Assessment methods (Instruments, criteria and percentages)

Ordinary assessment session

The evaluation will be carried out mainly from the exams. Additional consideration will be given to the individual solution of problems and/or tasks, from which the students will demonstrate the acquired knowledge and understanding.

  • In the ordinary call, the final exam grade will constitute 70% of the grade (A), and the remaining 30% (B) will be evaluated in a complementary way according to one or more of the following criteria: participation in class, submission of problems and/or tasks, oral or written assessments,...
  • To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain at least 4 points (out of 10) in the final exam grade.

Extraordinary assessment session

  • Final exam with theoretical questions and problems, related to the subject taught in class.
  • As a general rule, the exam will correspond to 100% of the grade. However, upon student request, the exam will count towards 70% of the grade, with the remaining 30% corresponding to the grade obtained in part B of the ordinary call. In this case, it will be necessary to obtain at least 4 points (out of 10) in the final exam grade.

Single final assessment

  • Those students who, following the Regulations of the UGR with terms and deadlines that are required therein, take advantage of this evaluation modality, will carry out the final evaluation only.
  • It will consist of an exam involving theoretical questions and/or problems.
