Group work. Students have to design a perceptual illusion. The illusion will be presented in an audiovisual format and must include an explanation of the perceptual mechanisms involved in the illusion. The originality, technical complexity and intensity of the effect of the illusion will be assessed. These three sections will account for 50% of the final mark. The remaining 50% will be based on the evaluation of the explanation (clarity, simplicity, thoroughness, etc.). | 25% | ||||
| Multiple-choice objective tests |
|
During the course there will be two mid-term exams (objective test) as part of the continuous assessment. The first will take place in the middle of the term, the second at the end. The questions will proportionally evaluate the content covered in both the lecture (theory) and practical classes. The final theory grade will be the arithmetic mean of the midterm grades. Students who do not achieve a grade of 5 after averaging the midterm grades will take a final exam (recovery exam) which will include questions from all the course material. | 75% | ||||

The continuous assessment will be the arithmetic average of the midterm 1 and 2 (it is possible to fail one part as long as it is compensated by the other). Students whose average does not reach 5 will have a final resit exam. This exam will be a multiple choice test and will contain approximately 40 questions covering all the course material (theory and practice). The characteristics, difficulty and marking criteria for this exam will be similar to those of the midterm exams taken during the course. In accordance with current regulations, the teacher may establish those measures deemed appropriate for the good development of assessment activities. The measures could include restrictions on the use or possession of communication and data transmission devices during the tests, and will be mandatory for all students. |
