Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



The subject is designed for face-to-face participation. It has a particularly practical focus, so active presence is important. The evaluation of this subject is global, although we teach it in 2 learning blocks: ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and SO (School Organization). Therefore, in order to pass the subject, the student must demonstrate that he has reached a minimum level of the learning outcomes of each block. Thus, when the student has passed the 2 blocks, we can assign the overall mark taking into account the weighted weight of the blocks.

Different evaluation activities and evaluation systems will be used: learning dossier, group research work, seminars, oral presentations, debates, written and audiovisual productions, objective tests, activity design, self-evaluation and co-evaluation. The evaluation will be continuous. Teamwork, involvement and participation of the students will be valued. The criteria for correcting orthographic mistakes will be as follows:

  • In written work of up to 7 pages, 0.1 points will be deducted per mistake if it is handwritten, and 0.3 points if it is typed on a computer.
  • For written assignments longer than 7 pages, 0.1 points will be deducted per mistake, whether handwritten or typed on a computer.
  • The maximum deduction will be 2 points.
The Teaching and Learning process of each block (TIC-OE) is guided, continuous and accompanied. In order to obtain the final mark for each block, we will take into account group productions (45%), and self-evaluation and co-evaluation (15%), and individual test on learning and learning (40%).T he ICT test will be on 13 May and the OE test will be on 15 May.
