Assessment
Evaluation activities
Final exam (30%): theoretical concepts explained along the course. Minimum required qualification (score >= 4 over 10).
2 projects in group (35% + 35 %). Both projects have the same weight. In the evaluation of each project the following aspects will be taken into consideration:
- Subjective assessment by the teacher of the contribution of each student to the project (5%)
- Oral presentation of the project (10%)
- Written report of the project (20%)
The qualification "not evaluated " will be only granted if the student does not participate in any of the evaluation activities.
For those students not achieving a mark 5 in the previous activiites, a recuperation exam will be done with 100% average.
