3.- ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:

 ORDINARY EXAMINATION. (CONTINUOUS EVALUATION):

In order to be eligible for continuous assessment, students must have attended at least 75% of the
classes.

Continuous assessment awards 70% of the final mark. This mark will be obtained by the completion of
written tests and resolution of practical cases, which represents 20% of the final mark. The date will be
communicated to the student at the beginning of the course. The remaining 50% will be obtained by the
completion, throughout the semester, of two workshops or cases, defined by the teacher, (that may be
carried out individually or in groups).

The remaining 30% of the final mark for the subject corresponds to the final exam, which will be held on
the official date established by the Secretary's Office of the Faculty and will consist of a written test of
reasoning. In order to pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 40% in the final exam.

Once the calendar of activities (exams, practicals, exercises, assignments, presentations, etc.) has been
set in advance, in order to guarantee equal conditions for all students, these tests will not be repeated for
those students who do not attend them.

Students who are on international mobility or because they are on a work internship for at least
six weeks during the academic semester, are obliged to take the two workshops during the semester
and submit them on the date set by the teacher. In the case of group workshops, students may choose
between doing them jointly with other students or individually. Regarding the rest of the continuous
assessment tests, they may take them during the semester, on the same dates that the teacher
establishes for the rest of the class, or take all of them on the official date established by the Secretary's
Office of the Faculty for the final exam. In this last case, please notice that the test will keep the same
weights as for the rest of the students and requiring the same minimum in the applied knowledge tests
(40%).

   EXTRAORDINARY EXAM:

Those Students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary exam may retake it in the
extraordinary exam. The workshops must be carried out, to achieve the competences required by the
Teaching Unit, and it will be valued at 50% of the overall mark. The other 50% will consist of a test of
reasoning and practical questions on Corporate Tax and VAT. The total evaluation of the tests will be
100% of the mark.

For the extraordinary exam, if the student has taken the Workshops during the course, the mark will be
kept (50% of the final mark). In this case, the final exam will be assessed at 50%.
