Evaluation

 

 Learning outcome   Evaluation system  Weight (%)   Possibility of resit 
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, ENAEE-1   Written exam on the calculus concepts.  At least 3 points out of 10  are required in this exam to pass the subject in the continuous evaluation.  43 %  YES
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, ENAEE-1   Written exam on the algebra concepts.  At least 3 points out of 10  are required in this exam to pass the subject in the continuous evaluation.  42 %  YES
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, ENAEE-1  Individual assignment.  15 %  NO

 

In case of not getting at least 3 points out of 10 in the written exams corresponding to the continuous evaluation, the student should go to the resit exam if wishing to pass the subject.

The resit evaluation is made through a unique written exam that corresponds to algebra and calculus. It represents the 85 % of the final grade. The students not passing the subject in the continuous evaluation are allowed to take this exam.

The students passing the subject in the continuous evaluation can improve their grade by taking the resit exam.

If a student takes at most one of the written exams (either algebra or calculus) will have the condition of "No presentado".
