The evaluation of the subject is summative and includes the following activities:
A. Project (50%): The project consists of a set of group and individual activities that allow the student to learn how to manage a real project.
B. Test (25%): written test to assess knowledge of the theoretical concepts of the subject.
C. Project presentations(25%): oral presentations of a project where the formal, design, and communication aspects will be evaluated.
It is mandatory to participate in all evaluation activities in order to obtain the final grade. In case of justified reasons (health, death, or serious family problem), the activities can be done on alternative dates indicated by the coordinator.
The grades of each activity will be published on the Virtual Campus and queries or rectifications can be made up to 10 days after their publication. After this period, the grade cannot be modified.
Any written work that has five spelling errors and/or barbarisms (adding 5 errors in total) will get a zero mark. Any job with a plagiarism percentage that exceeds the usual rules of the authors' rights will also obtain a zero mark. To detect possible plagiarism, computerized procedures may be applied to the digital files of the submitted works, either by applying them to all or only to random samples. The student who makes any irregularity (copying, plagiarism, identity theft...) that may lead to a significant variation in the mark of an assessment act, will be rated 0 in this assessment act. In the event of several irregularities, the final grade for the course will be 0.
Revaluation
Students who fail the course in the continuous evaluation (the result of the sum of the evaluation activities) may choose to apply for a revaluation of the course. The revaluation test will consist of an exam on all the content taught throughout the theory and practice classes. Students will have the right to the revaluations of the subject if it has been evaluated from the set of activities, the weight of which is a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total mark for the course. To be able to apply for the course revaluation, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum average grade of 3.5.
