Eligibility for exams

Classes are subject to verification of attendance. Students who miss more than 25% of predicted classes will not be subject to assessment.

Calculation formula of final grade

In the evaluation of the curricular unit the following components are weighted:
a) classroom presentation of an analysis of a text (work group) - 20%;
b) classroom presentation of a training plan for the studied work activity (work group) - 40%;
c) writing a theoretical synthesis - 40%.
The final classification is obtained by weighting the evaluation components outlined above.
The ratings in each of the components and the final classification will be communicated to students on a scale of 0 to 20.

 

Observations

Special situations concerning the evaluation will be discussed with the teaching team at the beginning of the UC.

Considering the recommendations for the attendance of teaching and non-teaching activities in physical presence, and in the impossibility of guaranteeing the attendance of all teaching activities of the 1st semester of 2020/2021 in the current pandemic context, due to the lack of physical facilities capable of safely accommodating the number of students in this cycle of studies, the theoretical component of this UC will take place remotely, with synchronous moments, making use of videoconference means.
