Evaluación (instrumentos de evaluación, criterios de evaluación y porcentaje sobre la calificación final.)

Evaluación Ordinaria

According to the Rules of assessment and grading of the students of the University of Granada (latest modification approved by the Governing Board on 26th October 2016), the assessment of students’ academic performance will reflect public, objective and impartial criteria, and will preferably be continuous and ongoing.

It will be conducted an ongoing evaluation of student training in order to assess:

  • Active participation in discussion sessions and the degree of interest of the interventions: 10%
  • The resolution of exercises, presentations and case studies raised: 50%
  • Final written Exam: 40%: consisting in 4 questions related to theoretical and practical issues developed in lecturers.
  • Attendance to subject’ seminars is compulsory.

Evaluación Extraordinaria

Article 19 of the UGR Assessment Policy and Regulations establishes that students who have not passed a course in the ordinary assessment session (convocatoria ordinaria) will have access to an extraordinary assessment session (convocatoria extraordinaria). All students may take part in this extraordinary assessment session, regardless of whether or not they have followed continuous assessment activities. In this way, students who have not carried out continuous assessment activities will have the opportunity to obtain 100% of their mark by means of an exam and/or assignment.


Students who failed or do not realise the assessment of the first call (ongoing evaluation or single final assessment) may realise a special exam. Date of the special exam will be fixed at least 15 days before the exam.

100% of the grade will correspond to that obtained in a final assessment of the following type:

  • Written exam consisting in 6-10 shorts questions about the papers used during the classes (60%)
  • To solve a case study given by the professors about one topic related to the subject (40%)

Evaluación única final

Article 8 of the current Rules for Assessment provides for the taking of a single final assessment, which students may apply for in the first two weeks of teaching of the subject (or two weeks following change of matriculation). Application is to be made through the electronic system to the coordinator of the master: https://sede.ugr.es/sede/catalogo-de- procedimientos/gestion-academica-solicitud-evaluacion-unica- final.html?id_session=867525898526DDFA6A0D825F021B5A17&iniciar=1

The student should cite and accredit the reasons for not being able to undergo the system of continuous assessment (reasons of employment, health, disability or any other correctly justified cause), with the understanding that this assessment is undertaken in a single, academic act in order to accredit that the student has acquired in full the competencies described.

The single final assessment is obtained as 100% of the grade through an assessment of the same type as the special exam described in the previous section.

 

Información adicional

INCLUSION and DIVERSITY. In the case of students with disabilities or other specific educational support needs (NEAE), the tutoring system will be adapted to these needs, following the recommendations of the inclusion area at the University of Granada. Departments and centers will establish appropriate measures to ensure that tutorials take place in accessible locations. Additionally, at the request of faculty, support can be requested from the competent unit at UGR for special methodological adaptations.
