Evaluation activities and instruments:

To evaluate the achievement of knowledge and skills associated with the subject, an evaluation mechanism is established that combines the assimilation of knowledge, the ability to solve problems, and significantly, the ability to generate computational solutions to complex problems, both group as individually.

With this objective, the evaluation is divided into three parts:

- Evaluation of theoretical-practical contents

The final grade of contents will be calculated from several evaluation test:

Note Contents = 1 / N * test_i

The number of tests may vary and they will be at least 2. In order to have a content grade, it will be necessary for the grades of each of the tests to be greater than 4.

The partial tests will be carried out during the course and may be of a practical nature (algorithm proposal for the resolution of a statement), or be of conceptual content where to answer different questions about the content developed in the 'theoretical' sessions.

These tests are intended to be an individualized evaluation of the student with their abilities to solve problems using the techniques explained in class as well as evaluating the level of conceptualization that the student has made of the techniques seen.

Recovery tests: In case the content grade does not reach the appropriate level in any of the tests, to obtain a final grade sufficient to consider the achievement of knowledge, students can take the recovery tests of the call the subject to evaluate the contents seen in the subject of the part / s not passed. In case of appearing to raise note, the highest note prevails.

There are no validations in case the theoretical part had been exceeded in previous years.

- Evaluation of the practical projects

The evaluation of each of the projects will include:

• Joint evaluation of the project: a single note for all members of the working group that will assess the overall result of the project, the quality of the code, the general structure of the final presentation and the documents delivered throughout the project.
• Individual assessment to each member of the group: the individual work will be valued based on the answers to the questions in the control sessions and the final presentation of the project.
• Peer evaluation: brief confidential form rating each groupmate's contribution to the final result.

The project mark will have into account the quality of the computational solution (code), experimentation, documentation and defense

The final mark of practices will be the average of the marks of the projects, having to obtain a minimum of 3.5 in each one of them. In the event that this minimum is not reached in any of the projects, the final internship mark will have a maximum of 3.5.

Failure to pass any of the practical projects will allow the recovery of the code and memory of the failed projects, but not the oral presentation in case the project not passed has one.

In case of repeating students with the practical part passed (minimum 6) the previous year exclusively, they will be able to present the practices of the previous year again, adding functionality or modifying the data according to the practical teacher if the content of the project is the same or similar the year before. These students in no case may group with first year students.

There may be group projects and individual projects. Obviously, in the second case, all group notes will become individual

- Evaluation of the work in the problem seminars

The problems are intended to cause the student to enter the contents of the subject continuously and from small problems that make them become directly familiar with the application of the theory. As evidence of this work, the presentation of a portfolio in which she will have kept the problems she has been carrying out is requested. This portfolio will have weekly digital delivery. The student will be able to self-evaluate continuously since they will have the solutions of each one of the problem sets once the delivery period has ended. Along with the hours of tutoring in case doubts appear, it is enough for each student to identify their weak points.

The final grade for the course is obtained by combining the evaluation of these 3 activities as follows:

Final Note = (0.35 * Contents) + (0.55 * Project) + (0.1 * Portfolio)

Conditions to pass the subject:

• The final grade for individual evaluation tests be greater than or equal to 4 to pass the course.
• The grade for the project must be greater than or equal to 6 to pass the course.

 

In the event that the grade, applying the formula of the previous section ("final grade of the subject"), is higher than 5 but the minimum required in any of the parts has not been exceeded, the final grade in the record will be a 4.5.

As many honors registrations will be assigned as the current regulations allow as long as the grade is higher than 9.0. The assignment of the registrations will be done following the order of notes. In case there are multiple candidates with the same evaluation likely to receive Md'H, additional activities will be proposed to determine the best candidate (s).

The student will be graded as "Not Evaluable" if he / she has no evaluated part of either the theoretical or practical contents.

 

Important notices:

    The dates of continuous evaluation and delivery of works, as well as all the teaching material will be published in the Campus Virtual (http://cv.uab.cat/), in the space of this subject and can suffer programming changes because of adaptation to possible incidents. cv.uab.cat will always be informed about these changes since it is understood that Campus Virtual will be the usual mechanism of exchange of information between teacher and students.

    This subject does not contemplate the single evaluation system.

    For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of revision in which the student can review the activity with the teacher will be indicated. In this context, claims may be made on the activity grade, which will be evaluated by the faculty responsible for the subject. If the student does not appear inthis revision, it will not be revised later to this activity.

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, assessment activities will receive a zero whenever a student commits academic irregularities that mayalter such assessment. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be re-assessable. If passing the assessment activity or activities in question is required to pass the subject, the awarding of a zero for disciplinary measureswill also entail a direct fail for the subject, with no opportunity to re-assess this in the same academic year. Irregularities contemplated in this procedure include, among others:

 •   the total or partial copying of a practicalexercise, report, or any other evaluation activity;

•   allowing others to copy;

•   presenting group work that has not been done entirely by the members of the group;

•   presenting any materials prepared by a third party as one’s own work, even if these materials are translations or adaptations, including work that is not original or exclusively that of the student;

•   having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, etc.) accessible during theoretical-practical assessment tests (individual exams).    

    The numerical note of the subject will be the lower value between 3.0 and the weighted average of the marks in case the student has committed irregularities in an evaluation act (and therefore the approved bycompensation will not be possible). In summary: copy, leave copy or plagiarize (or attempt to) in any of the evaluation activities is equivalent to a FAIL with a grade lower than 3.5.
