Grading
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.
This subject will be continuously assessed through Moodle quizzes (10%), oral presentations (30%) and the final exam (60%).
Note: A minimum score of 5 is required to obtain the weighted average score, which includes Moodle quizzes, oral presentations and the final theoretical exam. This average will be the overall score of the subject. If the student scores less than 5 on the theoretical exam, he/she will not be able to count the continuous assessment (Moodle quizzes and oral presentations) as part of their final mark. In this case, the student will have to sit the Basic Competences Exam (BCE).
Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
Students not attending to neither the continuous assessment nor the final assessment will be marked with a 'not seated' for the corresponding evaluation.
Single Assessment:
Those electing to follow the unique pathway will have both oral and theory exams in the official exam week. It´s required to receive an 5/10 or above for both exams.
Minimum requirements to pass:
A minimum grade of 5.0 will be required to pass the subject.
