Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Activity A 35% 2.1 0.08 1, 3, 4, 5
Activity B 35% 2.1 0.08 2, 3, 4, 5
Activity C 5% 0.3 0.01 1, 3, 5
Activity D 10% 0.5 0.02 1, 3, 5
Activity E 15% 1 0.04 2, 3, 5

a) Process and scheduled evaluation activities

The course consists of the following evaluation activities:

- Activity A. Written test on the content of topics 1 and 5. The weight will be 35% of the final grade.
- Activity B. Written test on the content of topics 6 and 9. The weight will be 35% of the final grade.
- Activity C. Short-term test to be carried out in class, in a team. The weight will be 5% of the final grade. This activity is not recoverable.
- Activity D. Autonomous resolution of problems to be submitted. The weight will be 10% of the final grade. This activity is not recoverable.
- Activity E. Written test on the content of the topic 6. The weight will be 15% of the final grade. This activity is not recoverable.

To pass the subject, a minimum grade of 4 in activities A and B will be required.

The grade will result from the following expression:

Final grade (continuous assessment)= Activity grade A (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade B (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade C*0.05 + Activity grade D*0.10 + Activity grade E*0.15

 
b) Scheduling of evaluation activities

The schedule of the evaluation activities will be communicated at the beginning of the subject.

 
c) Recovery process

Students who have not passed the subject will be able to present themselves to the recovery of activity A and/or B, as long as they have been presented to a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total mark for the subject and have a average mark of all the activities of the subject higher than 3.
The recovery note will result from the following expression:
 
Final grade = Activity grade A (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade B (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade C*0.05 + Activity grade D*0.10 + Activity grade E*0.15
 
Those students suspended for not having reached the minimum grade of 4 in activities A and/or B, will have a maximum final grade of 4.
 
d) Qualification review procedure

For each assessment activity, there will be a review place, date and time where the student can review the activitywith the teacher. In this context, it will be possible to make claims about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teacher responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear for the review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

e) Qualifications

With honors. Up to 5% MH of the total number of students enrolled can be awarded. It may only be awarded, at the discretion of the teaching team, to students with a final grade equal to or greater than 9.
A student will be considered non-assessable if he / she has not submitted to any evaluation activity of the subject

f) Irregularities on the part of the student, copying and plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a change in the grade of an act of evaluation will be rated with zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting yourself be copied, etc. in any of the evaluation activities it will involve suspending it with a zero.

g) Evaluation of repeating students
 
Students who do not enroll for the first time in the course will have the option of taking the assessment activities during the course or the recovery activities at the end of the course. Only activities A and B are recovered, which represent 7 points of the subject's total.
The grade of the subject will correspond to the following result: 
 
Final grade = Activity grade A (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade B (≥4)*0.35 + Activity grade C*0.05 + Activity grade D*0.10 + Activity grade E*0.15
