Control and follow up. The monitoring of learning will be carried out by carrying out the following activities: - Participation of the student in the theoretical and practical classes. - Resolution of practical cases throughout the course individually and in groups. - Tutoring throughout the course of the final individual / collective work. - Theoretical-practical exam type multiple choice. The characteristics of the same, as well as the date, time and place of realization, will appear in the call that will be published in the Services Portal with a minimum of ten business days in advance with respect to the first day of the examination period of each call of agreement with Regulation of the UPCT Evaluation Tests. The tests (exams, consultations in class, solving exercises and cases, etc.) make it possible to detect possible gaps and consolidate the most important concepts of the subject.
To pass a call, it will be necessary to have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 5 calculated from the grades obtained in each evaluation activity with the corresponding weighting. The student must obtain a minimum grade in the "Evaluation of practical activities" 3 points out of 10 and in the activity "Exam" it will be necessary to obtain 4 points out of 10. Once these minimum values are exceeded or equaled, the student will not have to perform these evaluation activities again, unless the student voluntarily does so, de facto renouncing the grade obtained in the continuous evaluation system.
