a) Processes and scheduled evaluation activities

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out continuously based on the learning evidences collected in the following processes:

• [E1]. Carrying out individual written tests (exams).
• [E2]. Resolution and delivery of questionnaires and exercises proposed in the sessions of theory and problems, individually.
• [E3]. Completion of practical work, evaluated from different activities and deliveries, in groups.

The subject consists of the following assessment activities, each evaluated with a score between 0 and 10 (inclusive):

• [E1]-ExP1, partial exam 1, 30% on the final grade.
• [E1]-ExP2, partial exam 2, 20% on the final grade.
• [E2]-Prob, resolution of exercises proposed in the sessions of theory and problems, 10% of the final grade.
• [E3]-PracE, practical activities related to the eligibility of requirements, 15% on the final grade.
• [E3]-PracD, practical activities related to the documentation of requirements, 25% on the final grade.

In order to be able to pass the subject through continuous evaluation, a grade equal of bigger than 5 must be drawn in the following expression:

• (0.6 * Grade [E1]-ExP1) + (0.4 * Grade [E1]-ExP2) + (0.1 * Grade [E2]-Prob)

In the case of passing the condition to pass, the final mark of the subject will be calculated from the weighted average of the grades, using the expression:

• (0.3 * Grade [E1]-ExP1) + (0.2 * Grade [E1]-ExP2) + (0.1 * Grade [E2]-Prob) + (0.15 * Grade [E3]-PracE) + (0.25 * Grade [E3]-PracD)

In the case of NOT passing the condition to pass, the student's final grade will be the lower value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the grades, using the expression:

• min(4.5, ((0.3 * Grade [E1]-ExP1) + (0.2 * Grade [E1]-ExP2) + (0.1 * Grade [E2]-Prob) + (0.15 * Grade [E3]-PracE) + (0.25 * Grade [E3]-PracD)))

Keep in mind that:

• Exercises in [E2]-Prob must be delivered within an established period, and will be evaluated with a score between 0 and 10 (both inclusive). Exercises not delivered within their term will be evaluated with a score of 0, and can not be recovered.
• Activities [E3]-PracE and [E3]-PracD will be evaluated based on different sub-activities proposed, which will have a delivery deadline fixed.Each sub-activity will be evaluated with a score between 0 and 10 (both inclusive). Subactivities not made or delivered out of their term will be evaluated with a grade of 0, and can not be recovered.

In case of irregularities in the evaluation activities, the one detailed in section f) will be applied.

It is important to bear in mind that evaluation activities will not be carried out on a date or time different from the established one, except for justified causes, duly informed in advance to the teaching staff.

b) Programming of evaluation activities

The scheduling of the different assessment activities will be  detailed in the Virtual Campus, in the Moodle classroom of the subject. The dates of the written tests (activities [E1]-ExP1 and [E1]-ExP2) will also be made public on the website of the School of Engineering, in the section of exams.

c) Recovery process

The only recoverable evaluation activities are the written tests [E1]-ExP1 and [E1]-ExP2.

The student has the option to improve the grades of these tests (one of them, or both) through a written test provided he/she has been evaluated in a set of activities that represent a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.

In order to compute the final grade of the subject, the mark obtained in the recovery exam will replace the one of the corresponding exam carried out in the continuous assessment.

In accordance with the coordination of the Degree and the direction of the School of Engineering the following activities can not be recovered:

• [E2]-Prob, 10% on the final grade.
• [E3]-PracE, 15% on the final grade.
• [E3]-PracD, 25% on the final grade.

d) Procedure for the review of qualifications

For assessment activities based on written tests ([E1]-ExP1 and [E1]-ExP2), , a procedure for booking a revision date ant time will be established in which the studentwill be able to review the activity with the teaching staff. In thiscontext, claims can be made about the activity grade, which will be evaluated by the teachers responsible for the subject. Likewise, it is possible to arrange with the teaching staff the review of the rest of the assessment activities up to two weeks before the recovery exams

e) Special qualifications

If the student has not performed any of the tests [E1]-ExP1 and [E1]-ExP2 the "Non-assessable" grade will be assigned. It must be remarked that according to current regulations "Non-assessable" qualifications also exhaust convocation.

In order to pass the course with honours, the final grade must be a 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. In case of a tie, partial-test results will be taken into consideration.

f) Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism.

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, assessment activities will receive a zero whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment. Therefore, copying, plagiarizing, cheating, ... in any of the assessment activities will imply suspending it with a zero.

g) Evaluation of repeating students

From the second enrollment, repeater students may request to validate the evaluation of the activities [E3]-PracE and [E3]-PracD, taking the mark obtained the first time that the student enrolled in the subject. In order to be able to opt for this differentiated evaluation, repeater students must ask the faculty through an email.

h) Single evaluation

This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.
