VII.-Assessment methods VII.A.-Continuous assessment The evaluation system of degrees in the EEES framework is continuous assessment. In the continuous assessment system, class attendance is compulsory and its assessment within the process of continuous assessment will be established by the teachers in each subject. % Minimum class attendance: 80% (If a student is not allowed to sit for a test because he/she has attended less than 80% of the classes, this must be justified by using some type of proof) Only those evaluation activities used by the teacher in the assessment design should be indicated in the table, considering: Comments El mtodo para la obtencin de la calificacin final consistir en sumar el 40% de la media de los trabajos realizados, el 40% de la media de las aportaciones originales de cada grupo y el 20% de la calificacin de las prcticas y actividades propuestas. No haber obtenido ninguna calificacin en alguno de estos tres apartados implica el suspenso en la asignatura por no poder continuar con el proceso de evaluacin continua. En el caso de tener que someterse a evaluacin en la prueba de junio, la evaluacin de la asignatura consistir en la superacin de un examen global de la materia (tipo test, 50 preguntas verdadero falso, donde restan los errores y es necesario obtener un 5 para aprobar) junto con la presentacin de un trabajo cuyo tema ser indicado por el profesor, debiendo aprobarse ambas partes por separado. Este sistema de evaluacin ser aplicable a aquellos alumnos que soliciten dispensa acadmica.

VII.B.-Percentage for the assessment of part-time students To be assessed usung this method, the student should obtain "Academic Exemption" for the subject, applying for it to the Dean or Director of the Faculty/School in which the subject is taught."Academic Exemption" does not exclude students from continuous assessment. This kind of assessment will be decided by the teacher, assisted by the degree coordinator. The syllabus adaptation will be established in accordance with the characteristics of each specific case. VII.C.-Revision of the assessment tests A fundamental element in this new teaching-learning system and continuous assessment is the permanent feedback that students receive regarding their work. This entails giving students accurate, objective and immediate information concerning the results of their performance, in order to monitor their effort and regulate their work, at the same time that this information offers a motivating element.With this goal in mind, teachers will have to establish a revision procedure of the tests and activities, indicating in each case and depending on the characteristics, the way in which this revision will be carried out, either in the classroom or during the subject tutorial.
