Theory and problems lectures: As you progress in the syllabus, problems of the subject will be considered and resolved.
Oral presentations of instrumentation: At the beginning of the course, instrumentation work will be assigned. The work will be done in groups with an oral presentation towards the end of the course.
Practical case seminar: An intensive seminar to solve problems and / or practical cases will be held.
Process simulation seminar: Three seminars will be held simulating processes using Simulink of the MATLAB software. Subsequently, a work carried out in a group will be presented, with the discussion of the results obtained.
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.

Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral presentation of instrumentation | 15 | 0 | 0 | KM35 |
| Partial test 1 | 35 | 2 | 0.08 | CM32, KM35, SM32 |
| Partial test 2 | 35 | 2 | 0.08 | CM32, KM35, SM32 |
| Simulation work | 15 | 0 | 0 | CM32, KM35 |
Partial 2: Dynamic behavior of processes with control. Instrumentation
Oral presentations of instrumentation: It will be evaluated on-site according to some barems that the student will have previously (required assistance).
Simulation work: The work of the discussion of the results obtained in the simulation seminar will be evaluated (required assistance).
Retake exam: If the resultant qualification of the tests carried out is less than 5/10, students can do a second exam of the the partial ones that have not been passed.To participate in the retake exam, the students must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. Therefore, students will obtain the "Not Evaluable" qualification when the assessment activities carried out have a weighting of less than 67% in the final grade.
A special distinction (MH) can be given from the 9/10 qualification with the limitation of up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be considered appropriate, the irregularities (copy, plagiarism, deception, letting copy, etc.) committed by the students that may lead to a variation of the qualification of an evaluation activity will lead to suspend them with a zero.
The repeating students will have the same system of continuous evaluation.
For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated. If thestudent does not appear, it will not be reviewed later.
Single evaluation:
Students who follow this kind of evaluation will have the same evaluation activities that others, with the same percentages. Nevertheless, they can do the partial 1 together partial 2 at the scheduled day and hour for the partial 2.
The same retake exam system used in continued evaluation will be applyed
The same grade of “Not Evaluable” used in continued evaluation will be applyed
The same review qualification procedure used in continued evaluation will be applyed
Student’s assessment may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions health authorities
