Assessment

The objective of the assessment process is to verify that the student has achieved the knowledge and skills defined in the objectives of the subject, as well as the associated competences.

These types of activities will be assessed independently, and the weighted sum of them will give the final grade.

    Theory (T)

    Solution of the laboratory practices (PL)

    Completion of a practical case study (PA).

The part of Theory (T) will be evaluated with two individual written exams throughout the course. The final grade of Theory will come out of the weighted sum of the two exams (0.5 * Exam 1 + 0.5 * Exam 2). There will be a second chance to recover this part on the day we have assigned in the June exams week. The parts that have not been passed in the partial theory exams can be recovered. The minimum grade for passing this part is >= 4.5. There is a minimum grade of 4 for each partial evaluation to allow the calculation of the final theory mark.

 The part of Laboratory exercises (PL) will be evaluated by group. There are two planned deliveries. The final grade will come from the weighted sum of the deliveries. To pass the PL the minimum mark will have to be >= 4.5. There is only one opportunity to pass this part (this part can't be recovered). Labs delivery is compulsory to be evaluated.

The practical case study (PA) will consist on a presentation and a report on the topic chosen. Students will evaluate their peers and the final mark will include the revision from the subject teachers. The value of this part is 10% of the final mark and given their nature and objective are not recoverable.

The final grade of the subject will be the weighted sum of the grades of each of the four activities: 60% of Theory, 10% Resolution of individual practical exercises and 30% of delivered solutions of laboratory exercises. The result will have to be >= 5.

 In case a student does not pass the subject due to not reaching the minimum score in any of the mandatory parts (Theory or Laboratory exercises), even though the weighted average is equal or superior to 5, the final grade of the subject will be 4.5.

 In the event that the average does not reach 5, the official grade will be the average mark obtained numerically.

 If the student delivers any activity, it is understood that he/she is participating in the subject and will be evaluated. If you do not deliver any activity, then it can be considered Non-evaluable.

 Granting an honorific matriculation qualification is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.

 The dates of continuous evaluation and assignment delivery will be published on the virtual campus and may be subject to possible changes to adapt to possible incidents; the virtual campus will always inform about these changes since it is understood that the CV is the usual mechanism for exchanging information between professors and students.

 For each assessment activity, a place, date, and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the professor. In this context, claims can be made about the activity grade, which will be evaluated by the professors responsible for the subject. If the student does not submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

Note about plagiarism:

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student who may leadto a variation of the qualification in an assessable activity will be graded with zero (0). Assessment activitiesqualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course. These irregularities include, among others:

    the total or partial copy of a lab exercise, report, or any other evaluation activity;

    let another student to copy;

    present a group work not done entirely by the members of the group (applied to all members and not only to those who have not worked);

    present as own materials prepared by a third party, even if they are translations or adaptations, and generally works with non-original and exclusive elements of the student;

    have communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, pens with camera, etc.) accessible during theoretical-practical assessment tests (individual exams);

    talk with classmates during the individual theoretical-practice tests (exams);

    copy or attempt to copy from other students during the theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams);

    use or attempt to use written material related to the subject during the theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams), when these have not been explicitly allowed.

If you do not pass the subject due to the fact that some of the evaluation activities do not reach the minimum grade required, the numerical official grade will be the lowest value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the grades. With the exceptions that the "Non-Appraising" qualification will be awarded to students who do not participate in any of the assessment activities, and that the numerical official grade will be the lowest value between 3.0 and the average Weighted grades in case the student has committed irregularities in an evaluation act (and therefore thesubject cannot be approved by compensation). In future editions of this subject,the student who has committed irregularities in an evaluation act will not be validated any of the assessment activities carried out.

In summary: to copy, let copy or plagiarize (or attempt) in any of the assessment activities will lead to a FAIL, not compensable and without validations of parts of the subject in subsequent courses.
