Correction criteria
1) Theory: In questions, activities and written work, we are talking about precision in the definitions and use of terms, the exactness in recognising the terms, clarity, coherence and precision in answers the questions posed. 0.5 will be taken off each time a small error is made in ideas related to the vocabulary. When a student comments a big mistake in which they confuse concepts or ideas 3 points will be taken off.
If a student doesn’t answer the question or answers it completely incorrectly they score 0.
2)) Applied theory: In questions, activities and written work, we are talking about the capacity to argue and reason; the capacity to summarise; the relationship between themes and authors; using correctly the specific procedures for speeches and text commentaries; critical ability to like a current social problem with the past. 0.5 will be taken off each time a small error is made in ideas related to the vocabulary.

When a student analyses a text, bear in mind the following:
-If a student correctly focuses on the question and has highlighted the main ideas but has detailed their answer, they will only get half marks.
-When they are missing the main ideas, or key points to develop the answer then each one has one point taken off.
-Development of the answer: a full mark is given is the student explains correctly the theme, always referencing in their development, using the example just as a documental source. 1 mark off for small mistakes and 3 off for big ones.
3) In carrying out projects, both individual and collective, the contents of the activity and projects will be assessed on the order, correct application of the process of investigation, collection, analysis and summary, the capacity to interlink concepts, the creativity in choosing as well as explaining the themes. Both the physical presentation (independent of the form used) and the correct presentation and explication given to the class will be taken into account. Getting the following wrong are considered to be serious mistakes: anachronisms, confusion of terms, authors, theories, schools of thought, etc. In these cases, students are assessed by half the available mark.
4) In public presentations of work carried out, both individually and collectively, dominance of the ideas, expressive skills, answering clearly the question asked are what one bears in mind. Getting the following wrong are considered to be serious mistakes: anachronisms, confusion of terms, authors, theories, schools of thought, etc. In these cases, students are assessed by half the available mark.
