The aim of the evaluation process is to verify that the student has achieved the knowledge and skills defined in the objectives of the subject, as well as the competencies.

Several types of activities will be evaluated independently where the weighted sum of them will give the final grade. These activities are:

    Theory (T)

    Resolution of laboratory practices (PL)

The Theory (T) part will be assessed with two individual partial tests throughout the course. The final grade of Theory will come from the weighted sum of the two controls (0.5 * Control 1 + 0.5 * Control 2). There will be a second chance to retake that part on the day we are assigned by the coordination of the studies. Parts that have not been passed in the partial theory tests may be recovered. The minimum grade to pass this part is> = 4.5.

The Laboratory Practice Resolution (PL) part will be assessed as a group. It will have several deliveries. The final grade will come from the weighted sum of the deliveries. To pass the PL the minimum grade must be> = 4.5. There is only one chance (this part cannot be recovered).

The final grade of the course will be the weighted sum of the grades of each of the four activities. The result must be> = 5.

In case of not passing the subject, not reaching the minimum score in any of the sections (Theory or Laboratory Practices), although when doing the weighted average, the final grade was equal to or higher than 5 the grade that will be put in the file will be 4.5.

If the average does not reach 5, the grade that will appear in the file will be the numerical grade obtained numerically.

If the student delivers any activity, it is understood that it is presented in the subject and will be evaluated. If it does not deliver any activity, then it can be considered Not evaluable.

Granting an honorary enrollment grade is the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. UAB regulations state that MHs can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00. Up to 5% MHs of the total number of students enrolled can be awarded.

The dates of continuous evaluation and delivery of works will be published on the virtual campus and may be subject to possible scheduling changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents; these changes will always be reported to the virtual campus as it is understood that the CV is 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.

Repeating students: Repeating students who have passed the laboratory practices can request the validation of this part of the subject. The rest of the assessment activities must be done in the same conditions as the other students.

This subject does not consider the single evaluation system.

 

Note on plagiarism:

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 assessment activity;

let copy;

present group work not done entirely by group members (applied to all members, not just those who have notworked);

present as 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 communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, camera pens, etc.) accessible during individual theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams);

talk to classmates during individual theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams);

copy or try to copy from other students during the theoretical-practical assessment tests (exams);

use or try to use writing related to the subject during the theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams), when these have not been explicitly allowed.

In case of not passing the subject because some of the evaluation activities do not reach the minimum required grade, the numerical grade of the record will be the lower value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the grades. With the exceptions that students who do not participate in any of the evaluation activities will be awarded a "Not Evaluable" rating, and that the numerical grade in the transcript will be the lower value between 3.0 and the weighted average of the notes in the event that the student has committed irregularities in an act of evaluation (and therefore it will not be possible to pass the compensation). In future editions of this subject, the student who has committed irregularities in an evaluation act will not be validated any of the evaluation activities carried out.

In summary: copying, copying, or plagiarizing (or attempting to) in any of the assessment activities is equivalent to FAIL, not compensable and without validation of parts of the subject in subsequent courses.
