The evaluation of the subject will be carried out through three types of clearly differentiated activities: lab sessions, two partial exams and a final exam.

 

Lab sessions

The practical part consists of five compulsory practices and an individual lab exam. The practices will be evaluated with a previous report (30% of the practice grade) and a practice report (70% of the practice grade).

All lab sessions must be completed.

Up to 2 lab sessions will be allowed outside the scheduled time as long as the non-attendance at the lab has a justified cause. In this case, the grade of these two practices will be replaced by the grade resulting from the evaluation of specific works and / or activities proposed by the teachers.

Unjustified non-attendance at any of the planned labs will imply the suspension of the lab (and consequently of the subject).

At the end of the 5 practices, there will be a practice exam that will be scored with a grade that will represent 50% of the final practice grade if the qualification is higher than 5, elsewhere the practice qualification will be the obtained on the exam.

 

Two parcial exams

Two partial exams will be carried out, including each of them approximately half of the syllabus of the subject (part A and B respectively). 

These exams will last 2 hours. They will result in the partial N_PA and N_PB notes between 0 and 10 points.

 

Final exam

It will be done at the end of the semester.To participate in the final exam (recovery exam) it is necessary to have passed the lab sessions and to have a minimun grade of 2, corresponding to the  two partial exams.

The exam will consist of two parts corresponding to the matters included in parts A andB.

Both parts will consist of problems. Each student must complete the part of the examthat is suspended (N_PA and/or N_PB <5). Students who have both parts approved, will not need to take the exam, unless they want to raise the grade. In these cases the students renounce the previous marks and will use the grade obtained in the final exam to obtain the final grade of the subject.

To pass the synthesis exam, a global average of the exam of 5 is required.

After this final exam, all students will have a grade between 0 and 10 in parts A and B, either obtained in the partials exams, in this final exam, or in a combination of the two exams.

 

Mobile phones and electronic devices.

During the written tests, mobile phones and electronic devices must be switched off and on the table. Violation of this rule will result in the suspension of the test.

 

Final mark of the subject.

The final grade of the subject is calculated as the weighted average of the marks of the partial or final exams and lab sessions where the lab sessions weight is 30% and the exams 70%. To be able to make an average with the lab session it is necessary that the grade of the final exam is greater than or equal to 5.

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade will be scored with a zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying, letting copy, ..., an evaluation activity, will imply failing this evaluation activity 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, this subject will be suspended directly, without the opportunity to recover it in the same course.

 

 Special qualifications

Only if the student does not present any report of practices or work done at home, the note will be Not Evaluable. Otherwise, the final grade will be calculated based on the weights of each evaluation activity.

For each subject of the same curriculum, the Honor Cards resulting from calculating the five percent or fraction of the students enrolled in all the teaching groups of the subject can be granted globally. It will only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00, and whenever the teacher considers it appropriate (depending on the excellence of the student).
