Activities and evaluation instruments:

To evaluate the achievement of the 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 problems complex, both as a group and individually.

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

- Evaluation of contents

The final content grade will be calculated from several partial exams:

Note Contents = 1/N * Test_i

The number of tests may vary and will be set at the beginning of the course. In order to be able to have a content grade, the grades for each of the tests must be greater than 4.

The partial tests will be done during the course and will mainly be of conceptual content where you will answer different questions about the content developed in the 'theoretical' sessions.

These tests aim to be an individualized evaluation of the student with his abilities to understand the techniques explained in class as well as to evaluate the level of conceptualization that the student has made of the techniques seen.

Recovery tests. In the event that the content grade does not reach the appropriate level in any of the tests, in order to obtain a final grade sufficient to consider the achievement of the knowledge, students can appear in the examination of the call for the subject and return to take an exam that evaluates the content seen in the subject of the part(s) not passed.

There are no validations if the theoretical part had been passed in previous years.

- Evaluation of the work in the problem seminars

The aim of the problems is to cause the student to enter the contents of the subject continuously and from small problems that make them familiar directly with the application of the theory. As evidence of this work, the presentation of a portfolio is requested in which you will have kept the problems you have been working on. This portfolio will have weekly digital delivery. The student will be able to self-assess continuously since he will have the solutions to each of the sets of problems once the delivery period has ended. Together with the hours of tutoring in case doubts arise, it is enough for each student to identify their weak points.

- Group project evaluation.

In the last weeks of the semester, a larger project will be carried out than the exercises done during the course in the problem sessions. This project will be evaluated both individually and as a group. The evaluation mechanisms will be code, report, presentation and monitoring of the project in the assigned class sessions.


The final mark of the subject is obtained by combining the evaluation of these 3 activities as follows:

Final Grade = (0.3 * Contents) + (0.1 * problem portfolio) + (0.6 * Project)
the project will have a mark for its defense and another for its development and depth of the solution

Conditions to pass the subject:

     The final content grade must be greater than or equal to 4 in order to pass the subject.
     The grade for the project and its defense must be greater than or equal to 6 in order to pass the subject.

In the event that the grade, applying the formula of the previous section ("final grade of the subject"), was higher than 5 but the minimum required in any of the parts had 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 mark 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 virtual campus (http://cv.uab.cat/), in the space of this subject and can be subject to changes of programming for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents. Cerbero.uab.cat will always be informed about these changes as it is understood that CV will become the usual mechanism for the exchange of information between teachers and students.
• For each 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 may be made on 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. Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures
• Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation in the grade in an assessable activity will be graded with a zero (0). Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the course, this course will be suspended directly, without the opportunity to retake it in the same course. These irregularities include, but are not limited to: - the total or partial copy of a practice, report, or any other evaluation activity;

- let copy;

- present a group work not entirely by the members of the group (applied to all members, not only those who have not worked);

- present as their own materials prepared by a third party,even if they are translations or adaptations, and in general works with non-original and exclusive elements of the student;

- have digital and / or communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, camera pens, etc.) accessible during individual theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams).

- talk with classmates during individual theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams). - observe / look at the theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams) of other classmates during the performance of the same, even if the copy has not been carried out.

- observe / look at the table, sheets, wall, etc. writings related to the subject during the realization of the theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams) even if the copy has been proceeded.

The numerical mark of the transcript will be the lower value between 3.0 and the weighted average of the marks in case the student has committed irregularities in an act of evaluation (and therefore it will not be possible to pass it for compensation). In short: copying, copying or plagiarizing (or attempting to) in any of the assessment activities is equivalent to a SUSPENSION with a grade below 3.5.
