The evaluation of the subject European Single Market: Integration and Convergence will be the result of the addition of two sections:

- On-going assessments (PEC - Pruebas de evaluación continua). There will be two. These tests are 40% of the final grade (20% each). They will be done through the virtual course and will consist of a test of 10 multiple-choice questions (with a single valid answer) on the readings available through the virtual course. The correctly answered ones will add 0.2 points and the erroneous ones will subtract 0.06 points. Unanswered do not add or subtract. The dates and times in which the PEC will be carried out are indicated later in this Guide.

- Final assessment (Research work). This work is 60% of the final grade. Each student must submit, before January 19, 2020, a proposal of work on a topic related to one of the parts of the subject.

The proposal should include the topic to be developed and some explanation to have chosen it. In addition, the proposal should include the outline of the work with the title and the sections to be developed (at least: introduction, sections, conclusions and bibliography). It should also explain the objective of the work, the methodology and the bibliography used to make the proposal.

When the Teaching Team approves, the work must be submitted before February 15, 2020 (if it wishes to be evaluated in February) or before August 31, 2020 (if it wishes to be evaluated in September).
