Evaluation
The course is evaluated based on 5 individual and personalized final exercises, one for each Teaching Unit, which account for 75% of the final grade for the course. The FINAL EXERCISE of a Teaching Unit is considered to have been successfully passed if a minimum of 5 correct answers is obtained out of a total of 10. A pass must be obtained in at least 4 of the 5 final exercises. If you do not pass any of them you will be given the opportunity during the recovery period to try again or to improve the grade obtained (only the highest grade will be recorded in the system).
In addition, at the end of the course, there will be an optional practical activity, in groups, that will account for 25% of the final grade for the course. IMPORTANT: The course’s practical activity cannot be retaken and has no recovery period. Therefore, if the practical activity is not carried out within the indicated period, the maximum grade that you can obtain for the subject will be 7.5 (assuming you obtain the maximum grade in each of the 5 subject tests).

The learning process is characterized by its flexibility, since, in the virtual learning environment, the structure of the school calendar and the diversity of multimedia resources which are made available to the student allows them to acquire knowledge in a self-regulated manner.
