Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Assessment

The assessment will be individual and will be carried out continuously in the different training activities that have been programmed. This subject does not foresee the single evaluation system.

Individual written tests: There will be three partial exams that will include the contents covered in the different lessons, the weight of which will be 75% of the final mark. At the end of the course it will be possible to take a make-up exam for all students who have failed the course and who have a mark of more than 5.0 in the practical sessions.

Laboratory Reports: 7 practical sessions are scheduled. The practicals will be done in pairs. At the end of each practical, a report (per pair) must be filled in and submitted before the end of each session (45 minutes to complete the report). The grade of each report will be the grade obtained for each member of the pair of students. All practical sessions are compulsory. A practical not carried out (and not justified according to the teacher's criteria) will be an automatic failure of the course.  The lecturer in charge of the course will evaluate the cases of absences justified by the student. The mark obtained for each practical report will be complemented with a mark for the laboratory notebook and attitude. The total weight of the final mark for practical work will be 20% of the final mark for the course.

Completion of exercises and work: Throughout the course, students will complete exercises that will be proposed by the teacher. Some exercises will have to be done in class, and others will have to be done as independent work by the student. In any case, the days on which the exercises will be done will be scheduled and there will be no prior notice. All exercises are compulsory.

Attitude in the training activities: Active participation, attendance in person, as well as the attitude in the different training activities such as master classes, problems, seminars and practical laboratory sessions, will besubjectively assessed by the lecturer.

Exams taken and attitude will have a weight in the final mark of 5%.

It will be considered NOT EVALUABLE as a final grade when any of these cases is completed:

- Missing all the laboratory practice sessions.

- Not taking any individual written test (midterm) and not taking the RECOVERY exam.

In order to pass the course, it is necessary to obtain a score equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the FINAL GRADE while completing the following conditions:

- To have completed the laboratory practicals with an average mark equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10.

- To have attended all the sessions of laboratory practicals (3 theory + 7 practicals). If there is any lack of attendance, it will have to be duly justified.

- Have a mark equal to or greater than 4.5 out of 10 in the average grade of the first 2 individual written tests (2 partial) of the chemical equilibrium part.

- Have a mark equal to or greater than 4.5 out of 10 in the mark of the individual written test (1 partial) of the inorganic part.

The right to the recovery exam:

- In the case of not passing the course with all the requirements mentioned above, the student will have the right to a RECOVERY EXAM where ONLY the subject corresponding to the balance block and/or inorganic block that has not reached the minimum grade of 4.5 will be evaluated. In order to pass the course and take the weighted average of this make-up exam together with other assessable activities, it is compulsory to obtain a RECOVERY EXAM mark equal to or higher than 5.0, but in this case, the weighted average will only be taken with a RECOVERY EXAM mark value equal to 5.0.

- Once the weighted average of all the assessable activities has been done, in order to pass the course, the FINAL mark (recovery exam) will have to be ≥5.0.

FINAL GRADE (by partial) = ((AVERAGE SCORE 2 PARTIALS EQUILIBRIUM (if ≥ 4.5)*2) + GRADE 1 INORGANIC PARTIAL (if ≥ 4.5))/3 * 0.75 + PRACTICAL GRADE (if ≥ 5 ) * 0.20 + (EXERCISES + ATTITUDE) * 0.05

FINAL GRADE (EQUILIBRIUM RECOVERY EXAM) = (5.0 (if EQUILIBRIUM RECOVERY EXAM GRADE ≥5.0) *2 + INORGANIC PARTIAL GRADE 1)/3* 0.75 + PRACTICAL GRADE (if ≥5) * 0.20 + (EXERCISES + ATTITUDE) * 0.05

FINAL GRADE (INORGANIC RECOVERY EXAM) = ((AVERAGE GRADE 2 EQUILIBRIUM PARTIALS (if ≥ 4.5))*2 + 5.0 (if INORGANIC RECOVERY EXAM GRADE ≥ 5.0))/3 * 0.75 + PRACTICAL GRADE (if ≥5) * 0.20 + (EXERCISES + ATTITUDE) * 0.05

FINAL GRADE (ALL SUBJECT RECOVERY EXAM) = 5.0 (if ALL SUBJECT RECOVERY GRADE ≥ 5.0) * 0.75 + PRACTICAL GRADE (if ≥5) * 0.20 + (EXERCISES + ATTITUDE) * 0. 05

If the PARTIALS mark is< 4.5 and/or the RECOVERY EXAM mark is < 5.0, a mark of 4.5 (fail) will appear on the academic transcript if the FINAL mark is equal to or higher than 5.0.

 The final grades of the students who pass the subject may be distributed between 5 and 10, always maintaining the order of the students according to the grade FINAL NOTE obtained, to achieve the distribution between approved, notable, excel and MHs, which teachers consider suitable.

 Students will have to act honestly throughout the course. Participation in dishonest attitudes (cheating, allowing copying or any action aimed at distorting an evaluation) in any follow-up test or exam will be reason for a grade of "Failed" with a final grade of 0 in the subject, regardless of the rest of the marks obtained by the students involved. During the written tests, mobile phones or any other telecommunication device must be disconnected and kept in the bags or backpacks that will have to be on the platform. If a student is found to be carrying an unauthorized device during the exam and/or follow-up test, the student will be expelled from the classroom and will have a "Failed" grade in the subject.
