Assessment

The single assessment system is not applicable in this subject.

1.- Evaluation criteria

The evaluation will be continuous and formative, based on the tests of validation of knowledge reached in the theory and problems part, in the laboratory practices and in the realization of a synthesis essay, where the students will accumulate the evidences of their learning. The constant, collaborative and quality work in the subject will be valued. The attainment of knowledge and skills will be valued based on the validation tests, the reports on the development of practices and the content of the work.

There is no differentiated treatment for repeat students.

2.- Activities and instruments that will be used to evaluate

The evaluation will be carried out based on the work developed by the student in the activities proposed.

To assess, the following instruments are available: two validation tests will be carried out throughout the course of the theory and problems part. They are individual written tests that aim to validate if each student has acquired the knowledge and skills of the subject.

Practices will be assessed following the continuous evaluation method. They are compulsory and all reports must be summited. Practices marks will be based on the preparation of the practices, their execution and the final report. Practices can not be re-evaluated.

The synthesis essay is a compulsory activity, evaluated from a scientific paper and an oral presentation of it.

3.- Final qualification

The final grade of the subject will be calculated by weighting:

In 45% the qualification of the knowledge validation tests. Both tests will have the same weight with respect to the grade andto make average between them, a minimum of 3,5 out of 10 must beobtained in each test. If any of the tests does not reach 3,5 out of 10, it may be retrieve on the final re-assessment date set by the School.

In 35% the qualification of the practical  part, calculated from the weighted average of the qualifications of each of practive activity, provided that the adequate achievement has been demonstrated in the evaluation sessions. In order to pass this part, all the practice activities must be submitted and only one of them can have a grade lower than 4. The minimum grade required for this part is 5 out of 10.

In 20% the qualification of the synthesis essay. The minimum grade required for this part is 4 out of 10.

In order to pass the subject students need to get a final grade of the subject equal to or greater than 5, to have passed (grade equal to or greater than 5) practice activities and the synthesis work with a grade equal to or greater than 4.

Qualification review procedure
										
											
										
											For each assessment activity, a location, date and time of review will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. In this context, it is possible to make claims about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teacher responsible for the subject.
If the student is not present to this review, he will not review this activity later.

4.- Re-assessment/Re-evaluation

Students whose is equal to or lower than 3,5 out of 10 in any of the partial tests of knowledge validation, can retrieve it at the end of the semester.

Practices cannot be re-evaluated.

Students whose synthesis essay mark is lower than 4 out of 10, may submit a second version of the essay if and only if they had handed in the essay by the delivery deadline.

5.- Fail

Fail will be graded if the final grade = min {(4,5), weighted average of the marks of the subject}.

6.- Not Evaluable

A student who fails to take any validation test or practice session will be considered "Not Evaluable."

7.- Dates of the validation tests

The dates of the validation tests are set at the beginning of the course and do not have an alternative re-sitting date if they are missed. If there is any change in programming for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents, these changes will always be reported on the Virtual Campus.

8.- Concession of MH

Only students who have a grade equal to or higher than 9 points canobtain an MH.

As the number of MH can not exceed 5%of enrolled students, students whohave the highest final grades will be awarded.

9.- Irregularities

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committedby a student that may lead to a variation of the grade will be scored with a zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying or allowing, unauthorized use of AI (eg Copilot, ChatGPT or equivalent) etc. in any of the evaluation activities will imply failing it with a zero (0). The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these evaluation activities to pass the subject, the student will fail this subject directly, without the opportunity to re-assess it in the same course.
