Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

During the course there will be 5 sessions (of problems or seminars). In 3 of them exercises will be delivered individually or in pairs and will be graded. The grades of these exercises represent 30% of the final grade. This part of the grade will not be recoverable.

There will be an exam (First Midterm = P 1) before half a semester in which the work done up to that moment will be evaluated (corresponds approximately to the first two topics). The mark of this exam will provide 35% of the final grade. All students who take this exam can no longer be classified as NOT EVALUABLE. Any student who has not taken this exam will be considered NOT EVALUABLE for academic purposes and will not be entitled to recover it (except for duly justified cause, in which case the recovery exam will be allowed).

At the end of the semester there will be a second midterm exam (which we call P_2) in which the knowledge of topics 3 and 4 (approximately) will be evaluated. The mark of this exam will provide another 35% of the final grade. Any student who has not taken this exam will not have the right to recover it (except for duly justified cause, in which case the recovery exam will be allowed).

If the average of the marks (out of 10) of the two midterms (P 1 + P_2) / 2 is less than 3 the student must go to the recovery exam, which is a global exam of the whole subject. If the mean M = (P 1 + P_2) / 2 is greater than or equal to 3, then the final grade is NF = 0.7 M + 0.3 S, where S is the average grade of the seminars (out of 10) . If NF is higher than 5 the student has approved and has NF as a final grade. If not, the student must go to the recovery exam and in this case the final grade will be 0.7 R+ 0.3 S, where R is the grade of the recovery test (out of 10).

In the midterm exams and in the recovery exam will not be allowed to use calculator.

The 5% of the highest grades may be graded with an Honor's Certificate provided that: the grade of each partial is not less than 9 and the NF grade described above exceeds 9.4. These evaluation conditions will be the same for all students enrolled in the subject, regardless of whether they are enrolled first or if they had already enrolled in previous courses. The final decision on the qualification of MH will be taken by the teachers.

For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of revision in which the student can review the activity with the faculty 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 in this review, this activity will not be reviewed later. The dates of the delivery of problems and the partial exams will be published in the Virtual Campus (CV) and may be subject to possible programming changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents; The CV will always be informed about these changes since it is understood that the CV is the usual mechanism of exchange of information between teacher and students.


Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures considered 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, copying, having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, etc.) in an evaluation activity will imply suspending 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 qualification and evaluation activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly,with no opportunity torecover it in the same course. The numerical note of the file 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 by compensation will not be possible). The evaluation of transversal competences is integrated in the rubric (or problem correction guideline) of the partial exams. The score of the sections of the rubric corresponding to transversal competences has a value of between 5% and 10% of the score of the corresponding problem.

Unique evaluation procedure will not under be implemented in this course.
