The course will consist of 3 exams: one for continuous assessment (in the middle of the course), two interactive face-to-face tests and a final exam.
Exams:
- all exams will be test type.
- each question will have 5 answers and only 1 correct.
- each wrong question will subtract 25% of the value of a correct answer.
- unanswered questions do not add or subtract.
ALL exams will average from the 5th .
The final mark of cardio-respiratory pathology will come out of the average of the 3 exams ( 2 assessment exam (20% each), and final exam (60%). A minimum grade of 5 is required to pass the course. Those who do not pass the continuous assessment exam and the interactive tests will NOT have the opportunity to take the final continuous assessment exam and will therefore go directly to the basic skills exam (recovery) in order to achieve an approved.
Only those students who have not passed the continuous assessment exam will be able to take the basic skills exam (recovery). Only 5 can be achieved in the BCE exam.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
A student who is not presented will be considered a student who does not appear in the continuous assessment or in the final assessment
