Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
Theorectical Exam Questions based on theorectical concepts during the course. 40 Yes

If handed in late the student will receive 0.
40 No
Practical Exam Short demonstration of practical knowledge. 20 Yes

Grading

A minimum grade of 5.0 (50%) will be required to pass the subject.
Nonattendance: Class attendance is compulsory.
Students must attend 80% of the practical class time both live and virtually.
Exceptions will only be made for those students who can certify having been hospitalized on the given day, or due to a relative passing away.
Failure to comply with 80% practical class attendance will require students to sit the Basic Competencies Exam (BCE).
Note: Late arrivals and early leavers will be documented, and count towards attendance.
This subject will consist of one practical exam, worth 20%, a case study worth 40% and a theory exam worth 40%.



Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
Student not having attended neither practical lectures nor the final exam will be considered as "No Presentado".

Single Assessment:
The evaluation system in EUSES - UdG is based, in general, in the continuous assessment. If the student wishes to take part in the unique pathway, he / she will need to request it in writing to the lecturer of the subject and the degree coordinator during the first two weeks of the Semester.
For the Unique Evaluation students - both theory and practical exams will take place during exam week 2022.
It is expected that Unique evaluation students submit a case study with the same deadline as all students. Failure to submit on time will lead to a 40% loss of the final mark.

Minimum requirements to pass:
A minimum grade of 5.0 (50%) will be required for both the practical and theory exam to pass the subject.
It is compulsory to pass both the theory and the practical exam with a score of 5.0 or above.
Failure to pass one of those exams will lead to BCE and a final mark maximum of 5.0.
