Other comments and second call

The course will be taught in English. However, tests and tutoring can be done both in English and Spanish.

The grade wil be computed attending to two types of assessment: summative and continuous. In order to pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a grade of at least 50% . The final grade will be computed only if the student has a grade of at least 40% in every assignment and test. The sumative part will be assessed with at least a test, accounting for 50% of the total grade, which might contain both theoretical and practical questions. Specific software might be suitable and required to solve some of these questions.

As for the continuous assessment, the students will need to elaborate a portfolio, consisting of several assignments (to be done individually and /or in groups) which will be proposed along the term. This part will account for 50% of the total grade.

The grade of the second call will be the grade obtained in a theoretical-practical test. The grades obtained in the portfolio could be taken into account.

The use of any electronic device (cell phones, tablets, etc) allowing the student to have communication with other people will be forbidden while doing the tests, as well as any material not explicitly allowed by the professor. If a student breaks this rule, he will fail the exam and the Academic Authority of the Center will be informed so that they can follow the procedure approved by the Governing Council of the University on January 29th, 2015.

For the students of the DISTANCE modality of the Master's degree:

In reference to the proctoring programs used (SMOWL) during the exams of the official calls of the distance modality, the navigation in external pages to the exam itself, unless expressly indicated, may result in failure in that activity, at the discretion of the instructors.

In case of difficulties in the identification of the students, the instructor may require additional evaluation activities by videoconference. The conditions of these tests may be conditioned by connectivity, lighting, ...., being the students' responsibility to follow the indications received in this regard, a well as to protect their privacy, performing the exam in an appropriate environment (isolated, with good connection, lighting, ...). The recommendations for the students in the use of SMOWL can be found in this link: http://bit.ly/3ZrtxVs
