The system of Continuous Evaluation for this course is only possible for students with a minimum of 80% attendance (unless legally justified and confirmed by the Academic Board of Directors). 80% attendance means that a maximum of 20 hours may be missed in total.
The Final Continuous Evaluation consists of:
A) The January exam mark: 30% which covers the study period October to January (75% written and 25% oral). It is obligatory to sit both parts of the exam together (Oral+Written)
B) The May exam mark: 50% which covers the study period February to May. (75% written and 25% oral). It is obligatory to sit both parts of the exam together (Oral+Written)
C) Evaluated exercises, tasks, tests and student participation: 20% from October to May.
The January mark is part of the final evaluation mark in May (30%). A student who fails the January exam, continues the course and sits the Continuous May Exam.
The students who fail the Continuous Evaluation in May will be re-evaluated in the Continuous Global Re-sit Exam (Reevaluación), also in May which covers all the work studied from October to May (20% oral exam, 60% written exam, 20% exercises, tests, tasks and student participation)
The Continuous Evaluation students who do not have 80% attendance will be evaluated in a Continuous Global Re-sit Exam in May.
This exam includes all the work covered from October to May. (20% oral exam, 60% written exam, 20% exercises, tests, tasks and student participation). Due to the extent of the content to be examined, the duration of the Continuous Global Re-sit Exam will be longer than that of the Continuous Evaluation Exam.
