Assessment

The contents of the theoretical classes will be evaluated with written exams. There will be two partial exams of the two equal parts into which the content has been divided.

In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum mark of 5 in each of these parts. The weight of each partial exam in the theory part is 50%.

The weight of the theory mark in the final mark is 70%.

To improve the mark, or to recover failure exams lower than 5, it is possible to retake each exam at the end of the course in a final exam. A minimum mark of 5 is required to pass the final exam.

In the case of attending the final exam to improve the mark, the previously obtained mark is waived and only the grade of the final exam will be counted.

To take part in the final exam, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two-thirds of the total mark of the subject. Therefore, the student will obtain the qualification of "Not evaluated" when the assessment activities carried out have a weighting of less than 67% in the final qualification.

Laboratory practices will be evaluated through a theoretical exam that will be done individually on the last day of laboratory work and that will represent 80% of the practical mark. The preparation of the lab notebook will be done by groups and will represent the remaining 20% of the practical mark. The lab notebook will be delivered via Virtual Campus one week after the end of the practical part.

The practical mark represents 20% of the final mark of the subject. Attendance at practices is mandatory. In the case of justified non-attendance, it can be made up by attending the session of another group or, if this is not possible, through substitute work. There is no practical recovery exam.

Seminars are mandatory and there is no recovery of seminars. Participation in seminars counts for 10% of the final mark.

The subject will be approved when the student obtains a minimum final mark of 5 points out of 10 in each of the parts (theory, laboratory practices and seminars).

Students who cannot attend an individual assessment test for justified reasons (such as illness, death of a first-degree relative or accident) and provide the corresponding official documentation to the Degree Coordinator, will have the right to take the test in question on another date.

Students who choose the single evaluation must do the laboratory practices (PLAB) in face-to-face sessions together with the students of the continuous evaluation. It is a mandatory requirement to approve the practical part, which will have a weight of 20%. Attendance at the seminars (SEM) will not be compulsory and students who choose for this option will have to attend 3 of the 6 seminars included in the subject in the continuous evaluation format. It will be the teaching staff who will choose the seminars to be taken by the students in the single evaluation option. The delivery of the SEM assignments will take place on the same day that has been set for the synthesis test.

The single evaluation consists of a unique test (with questions to develop and relate concepts and solve real cases) on the contents of the entire theory program.

The grade obtained in the synthesis test is 70% of the final grade of the subject, the grade obtained in the practical is the 20%, and the seminars the remaining 10%.

The single evaluation test will coincide with the same date set for the last continuous assessment test and the recovery will be done similarly as for the continuous assessment.

To pass the subject you must obtain a final mark of at least 5 points out of 10 in each of the parts (synthesis test, PLAB and SEM).
