Assessment

Continuous assessment dates will be published on the virtual campus and on the presentation slides, and the programming may change because of adaptation to possible incidents. Any modification will always be informed in the Campus Virtual, which is the usual exchange of information platform between teachers and students.

The evaluation of the subject, over 10 points, will be done as follows:

• Theory (7 points): Two individual partial tests (3,5 points each). As part of the continuous assessment, the first test will be done in theory classes hours, and the second will be done on the date specified for the coordination. Each test will evaluate a part of the course separately and the final mark will be the arithmetic mean of the two tests. Each test will only be able to do average in case it is qualified with a note greater than 4.
• Mandatory laboratory practices (3 ponits): As part of the continuous assessment, they will have to be done some laboratory assignments. At least 1 point (of 2.5 points) must be obtained pass the subject

In case the stundent does not pass any of the partial tests, they can be recovered as follows:

• Students who have fail the theory part will have the option of take a final exam, where they will be examined by the part of the subject that is suspended or from both parts, in the case of having both parts suspended. Students who want to improve the mark obtained in the partial exams can also take the final exam to improve their mark.

Failing either mandatory practices or exercices proposed during the course will not be able to be recovered.

For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with theteacher. In this context, claims can be made about the activity grade, which will be graded by the teachers responsible for the subject. If the student does not take part of this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

Those students who have already previously followed the subject and who have passed the mandatory laboratory practives will be able to kept the practices' mark. It is important, however, that they contact the teacher of the subject  at the beginning of the course (when the practice groups are carried out) to inform him of this fact. Such behaviour is only intendend for mandatory laboratory practices, so marks from theory and/or exercicies will not be keep from previous courses.

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, the irregularities committed by a student who can lead to a variation of the qualification will be qualified with zero (0). The assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be
recoverable. If you need to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be failed directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course These irregularities include, among others:

• the total or partial copy of a practice, report, or any other evaluation activity;
• let copy;
• present a group work not done entirely by the members of the group;
• present as own materials prepared by a third party, even if they are translations or adaptations, and generally works with non-original and exclusive elements of the student;
• have communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, etc.) accessible during theoretical-practical assessment tests (individual exams).

To pass the course it is necessary that the mark of each one of the parts exceeds the minimum required and that the final mark exceeds 5 points. If you do not pass the subject because some of the assessment activities do not reaches the minimum mark required, the mark in the Transcript of Records (ToR) will be the lowest value between 4.5 and the average weighted notes. With the exceptions that the "non-evaluable" qualification will be assigned to those who do not participate in any of the assessment activities, and that the mark in the ToR will be the lowest value between 3.0 and the weighted average of the marks, in case that irregularities have been committed in an assesment act (and therefore compensation will not be possible). In order to get an honors, the final grade must be equal or higher to 9 points. Because the number of honors can not exceed 5% of the number of students enrolled, it is given to whoever has the highest final marks. In case of a tie, it will be taken into account the resolutions of the partial tests.

It is important to keep in mind that there will be no assesment activity for any student at a different time of the established unless there is a justified cause, it has been advised before the activity and the teaching staff has given their consent. In any other case, if the student has not attended an activity, this can not be recovered.
