Referring to knowledge

Referring to abilities, skills

The teaching methodology for these topics is based on theory lectures with a practical component complemented by practical problem-solving classes, in which students must apply their theoretical knowledge to practical and real cases.

Groups for which teaching is provided in English also follow a different teaching methodology, and this is outlined in the corresponding course plan.

Assessment tests during the semester

— Activities carried out in class. The number and dates of examinations will be set out in the course plan at the beginning of the year. If the required conditions arise, the activities may be associated with teaching innovation sessions (flipped classroom) as part of the Faculty’s RIMDA project.

Final examination

The examination is divided into two parts:
— First part: 4 short-answer questions.
— Second part: 2 exercises similar to those completed in practical classes. 

The final grade is calculated according to the percentage weightings shown below:

• If the mark for the final examination is at least 4 out of 10, then the final grade for the subject is the highest of these two:
— the weighted average between the final examination mark (60%) and the assessed tests mark (40%);
— the final examination mark.

• If the final examination mark is below 4 out of 10, then the final grade for the subject is “Fail”.

Repeat assessment

Students who do not obtain a pass grade for the subject (including those awarded a grade of “Absent”) are entitled to repeat assessment, which takes place on the date set by the Academic Council. Repeat assessment consists of a final examination with the same structure as the final examination in the continuous assessment option. This examination is worth 100% of the final grade (the overall mark for continuous assessment activities is not taken into account).

Special groups

Students in the English-language group follow a specific methodology, the details of which are explained on the corresponding subject’s programme.

Examination-based assessment

Single assessment consists of a final examination that has the same structure as the final examination for the continuous assessment.

Repeat assessment

Students who do not pass the subject are entitled to repeat assessment on the date set by the Academic Council. Repeat assessment takes the same form as the standard single assessment option.

Special groups

Students in the English-language group follow a specific methodology, the details of which are explained on the corresponding subject’s programme.
