VII.-Assessment methods

VII.A.-Assessment weighting

Continuous ordinary assessment:

The distribution and characteristics of the assessment tests are those described below. Only in exceptional case and for special
reasons may the teacher add changes to the Guide. These changes will require the prior consultation with the Subject Head and
the prior and explicit authorisation of the Degree Programme Coordinator, who will notify the Vice-Rector?s office in charge of
Academic Affairs of the modifications made. In any case, the changes proposed must take into account the stipulations of the
verified report. In order for these changes to take effect, they must be duly communicated at the start of the course to the
students using Aula Virtual.
The combination of activities that are not re-assessable cannot exceed 50% of the subject grade and, in general, cannot have a
minimum grade (except for the case of laboratory or clinical work placements, where duly justified), and tests which exceed 60%
of the subject weighting cannot be added.
Extraordinary assessment: Students who do not manage to pass the ordinary assessment, or who did not attend, will be
subject to completion of an extraordinary assessment to verify their acquisition of the skills established in the guide, only for
activities that are re-assessable.

Description of the tests for assessment and their weights.
