Assessment activities: Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject Assignments Delivery and correctness of the proposed assignments 50 No Final exam Correctness of the solutions to questions and exercises of the final exam 50 Yes
- Assignments: 50% (non recoverable) - Final exam: 50% (recoverable), minimum of 4/10 Specific criteria for the "No show" grade: An "absent" mark (NP) will be given to those students who have not delivered the proposed assignments or the final exam. Single Assessment: Single-evaluation is not possible in this course Minimum requirements to pass: The minimum mark to pass the course is 5/10. The final mark will be calculated according to the indicated percentages for each activity type if the mark of the final exam is, at least, 4/10.
Tutorships can be either face-to-face or on-line (via GoogleMeet or any other platform approved by UdG). Electronic mail can be also used to solve questions or doubts and set tutorship appointments out of the specified times frames.
Communication with students will be via e-mail and the News forum of the course’s Moodle. Individual on-line and face-to-face meetings will be possible for a personalised monitoring.
