Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment consists of two written assignments, on topics agreed in advance with the lecturer, each contributing 40% of the final grade. For the second assignment, 30% of its mark derives from a mandatory oral presentation delivered in class.
Attendance and class participation account for the remaining 20% of the final grade.
Students who achieve a final mark of 10/20 or higher through continuous assessment are exempt from the examination.
Examination assessment (100%) also consists of two assignments, subject to prior agreement with the lecturer. As in continuous assessment, 30% of the mark for the second assignment is based on its oral presentation.
Any written or practical assessment may, where there are reasonable doubts regarding the authorship or authenticity of the work submitted, be subject to a supplementary assessment convened by the lecturer to clarify such doubts. Failure to attend this assessment, unless duly justified, or failure to provide the necessary clarification to confirm authorship or authenticity, may result in a review of the mark awarded, including the partial or total disregard of assessment elements whose authorship or authenticity cannot be verified. The mark obtained in the supplementary assessment shall prevail.
