This subject includes a continuous evaluation system to which students can renounce to be evaluated through the final evaluation system, as long as they submit a resignation to the responsible teacher of the subject one month before the end of the teaching period. Once the resignation letter has been received, the resignation document for the continuous evaluation of the subject "Social and Communication Skills and Research Tools in Engineering" must be signed by the students and by the responsible teacher of the subject, being the latter the responsible for communicating it to the rest of the teachers involved.



For the final evaluation, the students must pass different tests, both in writing and oral defenses. These oral works must be defended in the presence of a tribunal, composed by the teaching team of the subject, in order to verify the acquisition of the subject's competences by the students.



In case that a face-to-face evaluation of the subject cannot be carried out, the corresponding changes will be made to carry out to assure an on-line evaluation using the existing IT tools provided by the UPV / EHU. The characteristics of the online evaluation will be published in the student guides and in eGela platform.

The material developed throughout the course will be available in eGela platform.
