Evaluation

 

The evaluation process is continuous and it includes four evaluation activities distributed throughout the course:

• Mid-term theory exams (25%)

• Mid-term practical exams (25%)

• Practical exercises (50%)

The average between the theory and practical exams is done through the following conditions:

• A minimum qualification of 3 on the average of the two theoretical exams

• A minimum qualification of 3 on the average of the practical exams

The students will only pass the exams if the average of their qualifications is at least a 5.

Single Evaluation

This subject does not provide for single evaluation system.

Reevaluation

Once the normal evaluation finishes, students will have the possibility to do a reevaluation exam within the dates set by the Faculty. In order to do this retake exam, students need to be evaluated previously in a number of activities. The weight of these activities has to be equivalent to at least two thirds of the total qualification of the subject or module. (This condition is adapted to the legislation of UAB’s evaluation system in the Article 112 ter. Retake http://www.uab.cat/doc/Modificacio_normativa_academica_CG120717).

Review of Qualifications

For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated where the student can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, complaints 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 submit to this review, this activity will not be reviewed at a later date.

Not Evaluated

If the student has not delivered anything, not attended to any laboratory session and not done any exam, the corresponding result will be “not evaluated”. In any other case, “not delivered” counts as a 0 for the weighted average that will be maximum a 4.5. Therefore, if students participate in an evaluated activity, it implies taking into account the “not delivered” in other activities as zeros. For instance, if a student has not attended a laboratory session, s/he will obtain a zero in that activity.

First Class Honours

First class honours will be awarded to those students that obtain a result of 9.0 or over in each part, up to 5% of those registered following a descending order of the final result.

Repeats Students

Students who are repeating the subject will not be treated differently.

Copies ans Plagiarisms

When we talk about copies, we refer to the evidence that the project or the exam has been partially or totally created without the intellectual contribution of the author. In this definition, we also include the proven attempt to copy in the exams and delivered projects and the violation of the laws that assure intellectual authorship. Plagiarisms refer to the projects and texts from other authors that someone pretends to be his/her own creation. It is a crime against intellectual property. In order to avoid committing plagiarism, quote all the sources that you use when writing the report of a project. According to UAB’s law, copies and plagiarisms or any other attempt to alter the results of one’sown evaluation or someone else’s –allowing to copy, for example, implies a result ofthe corresponding part (theory, problems or practical tasks) of a 0 and in this case, the student will fail the subject. This does not limit the right to take academic and legal actions against those who have participated.
