The fundamental concepts will be presented through videos and teaching material on the Virtual Campus.
The classes will require the active participation of the students who will have to apply the concepts to specific cases and the doubts will be resolved.
Problem classes will be used to solve model problems.
Students will have to study autonomously the reports of equipment description and will have to answer the questions formulated through questionnaires of the virtual Campus
Completion (mostly in class) by students of a numerical detail work of an installation.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Block B exam | 20 % | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 2, 5 |
Equipment selection (multiple choice exams) | 10 % | 1 | 0.04 | 3, 5, 6 |
Exam block A | 20 % | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 2, 5 |
Lab work | 20 % | 1 | 0.04 | 3, 4, 6, 7 |
Numerical work | 15 % | 1 | 0.04 | 1, 3, 4, 7 |
Seminars | 15 % | 4 | 0.16 | 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 |
The subject is divided into three parts: part A (topics 1 and 2), part B (topics 3 and 4) and part C (laboratory exercises)
The activities to be evaluated are:
The final grade will be calculated according to the expression:
Final grade = 20% test A + 20% test B + 10% tests + 15% numerical work + 15% seminars + 20% practicals.
To pass block A and block B you need to get 50% between the theory exam and the problems, otherwise you will have to recover the block not passed.
Each test will have a theory part and a problem part. Only the problem part will be corrected if a mark greater than or equal to 40% is obtained in the theory part.
To calculate the final grade, you must obtain a minimum of 40% in each of the main items (test A, test B and practicals).
b) Practicals
A notebook is required
The practice block is evaluated as follows: 75% reports, 15% exam, 10% laboratory (behavior in the laboratory, having read the script, attendance, etc.)
To be able to average the practice block, you must get at least a 3 in the exam.
In order to be able to average the practice block, at least a 4 must be subtracted from the average of the reports.
Unexcused absences subtract 1 point from the laboratory grade.
Arriving late unjustifiably subtracts 0.5 points from the laboratory grade.
c) Programming of assessment activities
Evaluable activities will be announced through the Virtual Campus.
d) Recovery procedure
No requirements
e) Qualification review procedure
For each test and retakes, theday, time and place will be indicated when the notes are published.
f) Qualifications
UAB regulations indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00. Up to 5% of MH of the total number of enrolled students can be awarded.
g) Irregularities by the student, copying and plagiarism.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a change in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, deception, allowing copying, etc. in any of the assessment activities will involve failing it with a zero. 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 subject, this subject will be suspended directly, with no opportunity to recover it in the same course.
The copy may be detected during the test, but especially during the correction, so that activity with identical versions will be cancelled.
