This subject does not provide for a single assessment system.

 

The evaluation of the course will be continuous and will consist of three evaluation mechanisms:

A. Comprehension questionnaire on the theoretical part of networks

B. Comprehension questionnaire on the theoretical part of systems

C. Submission of reports on the execution of practical sessions on the networks part

D. Submission of reports on the execution of practical sessions on the systems part

The numerical grade will be weighted as follows: A 25%, B 25%, C 25%, D 25%.

This weighting will be applied as long as each of the four grades is at least 3.0.

Therefore, if none of the four grades A, B, C, and D is below 3.0, this formula will not be applied and the course grade will be calculated accordingly.

Exams are individual, while classroom activities and practicals are done in groups.

 

In case of submission of the practical part of networks in the second call, a 20% penalty will be applied to the practical grade.

The penalty will be applied in such a way that the grade with the penalty does not drop below 3.0 due to the penalty, using the following scheme:

If Grade C < 3.0, there is no penalty.

If 3.0 ≤ Grade C ≤ 3.75 --> Grade C with penalty = 3.0

If Grade C > 3.75 --> Grade C with penalty = 0.8 x Grade C

Students who have been assessed for at least 2/3 of the course evaluation may opt for the recovery process if the final minimum grade of the course is higher than 3.5.

The recovery process will consist of an additional questionnaire for points A and B, and a second deadline for points C and D.

No differentiated treatment is contemplated for students repeating the course.

The final grade will be recorded as "Not Assessable" only when there has been no participation in the assessment process.

Consideration will be given to awarding Honorsto students who, having obtained a final grade equal to or higher than nine (9), have actively participated in the development of the course.

Note on copying, plagiarism, and other irregularities Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an evaluable activity will be graded with a zero (0). Evaluation activities graded 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 course, this course will be directly failed, with no opportunity to recover it in the same term.

These irregularities include, among others:

• total or partial copying of a practice, report, or any other evaluable activity;

• letting others copy;

• presenting a group work not entirely done by the group members (applied to all members, not just those who did not work);

• presenting as own materials produced by a third party, even if they are translations or adaptations, and in general works with non-original and exclusive elements of the student;

• having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smartwatches, pens with cameras, etc.) accessible during individual theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams);

• talking to classmates during individual theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams);

• copying or attempting to copy from other students during theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams);

• using or attempting to use writings related to the subject during the theoretical-practical evaluation tests (exams), when these have not been explicitly permitted.

The numerical grade in the record will be the lower value between 3.0 and the weighted average of the grades in case the student has committed irregularities in an evaluation activity (and therefore passing by compensation will not be possible). In future editions of this course, a student who has committed irregularities in an evaluation activity will not be granted any of the evaluation activities completed.

In summary: copying, letting others copy, or plagiarizing (or attempting to) in any of the evaluation activities equals a FAIL, not compensable and without validations.
