The continuous assessment activities are:

• Mid-term theory exams (30%): there will be two partial theoretical exams, one halfway through the course and the other at the end of the course. The grades of these two exams will be averaged between them without a minimum grade.
• Mid-term practical exams (30%): there will be two partial Practical exams, one halfway through the course and the other at the end of the course. The grades of these two exams will be averaged between them without a minimum grade.
• Practical exercises (30%): 4/5 practical exercises will have to be delivered during the course. The planned delivery schedule will be presented at the beginning of the course.
• Attendance and participation in class (10%): will be counted from small activities carried out in class without prior notice.

The average between the grade of the theoretical exam (average of the two theoretical parts) and the grade of the practical exam (the average of the two practical parts) is only computed if a minimum grade of 4 is reach in both parts, and students will only pass the exams if the average of their qualifications is at least a 5. It is mandatory to hand in the practical exercises. Students cannot take an exam if all the practical exercises have been delivered. An extraordinary delivery date will be defined for the practical tasks not delivered within the originally established deadline, or delivered on time but suspended. Practical exercises delivered within this extraordinary period will be scored with a maximum grade of 5.

On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.

This subject/module does not incorporate single assessment.

RESIT EXAM

Once the ordinary assessment has been completed, students will have the opportunity to takea resit exam within the dates scheduled by the Faculty. To participate in this exam the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 of the total qualification of the subject.

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 assessed”. 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.

FIRST CLASS HONOURS

First class honours will be awarded to those students that obtain a result of 9.5 or over in each part, up to 5% of those registered following a descending order of the final result.

REPEAT STUDENTS

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

COPIES AND PLAGIARISMS

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject. Those evaluation activities in which there have been irregularities cannot be not reassessed.
