Assessment

There is a group assessment part and one individual assessment. The note of the first (PR) corresponds to the practicum. The second (EX) of the average of two exams during the term (EX1, EX2), or a retake exam (EXR).

The algorithm for calculating the final mark (FM) is the following (all marks over 10):

EX = max(0.5 * (EX1 + EX2), EXR)
if (EX >= 4.0) and (PR >= 4.0) :
     FM = 0.5 * (EX + PR)
else :
     FM = min(EX, PR)


The practicum

The realization of the practicum is essential to assimilate the concepts of theory. The first thing we want to make sure is that the practicum has really been done by the group that delivers it, and that each member of the group has contributed to the same extent as the others. The second is that the practicum is done progressively during the course, in parallel with the theory. That's why we will do the following:

- The mark for the practice is obtained by combining the grade of the parts into which it is divided. Each part will be evaluated in situ in one of the practical sessions that we will announce at the beginning of the course (the milestones). The points that can be obtained from each part will be specified in the handout. These assessments have no retake, afterwards.

- On the evaluation days of the practicum (milestones), if, as a result of the answers the questions asked by the teacher during the assessment, we have doubts about the authorship or contribution of some member of the group, then the mark will change from group to individual and depending of how much and what part of the practice each member has done.

The exercices

We will propose some exercises that are optional. These exercises can be done individually or in small groups, the same or different than the practice. The exercises may add points to the theory note EX, with a top of 10. We say 'may' because obtaining these extra points is conditioned to a validation test in order to verify that the student has effectively completed the exercise he has delivered. We will do these validation tests only once, in the EX1 and EX2 exams, and they do not have retake afterwards.

Other

We do not preserve the mark of the practicum, exercises or exams from previous courses. Students taking again the course do not receive any differentiated treatment.

If an exam or part of the practicum is not delivered, the mark for that part is zero. The final grade will be ‘no-avaluable’ if nothing to be evaluated has been delivered, either exam, practicum or exercice.

Milestones are assessments equivalent to written exams. If a student does not show up, the mark is zero.

MH marks will be awarded at the discretion of students with a final final grade of 9.0 and taking into account all kinds of work done (exams, practicum and exercises).

The dates of continuous evaluation and delivery of works will be published on the virtual campus of the subject and may be subject to change in response to possible incidents. It will always be reported through the virtual campus, which will be the communication mechanism between teachers and students.

For written exam-type assessment activities, 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 show up for this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures that are deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, the irregularities committed by the student who can lead to a variation of the qualification of an act of self- evaluation. Therefore, plagiarizing, copying orletting copying the practice or any other evaluation activity will imply fail with a zero and can not be recovered in the same academic year. If this activity has a minimum associated mark, then the student won't pass the course.
