Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The assessment consists of two modules:

Module I: consist of

a) Three problem sesisons, distributed along the semester (25%)

b) A partial test (20%)

c) A final test (40%)

Module II: participation and assessment in the laboratory practices (25%).

The repeating students will not have a differentiated treatment (no grade from the past course is saved).

Finally, during the exams period there will be a test to recover the mark of the whole Module I. Tests (b) and (c) contain written exercises to guarantee reaching the transversal skills. In order to be able to participate in the compensation test, it is required that the student has followed evaluation activities for a minimum of two thirds of the total mark. Module II is not compensated, in agreement with the coordination of the degree and the direction of the School.

The minimal marks required are 4 out of 10 for the weigted mean of tests b) and c), for the Module I  (or for the compensationof Module I) and for Module II. If the minimum of each module is reached, the final mark is the weighted mean. Otherwise the final mark is the minimum between the weighted mean and 4.5 (out of 19).

Assessment dates will be published on the virtual campus and on the presentation slides, and the programming may change because of adaptation to possible incidents. Any modification will always be informed in the Campus Virtual, which is the usual exchange of information platform between teachers and students.

For the assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated in which the student will  be able to review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims can be made about the activity grade, which will be graded by the teachers responsible for the subject. If the student does not take part  of this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.

In order to pass the course with honors, the final grade must be equal or higher to 9 points. This will be given to students that, according to the criterion of the professors, have reached ina brilliant manner all the goals.

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, assessment activities will receive a 0 score whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment. The assessment activities qualified in this way and by this
procedure will not be recoverable. If you need to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be failed directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course These irregularities include, among others:
the total or partial copy of a practice, report, or any other evaluation activity;
to let copy;
to have communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, etc.) accessible during
theoretical‐practical assessment tests (individual exams).

The marks of previous years are not valid anymore. In particular the past marks of module 2 will not be used this year.

In the case of a single day assessment (avaluació única), the tests will be carried out on the same day as the second partial exam and will consist of: 1) delivery of previously set exercises (15%), 2) an exam that encompasses the two partials (60% of the grade , i.e. tests b) and c) together) and 3) a practice test to be done in a computerized classroom (25% of the grade, withous a second change to be assessed). The criteria of a second assessment and minimum requirements for modules and exams are the same as the continuous assessment, bearing in mind that tests b) and c) have been combined in a single exam.
