"The University of Lleida informs that, for teaching purposes, it will register images that identify the students and other people who participate in academic activities. The person responsible for the treatment of these images is the University of Lleida (contact details of the representative: General Secretariat. Plaza de Víctor Siurana, 1, 25003 Lleida, sg@udl.cat; contact details of the data protection officer: DPD @ udl.cat).

These images are only used to teach, assess the knowledge of the subject and for teaching improvement projects.
The use of the images responds to the legal obligation of the UdL to teach and improve university teaching, in accordance with the Organic Law 6/2001, of December 21, on universities. The images, once registered, are kept at least as long as the corresponding actions and claims against the evaluation approved by the teaching staff do not prescribe. They are destroyed in the terms and conditions established in the regulations on the conservation and elimination of the administrative documents of the UdL, and the documentary evaluation tables approved by the Government of Catalonia (http://www.udl.cat/ca/serveis/ archive /).

The UdL will never communicate this data to third parties, except in cases strictly provided for in the Law.
Interested people can access their images; request its rectification, deletion or portability; oppose the treatment and request the limitation, by writing sent to the address dpd@udl.cat <mailto: dpd@udl.cat>.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

To pass this course, you must obtain a global grade 5. In order to make the weighted average of the marks obtained in the different blocks, it is essential that all of them are approved.

• The theoretical block will be evaluated at the end of the term with a theoretical exam to check the achievement of the content worked during the course. In order to pass this block you must have a score of 5. Both the theoretical exam at the end of the course and the recovery exam will consist of 30 multiple-choice questions (4 possible answers, of which only one will be true, with a discount of 0.25 for error) and 2 short questions. The multiple-choice questions will have a weight of 60%, while the short questions will have a weight of 40%.
