Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Continuous-assessment dates will be published on Campus Virtual. Specific programming may change when necessary. Any such modification will always be communicated to students through Campus Virtual, which is the usual communication platform between lecturers and students.

Subject assessment (out of 10 points) will be carried out as follows:

• Two individual partial tests, 6 points (3 points each). As part of continuous assessment, the first test will take place during lectures; the second will take place on the date specified by coordination.  These individual tests will consist mostly of exercises in the style of those worked on during the course; a smaller part will consist of more theoretical questions.

• Exercise resolutions, 1.5 points. As part of continuous assessment, activities must be carried out or exercises must be solved by applying the given methods.

• Compulsory practicals, 2.5 points. As part of the continuous assessment, computer implementations will be carried out and will be evaluated. In case of absence in a session without a previous and adequate justification, the contents of that session will be evaluated as 0. 

• Final exam, 6 points. Those who have not passed the subject through the individual partial tests will have the option to take final exam as a re-assessment grade to compensate the individual partial tests. There is therefore no separatere-assessment for partial tests; this exam covers material from the entire course. It will consist mainly of exercises in the style of those worked on during the course; a smaller part will consist of more theoretical question.

For each of the individual partial tests a minimum qualification of 0.5 points is required. There are no other minimum qualifications in each part. In order to pass, the different parts must add up to at least 5 points. No single assessment is offered.

Notwithstanding other disciplinarymeasures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, assessment activities will receive a zero whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be re-assessable. Irregularities contemplated in thisprocedure include, among others: the total or partial copying of an 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).

An overall grade of 5 or higher is required to pass the subject. A "non-assessable" grade cannot be assigned to students who have participated in any of the individual partial tests or the final exam. No special treatment will be given to students who have completed the course in the previous academic year, except that the practice grade previously obtained can be assigned to this course gradebook. 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 the case of exercise resolution, a review may be requested after the date of the activity. For all other assessment activities, a place, date and time of review will be indicated allowing students to review the activity with the lecturer. If students do not take part in this review, no further opportunity will be made available.
