Assessment

The evaluation of the subject will be done progressively and continuously throughout the semester. The evaluation system is based on the following rules:

a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities

  The following activities are planned:

• Activity A. Making Questionnaires on the Moodle platform. The subject's Moodle contains four quizzes: one on matrices, one on systems of equations, one on the calculation of one variable and one on the calculation of several variables. Each of the first two quizzes counts for 5% of the subject's final grade, while each of the last two counts for 7.5%. In each one you can see the opening period and the rules of operation.

• Activity B. Examination of the contents of block I (matrices and systems of equations), to promote the consolidation of all the material worked on during the course. This activity counts for 25% of the final grade of the subject.

• Activity C. Examination of the contents of Block II (calculus), to promote the consolidation of all the material worked on during the course. This activity counts for 50% of the final grade of the subject.

The formula for calculating the final grade is:

                                                                  NotaFinal = 0.5 NotaExCalc + 0.25 NotaExMatSisEc + 0.05 CuestMat + 0.05 CuestSistEc + 0.075 CuestCal1 + 0.075 CuestCalVar

where each grade is in the range from 0 to 10. To pass the subject (passing means obtaining at least a 5 in Final Note), you will need to obtain a minimum grade of 4.5 in activities, B and C. You must take into account that the Activity A is not recoverable. This means that if you do not complete Activity A in the time and form as indicated in each Moodle questionnaire, it will not be possible to complete it later.

b) Programming of evaluation activities

The calendarization of the assessment activities will take place on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus (Moodle) and on thewebsite of the School of Engineering, in the exams section. The following schedule is planned:

              + Activity A: to be completed according to the instructions indicated in each Moodle questionnaire.

              + Activity B: Exam block I: Partial exam throughout October 2023. Final exam and recovery: dates to be determined by the school (January 2024).

              + Activity C: Final Exam and Recovery: dates to be determined by the School (January 2024).

  If the student obtains at least a 4.5 in the partial exam of Activity B, this part of the subject is released and will only have to be presented in the exam of block II (Activity C) on the date of the final exam (January 2024). If the student does not get at least 4.5 in the mid-term exam, he/she will have to sit this exam (Activity B) together with Activity C on the date of the final exam. Activity A will be evaluated through two possibilities in the quiz where the final grade will be the highest grade obtained from the two attempts.

c) Recovery process

For those students who, at the end of the evaluation process, have not obtained a grade equal to or higher than 4.5 in activities B and C, or whose Final Grade is lower than 5 having done so, there will be a reassessment. This will consist of carrying out, on the date planned by the School, an exam by activity representative of the situations worked on during the course. Students will only have to take the exam for the activity in which they have not obtained at least a 4.5. If a student does not reach the minimum grade of 4.5 in any of the B or C activities and therefore does not pass the subject, the final grade will be a maximum of 4.5, that is, equal to the value of the weighted average (according to section a)ifit is lower than 4.5 or 4.5 if it is higher.

d) Qualification review procedure

For each assessment activity, a review place, date and time will be indicated in which the student can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims can be made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear for this review within the set deadlines, this activity will not be reviewed later.

e) Qualifications

The final grade of the subject will be calculated according to the percentages mentioned in section a) of this section. It should be noted that:

• Honorary registrations. Awarding an honors matriculation grade is solely the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. UAB regulations indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00 and in an amount not exceeding 5% of the number of students in the subject.

• Not assessable. A student who has not taken any B or C activities will be considered "not assessable". In any other case, the assessment criteria detailed above are followed.

f) Irregularities by the student, copying and plagiarism

  Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are considered appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that could lead to a variation in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, allowing copying, etc. in any of the evaluation activities it will involve suspending it with a zero. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, with no opportunity to recover it in the same course.

g) Evaluation of repeat students

For repeat students, none of the activity notes are saved from one course to the next. Repeat students follow thesame assessment rules as any other student.

h) Single evaluation

 The student who adheres to the single assessment waives the continuous assessment. This resignation is made at the beginning of the teaching of each semester, on the dates set by each center within the framework calendar established in the academic and administrative calendar of the UAB. The link with the information about the single assessment is:

https://www.uab.cat/web/estudis/masters-i-postgraus/masters-universitaris/avaluacio/avaluacio-unica-1345885386109.html

The single assessment of the subject is made up of the following assessment activities:

Activity U1. Examination of matrices and systems of equations with a weight of 35%.

Activity U2. Infinitesimal calculus exam, with a weight of 65%.

At least a 4.5 must be obtained in both activities to calculate the final weighted grade. If a 4.5 is not achieved in any of the activities, then the final grade will be the weighted average if it is lower than 4.5 or it will be saturated at 4.5 if the average is greater than 4.5. The same recovery system applies as in the case of continuous assessment.
