Activities and evaluation instruments:

CONTINOUS ASSESSMENT.

The student sees at all times his evolution to the subject and how to reach the different objectives of practices, problems and theory.

There are two different blocks: Block 1 is related to Signal and Image Processing (assessed with an exam) and Block 2 is related to Computer Vision (assessed with ABP [Project-Based Learning])

Additionally, there are optional elements to raise a grade: tests, challenges, lab3

 

BLOCK1

- Theoretical knowledge

The final theory grade will be calculated from the score of one test: Theory grade Block1

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

Recovery (theory). If the student wants to upload a grade or recover, he/she can take the final exam.

Optional (theory). Weekly tests of between 5 and 15 test questions

- Problems

The problems are 3 or 4 exercises that will be evaluated along with the theory tests since the problems complement the theory: Problem grade Block 1

Recovery (problems).  If the student wants to upload a grade or recover, he/she can take the final exam divided into two blocks.

Optional (problems). Weekly challenges consist of a longer problem to hand in as a mini report.

              
- Practices

The practical part is a series of small projects. The evaluation of this part will include:

   Individual evaluationof Lab0 thatintroduces the work tools that will be used in the practices. Also, the exhibition parts of the final project are evaluated individually.
    Joint evaluation of the practices: single marks for all members of the working group that will assess the results obtained and the quality of the code.
    Evaluation of the project that will assess, the objectives achieved both by the group and individually, the results obtained and the presentation.

The grade of this part will be calculated according to the formula:

            Practices grade = 0.2 Lab0 + 0.4 Lab1 + 0.4 Lab2 

Recovery (practices). The recovery of this part will consist of the delivery of the material not delivered before but with a multiplying factor of 0.8.

Optional (practices). Lab3

 

BLOCK 2

Project in groups of 3 people that will be the central axis of the second half of the course. PBL (project-based learning) will be applied. A part of the note will be given by the rest of the group members and by the rest of the class.

Recovery. If the student wants to recover, he/she can take a special final exam on this part.

 

Final Grade (continuous assessment)

The Final Grade of the subject is obtained by combining the evaluation of these activities in the following way:

            Final grade = 0.5 ( 0.25 Theory grade Block 1 + 0.35 Problems grade  Block 1+ 0.4 Practice grade) + 0.5 Block 2

 

UNIQUE ASSESSMENT.

In the event that you wish to opt for the Unique Assessment, the material related to the laboratories must be presented in person before the final exams, or on the same day of the exam. The theory and problems grades will come out of the exams.

There will also be an option to get extra marks only for the problem challenges.

Those who wish to opt for this type of assessment must request it in advance, at least one week before the final exam (2nd midterm).

Final Grade (unique assessment)

The Final Grade in the single assessment of the subject is obtained by combining the assessment of these activities as follows:

   Final Grade = 0.15 Theory grade Block 1 + 0.15 Theory grade Block 2 + 0.15 Problems grade Block 1 + 0.15 Problems grade Block 2 + 0.4 Practices grade

Final evaluation

The final grade that will appear in the expedient file, except for specific cases of copying and plagiarism or "Not evaluable", will be the result of applying the formula Final grade, also for cases of failure.

Grad with honours(MH) will be given to the people with the best grade above 9, ordered in order of arrival to that mark and there will be as many as can be given by the enrollment ratio.

Students who do not participate in any of the different evaluable elements (tests, challenges, exams, practices) will receive a "Not Evaluable" grade.

Terms:

If the student presents a partial exam or if he/she presents himself/herself to a practice control session, he/she can no longer be evaluated as "Not evaluable" in case he/she does not attend the other evaluations, but the note will be calculated. final from those continuous evaluations to which it has been submitted.

Clarifications:

    5.00 is the mark to pass. 4.99 or lower is suspended.

    In the case of repeating students, the practices of the previous year, if the theme is maintained, may be resubmitted. This means not a direct validation but they have to defend themselves in a single interview with the internship teacher. The rest of the evaluation activities (theory and problems) have to be re-evaluated in the established way.

    The dates for continuous evaluation and submission of papers will be published on the web page of the subject or in Catonte and may be subject to programming changes for reasons of adaptation to possible incidents; always be informed on the web page of the subject or Caront on these changes, since it is understood that the website of the subject or Caronte is the usual mechanisms of exchange of information between teacher and students.

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

    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 of the grade will be scored with a zero (0). The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these evaluation activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without the 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;
     - let copy;
     - present a group work not done entirely by the members of the group;
     - presentation 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, etc.) accessible during the theoretical evaluation-individual practices (exams).
     The numerical note of the file will be the lower value between 3.0 and the weighted average of the marks in case the student has committed irregularities in an evaluation act (and therefore the approval by compensation will not be possible).
     In summary: copying, leaving a copy or plagiarising in any of the evaluation activities is equivalent to a FAIL with a grade lower than 3.5.
