Rules for evaluation

The subject evaluates the theoretical and practical knowledge with an equal percentage due to the character of the subject. In this sense, to make an average, both the named and the theoretical part (Exam, Questionnaires) and the practice will be taken into account. In this sense, a minimum grade of 5 is necessary in the final exam to pass the subject.
Beyond these two major blocks, the following should be considered:
- To pass the subject it is necessary to obtain a final average higher than 5.
- No grade for any activity included in the evaluation below a grade of 4 is average. In the case of the final exam, the minimum grade to make an average is a 5.
- No work submitted after the deadline is accepted.
- Missing spelling, grammar and layout will be noted, and may lead to the suspension of a work. More than 15 misspellings involve suspense.
- Plagiarism involves suspending any work with a 0. A second plagiarism by the same student involves the suspension of the subject without the right to recovery.
- There is no recovery for the internship part of the subject. If the average is less than 4, this means the suspension of the subject.

Identification of plagiarism is considered a serious circumstance that may lead to a failing grade in the subject. In case of detection of plagiarism, the coordination of the degree will be informed so that the corresponding disciplinary measures can be taken.
