Assessment

(a) Evaluation process and activities
- Partial tests: As part of continuous assessment, partial tests are carried out (between 2 or 3) where the student verifies that he has acquired the knowledge and skills defined in the objectives of the subject, as well as his competences. The % of the average grade of these tests, with respect to the total of the subject, is 60%. It must be considered that, individually, the grade of each partial test does not exceed 50% of the final grade of the course.
In order to pass the subject, by means of continuous assessment, a minimum grade of 4 must be obtained in each of these partial tests and, in addition, the average grade of the marks of these partial tests must be greater than or equal to 5.
- Laboratory practice sessions: The % of the final mark of these practice sessions, with respect to the total mark of the subject, is 30%.
In order to pass the subject through continuous assessment, the final grade of these practice sessions must be greater than or equal to 5. Attendance at all practice sessions is compulsory. An absence from a practice session for officially justified reasons is tolerated, but in any case, before leaving, the teacher of the practice session must be previously consulted. Keep in mind that, the practice sessions are non-recoverable activities, therefore, suspending them with a grade lower than 5, means not being able to pass the subject.

- Practice test: In this test, the student verifies that he has achieved the knowledge acquired in the practice sessions. In order to pass the subject through continuous evaluation, the grade of this practice test must be greater than or equal to 4 and the average grade of the total grade of the practical sessions plus that of the practice test must be greater than or equal to 5.

b)Programming of evaluation activities
The schedule of evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the course. It will be made public through the Virtual Campus and on the website of the School of Engineering, in the exam section.

c)Recovery process
Any student, who has suspended the subject by the continuous assessment method, may be submitted to a recovery test. In this test, the student must examine the partial tests of the lectures and/or the practice test, which he has done through the continuous assessment and from which he has opted for a grade lower than 5. The student may keep, for the recovery test, the grades of these continuous assessment tests that are greater than or equal to 5.
In order to pass the subject, through the process of recovery, the grades must be greater or equal than 5 and the average grade of these grades of the partial tests must be greater or equal than 5. Likewise, the grade of the practice test obtained in the recovery test must be greater or equal than 5 and the average grade of this practice test with the total grade of the practical sessions must be greater or equal than 5.

According to the academic regulations of the UAB, the student can apply for the recovery whenever it has been submitted to a set of evaluation activities that represent, at least, two-thirds of the total grade of the subject. Of these, may be presented in the recovery, those students who have as a final grade of all the evaluable activities of the subject, a grade higher than 3.5.
d) Grade review procedure
For all other assessment activities, a place, date, and time of review will be indicated allowing students to review the activity with the lecturer. In this context, students may discuss the activity grade awarded by the lecturers responsible for the subject. If students do not take part in this review, no further opportunity will be made available.

e) Qualifications

In order to pass the course with honors, the final grade must be 9.0 or higher. Because the number of students withthis distinction cannot exceed 5% of the number of students enrolled in the course, this distinction will be awarded to whoever has the highest final grade.
