so the progress made by each student can be assessed.

In case the health situation forces the University to switch teaching to distance learning, the tasks and assignments will be submitted through available resources (eGela, BBC and e-mail), and the evaluation system will remain the same.

In any case, students have the right to opt for final evaluation regardless of having participated in the summative evaluation. To have access to final evaluation the student should manifest his/her decision to opt for this evaluation system to the responsible lecturer as stated in the applicable regulation. (Normativa reguladora de la Evaluación del alumnado de las titulaciones de grado. BOPV de 13 de marzo de 2017).

Final evaluation will include:

- All the topics addressed during the semester in the master classes, seminars and computer practices.

- As many tasks/exercises as needed for the student to demonstrate acquired competences and knowledge.

Will be provided during the course
