Assessment

The course follows a continued assessment system. This consists of a group assessment part and another individual assessment. The note of the first (PR) is obtained by making the marks of the practical goals (M1, M2, M3). The second (EX) of the average of two tests written during the quarter (EXP1, EXP2), or a retake exam (EXR1, EXR2). The suffixes 1 and 2 refer to the 2 parts of the courset, before and after the first exam EXP1.

The algorithm for calculating the final mark (FM) is as follows:

        // EXP1, EXP2 partial examinations
        // EXR1, EXR2 retake exam
        // M1, M2, M3 marks for the 3 practicum milestones
        // FM final mark
         
        EX = (max (EXP1, EXR1) + max (EXP2, EXR2)) / 2.
         
        if (M1> 0) and (M2> 0) and (M3> 0) {
           PR = (M1 + M2 + M3) / 3.
        } else {
           PR = 0.
        }
         
        if (EX> = 5.) and (PR> = 5.) {
           FM = (EX + PR) / 2.
        } else {// EX <5. or PR <5.
           FM = min (EX, PR)
        }

The practicum milestones are evaluations equivalent to the written examinations. If a student does not show up, the mark is zero.

The final grade will be 'non-evaluable' if no exam or milestone has been delivered.

There is no retake for the milestones. Depending on the year, we can propose exercises and problems that add points to EXP1, EXP2. These points are maintained for the corresponding retake exams.

One thing that we want to ensure through the different evaluations is that each member of the group has really contributed to the practicum in the same way as the others. Therefore, if, as a result of the questions the instructor makes during the milestones or the written tests about the practicum, we have evidence that this does not happen, then the milestone will be assessed independently for each group member: we will find out which part the current milestone has been made by each member and we will evaluate it individually. In addition, we can split the group from then on.

The dates of continuous assessment and work delivery will be published on the 'campus virtual' of the course web and may be subject to changes in the programming for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents; This will be announced through campus virtual, the mechanism for exchanging information between instructors and students.

For each written exam, a place, date and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. If the student does not submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

We do not keep marks for the practicum, exercises or exams from previous years. Students that retake the course are not treated differently that fresh students.

The MH notes will be awarded discretionally to students with a final grade superior to 9.0 and taking into account all kinds of work done (exams, practice and exercises).

Independently of other disciplinary measures considered appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that can lead to a variation in the rating of an evaluation act will be qualified with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarizing,cheating,  etc. in any of the assessment activities it will imply fail with a zero mark. Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course, with a zero note.
