(a) Evaluation process and activities

- Partial tests: Throughout the course, two partial tests are carried out where the student verifies that they have acquired the knowledge and skills defined in the objectives of the subject, as well as their skills worked in the classes. The percentage of the first partial test is 40% concerning the final theory mark, and the percentage of the second partial test is 60% concerning the final theory mark. The % of the final theory grade, with respect to the total grade for the subject, is 60%.

To obtain the theory mark in the continuous assessment, a mark greater than or equal to 4 must be obtained in the partial tests, and the average mark of these partial tests (taking into account the weights described), must be greater than or equal to 5.

Attendance at all practice sessions is mandatory. An absence from a practical session for officially justified reasons is tolerated, but in any case, before being absent, the professor of the practical session must be consulted in advance. It must be taken into account that the practical sessions are non-recoverable activities, therefore, failing them with a grade lower than 5 means not being able to pass the course.

To pass the course, the final grade for these practice sessions must be greater than or equal to 5.

To pass the course through continuous assessment, the mark of this practical test must be greater than or equal to 4.

To pass the subject in the continuous evaluation, each of the above items must be individually passed, that is, the final theory grade must be greater than or equal to 5, and the grade for the laboratory practice sessions and the practice test must be greater than or equal to 5

b)Programming of evaluation activities
The schedule of evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the course. It will be made public through the Virtual Campus and on the website of the School of Engineering, in the exam section.

c)Recovery process
Any student, who has suspended the subject by the continuous assessment method, may be submitted to a recovery test. In this test, the student must examine the partial tests of the lectures and/or the practice test, which he has done through the continuous assessment and from which he has opted for a grade lower than 5. For the recovery test, the student may keep grades of these continuous assessment tests that are greater than or equal to 5.
To pass the subject, through the process of recovery, the grades must be greater or equal to 4 and the average grade of these grades on partial tests must be greater or equal to 5. Likewise, the grade of the practice test obtained in the recovery test must be greater or equal to 4 and the average grade of this practice test with the total grade of the practical sessions must be greater or equal to 4.

According to the academic regulations of the UAB, the student can apply for recovery whenever it has been submitted to a set of evaluation activities representing at least, two-thirds of the total grade of the subject. Of these, those students who have, as a final grade of all evaluable activities of the subject, a grade higher than 3.5, may present themselves in the recovery.

d) Grade review procedure
For all other assessment activities, a place, date, and time of review will be indicated allowing students to review the activity with the lecturer. In this context, students may discuss the activity grade awarded by the lecturers responsible for the subject. No further opportunity will be made available if students do not participate in this review.

e) Qualifications

An overall grade of 5 or higher is required to pass the subject. In order to pass the course, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5 in the activities. In case of not reaching the minimum required in any of the evaluation activities, if the calculation of the final mark is equal to or greater than 5, a 4.5 mark will be placed on the grade.

To pass the course with honors, the final grade must be 9.0 or higher. Because the number of students with this distinction cannot exceed 5% of the number of students enrolled in the course, this distinction will be awarded to whoever has the highest final grade.

g) Evaluation of repeating students

There will be no differentiated treatment for repeating students

h) Unique/single evaluation

This subject does not offer the possibility of a unique/single evaluation.
