Evaluation Methodology
The continuous assessment methodology comprises two components:
(i) a practical work (TP) which is divided into two parts(TP1 and TP2)and carried out at term time (the two parts of the work are delivered on dates to be defined with the students), with the minimum classification of 9 values quoted to 20 values and weighting 0.5 in the final classification (TP1 has the weighting of 0.2 and TP2 has the weighting of 0.3, i.e. TP=0.2xTP1+0.3xTP2).
(ii) One written examination (PE1), taken during the examination period, with a minimum classification of 9/20 and a weighting of 0.5 in the final classification.
The final classification (CF) corresponds to the sum of the classifications of the two weighted components: CF=0.5xPE1+0.5xTP.
The assessment methodology by examination, for those students who (in the frequency period) do not deliver the TP on the defined date or do not reach the minimum mark in the TP, includes a written examination (PE2), held in the examination period or in the fallback examination, with the minimum classification of 10 values quoted to 20: CF=PE2.
