a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities

Activity P1, consisting of a partial exam at the end of the first semester, with a weight of 40% on the final grade.

Activity P2, consisting of a partial exam at the end of the second semester, with a weight of 30% on the final grade.

Activity C1, consisting of a problem test in the middle of the first semester, with a weight of 10% on the final grade.

Activity C2, consisting of a problem test in the middle of the second semester, with a weight of 10% on the final grade.

Activity S, attendance at the seminars and delivery of the work completed during the three seminars, 10% on the final grade.

Each of these evaluable activities will receive a rating between 0 and 10 and will be denoted by P1, P2, C1, C2, S1, S2, S3 respectively.

In order to pass the subject, through continuous assessment, you must have a minimum {P1,P2} greater than or equal to 1.

The grade of the continuous assessment will be:

QC = 0.40* P1+ 0.10*C1 + 0.30*P2 + 0.10*C2 + 0.04*S1+0.03*S2+0.03*S3

It should be noted that activities C1, C2 and S are not recoverable and their dates are fixed at the beginning and will be immovable. In the event that a student is unable to attend the session called, with a documented reason, a solution to the problem that has been raised will be sought on an individual basis,

b) Evaluation activity schedule

The calendar of assessment activities will be made public through the Virtual Campus and the dates and classrooms of the two partial exams on the website of the School of Engineering, in the exams section.

c) Recovery process

A make-up exam consisting of two parts will be scheduled:

- R1 will be the grade for the recovery of activity P1, on the syllabus of the first semester

- R2 will be the grade for the recovery of the P2 activity, on the syllabus of the second semester

In order to be able to take the recovery test, the student must fulfill two conditions. The first to have appeared in both partials and have a minimum {P1,P2} greater than or equal to 0.5 and the second that the QC qualification must be greater than or equal to 1.3.

Students who, meeting the two previous conditions, have obtained a grade lower than 2 in one of the P1 or P2 activities, will have to retake R1 or R2 as the case may be. Students who, having obtained a grade equal to or higher than 2 in activities P1 and P2, do not pass the continuous assessment can choose whether to present themselves in part R1 of the recovery or in part R2 or both.

The final grade will be obtained with the following formula:

QF = 0.40*max{P1,R1} + 0.10 *C1 + 0.30*max{P2, R2} +0.10*C2 + 0.04*S1+0.03*S2+0, 03*S3

Students who have obtained a QC qualification higher than or equal to 5 and wish to improve it may also present themselves for recovery, under the same conditions. For these students, the same QF formula will be applied.

d) Qualification review procedure

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

e) Qualifications

Honor matriculations. Awarding an honors matriculation qualification is the decision of the teaching staff responsible for the subject. UAB regulations indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00. Up to 5% of MH of the total number of enrolled students can be awarded.

A student will be considered non-evaluable (NA) if he/she has not taken either the first partial exam or the second partial exam.

f) Irregularities by the student, copying and plagiarism

In recent years there has been a large increase in copying in written tests. It is difficult to know how they do it, but in the discipline of mathematics it is very noticeable. Having passed a subject thanks to copying is an act of contempt towards all colleagues, and represents a fraud from which the most harmed in the future will be the student himself. On behalf of the School, this text is put in place, which will be applied this year without any changes. Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that could lead to a change in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, allowing copying, etc., partially or fully in any of the assessment activities will involve failing it with a zero. The implications that this assessment has on the possibility of passing the subject will be assessed by the teaching team having spoken with the people involved.

 

h) Evaluation of repeat students

The repeating student must follow the general continuous assessment procedure specified in the previous points. Students for whom this is their last call must notify the theory teacher at the beginning of the course.

f) Single evaluation

As the subject is annual and has seven assessment tests, the teaching committee of the degree already approved that there would be no single assessment in this subject. It was emphasized that if a student has not been able to come to an assessment test for justified reasons, it will be made easier for him to take it at another time.
