Assessment

The evaluation is continuous and will be based on the following marks:

1) Development of the application: It should be noted that not only the final result is valued, i.e., the application itself, but also its development process is highly valued. Therefore, the continuous assessment of the work shown in the regular project meetings and, especially, in the state of development on pre-established dates will be very important. In particular, there are two partial evaluations referring to the development of the application. The corresponding marks are DA1 and DA2.

2) Team presentations: At the end of the course, the developed application and the methodology followed to do so will be presented to the entire class and to the teaching staff through a "final presentation" that will be evaluated. Here we emphasize that the presentation is evaluated as such. The corresponding mark is TP.

3) Individual evaluations: Individual evaluations will be carried out to find out the degree of real participation of each student in the application developed by their team. In particular, there are two partial evaluations of this type. The corresponding marks are I1 and I2.

To pass the subject, all these sections must be passed separately. In other words, DA1>=5 and DA2>=5, TP>=5, I1>=5 and I2>=5, where DA1, DA2, PE, I1, and I2 are grades out of 10. If this is true, then the final mark, FM, is calculated as:

[Chance 1] FM = 0.1 AD1 + 0.5 AD2 + 0.15 TP + 0.1 I1 + 0.15 I2 + Extra

NOTE: In extreme cases in which a student systematically does not do his/her work or has a marginal contribution (I1<5 or I2<5), the student will have the subject failed. If I1<5 but I2>=5, the student can have a second chance to pass the subject. In particular, the teaching staff will evaluate with the corresponding team if, although the student started badly (I1<5), the rest of the course he/she has improved significantly (I2>=5). If I1>=5 but I2<5, the student can have a second chance to pass the subject. We will proceed as in the previous case, to discern if, although the student has finished the course worse than he/she had started it (I2<5<=I1), there were circumstances that make it possible for the student to pass the subject deservedly.

NOTE: If TP<=5 and during the course the team has made its regular presentations, then there will be a second chance to make the team presentation.

NOTE: If DA1<5 or DA2<5, no team member will pass the subject. If DA1<5 but DA2>=5, the teaching staff will assess whether the team deserves a second chance. This second chance would consist of canceling the DA1>=5 condition. If DA2<5, there is not second chance.

If, finally, a student fails to pass the subject, then his/her final mark (FM) will be max(0, min(I1,I2,TP,DA1,DA2)). It is understood that “Non-Evaluable” students are only those who have not undergone any evaluation activity.

The number of MH (with Honors) that can be awarded is proportional to the number of students enrolled. In order to obtain MH the student must meet FM>9.5 at the time of Chance 1. Now, let's say we can grant "N" MH. If there are more than N candidates, the teaching staff will evaluate the trajectory of the candidates to MH and select the N. Therefore, it is the teacher who evaluates the evidence that he/she considers most appropriate (continued work, relevance within the team, NF, etc.) to make the final decision.

The developed applications are proposed by the students themselves and come out of a selection process based on presentations and voting. Therefore, during this first phase, the transversal competences T01 and T02 are very important. In fact, the student who proposes an application that passes the whole process (i.e., it becomes an application that will be carried outby a team), is selected as team leader and receives 1 "Extra" point (see FM in Chance 1). Speaking of transversal competences, note that the whole subject is inherently linked to T03. DA1. DA2, and PE quantify this particular competence. In addition, the team leader can distribute 1 "Extra" point (see FM in Chance 1) among team members with a more meaningful contribution seen from within the team.

It should also be noted that students repeating course will not receive any special treatment, they must follow the subject as the rest of students.

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, will be scored with a zero the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation of the qualification of an evaluation activity. Therefore, plagiarizing, copying or allowing an assessment to be copied or any other evaluation activity, will involve suspending the activity with a zero so that it cannot be recovered in the same academic year. If this activity has a minimum associated score, then the subject will be suspended.
