- Final Assessment System
- Tools and qualification percentages:
- Written test to be taken (%): 100
Ordinary Call: Orientations and DisclaimerToggle Navigation
Both in the partial (that will take place at the end of the first quarter) and in the final exams, there will be theoretical questions as well as problems to be solved. Students that pass the partial exam can choose not to answer the questions corresponding to the material of the first quarter in the final exam. In that case, the mark of the partial exam will count 1/3 over the final mark, whereas the other 2/3 will be taken from the mark of the final exam. Students that do not pass the partial exam will have to perform the complete final exam. The mark for the students that perform the complete final exam will be given by the mark obtained in this exam. Failing to take the final call exam (ordinary call) is equivalent to waiving the call.
During the evaluation tests it is not allowed to use books, notes or notebooks, as well as any kind of mobile phone, computer or electronic devices. Only didactic material, devices or computer authorized by the teaching team may be used. If unethical or dishonest behaviour is detected the protocol dealing with academic ethics and prevention of fraudulent and dishonest behaviour in evaluation test and academic assessments in the UPV/EHU will be applied.
Extraordinary Call: Orientations and DisclaimerToggle Navigation
All students that take the resit exam will have to perform the complete exam, even if they had passed the partial exam. The extraordinary call exam counts 100% of the grade. Failure to take the exam (extraordinary call) is equivalent to waiving the call.
During the evaluation tests it is not allowed to use books, notes or notebooks, as well as any kind of mobile phone, computer or electronic devices. Only didactic material, devices or computer authorized by the teaching team may be used. If unethical or dishonest behaviour is detected the protocol dealing with academic ethics and prevention of fraudulent and dishonest behaviour in evaluation test and academic assessments in the UPV/EHU will be applied.
