Assessment
Attendance: The continuous assessment regime requires 75% attendance in classes, except for students with the right to a special attendance regime. Students who do not meet the minimum number of classes attended can only be assessed during the appeal period, except in situations involving students in special attendance regimes.
Continuous assessment: two individual works. Individual work 1 - 30% Summary report on each of the program contents. Individual work 2 70% Summary report on each of the program contents. Both works based on theoretical foundations and with a final global reflection.
Final assessment regime exam: Two individual works identical to those mentioned in the continuous assessment. Students whose final classification is equal to or greater than 10 are considered approved. Obtaining any classification lower than 8 points in one of the works implies failure to pass the continuous assessment regime or the exam regime.
