As an example of an assignment, it can be required to students to prepare a resume adapted to their professional objectives previously defined by themselves and following the guidelines for readability and realization taught in the course.
Some of the evaluation systems can score individually in a 0 - 10 or 0 -100 scale or similar. In this particular case, the contribution to the final score will be the result of multiplying the points attained, converted to a 0 -10 scale, by the specific weight designated by the evaluation system.
