Assessment methods (Instruments, criteria and percentages)

Ordinary assessment session

The evaluation will be carried out mainly from the exams; additionally, the realization of problems and tasks proposed to be solved individually will be considered, by means of which the students will have to demonstrate the acquired knowledge and understanding.

  • Passing any of the tests will not be achieved without a thorough and balanced knowledge of all the material.
  • In the ordinary call, the final exam grade will constitute 70% of the grade, and the remaining 30% will be evaluated in a complementary way according to: participation in class, delivery of work and/or problems, oral or written assessments  
  • To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain at least 3 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.
  • In extraordinary call, the final exam grade will constitute 100% of the 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 a theory and / or exam problems.
