Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Assessment of the development of the virtual portfolio | 30% The minimum grade required for this part is 5 out of 10 | 1 | 0.04 | 2, 18, 17, 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, 8, 6, 7, 11, 15, 14, 16, 22, 21 |
Class activities | 15% No minimum grade is required for this part | 2 | 0.08 | 17, 1, 3, 9, 8, 7, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 22 |
Follow-up of the practical sessions | 25% The minimum grade required for this part is 5 out of 10 | 3 | 0.12 | 2, 18, 3, 8, 7, 12, 13, 10, 15, 16, 22, 20 |
Knowledge validation tests | 30% The minimum grade required for this part is 5 out of 10 | 4 | 0.16 | 2, 18, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 6, 7, 14, 15, 20 |
The final grade of the subject, which includes assessment on the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences, will be calculated by weighting:
A minimum final grade of 5 is required to pass the course.
In the event of failing the subject because any of the assessment activities does not reach the minimum mark required, the final grade will be the lower value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the marks, with the exception that students who do not participate in any of the evaluation activities will be given the grade of ‘not evaluable’.
This course does not consider the single assessment system.
The assessment mechanisms used in the subject are described in more detail below.
The dates of continuous assessment and delivery of works will be published the first day of the course on the Virtual Campus and may be subject to possible changes due to adaptation to possible incidents. These changes will always be reported on the Virtual Campus since it is understood that this is the usual platform for the exchange of information between teachers and students.
The following assessment activities are planned:
Students may take the retaking process if they have taken a set of activities that represent at least two-thirds of the total grade of the course.
Retaking mechanisms will focus on activities 1) Portfolio, 2) Validation of Knowledge, 3) Laboratory sessions. In the event that a student has not passed any, or all of these parts, before the date of the final exam, this part can be retaken by means of a written test (cases 2 and 3), making a second delivery of the laboratory report (case 3) or finishing the Portfolio before that date (case 1). In case 1, if the student retakes the Portfolio part, a pass, or fail will be obtained. If the student passes, a maximum mark of 5 will be obtained. If the student fails, the mark previously obtained in this part will be obtained.
For each assessment activity, a place, date, and time of revision will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims may be made about the activity mark, which will be assessed by the teacher responsible for the subject. Unless otherwise noted, if the student does not attend this revision, this activity will not be reviewed later.
When a student has not done any work in laboratory, has not taken any of the partial or final theory written tests, and has a mark lower than 5 in the Portfolio, it will be considered that there are not enough assessment evidences, and the final mark will be “not assessable.” The rest of students who have not passed the course will get a “Suspens” (fail) grade, with the mark obtained in the subject. Those students qualified with “Suspens” due to not having reached the minimum mark in any of the assessment tests, will have the mark got in the assessment exam that has not reached the minimum required (always taking the minimum mark in the case that the minimum in several tests is not obtained).
Honour grade (Matrícula d'Honor, MH): Granting an honour grade qualification is a decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or more. It can be granted up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information search. The student will have to clearly identify which parts have been generated or improved with this technology, specify the tools used and finally include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Non-transparency of the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or higher penalties in serious cases.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation in the grade will be graded with a zero (0). Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities in order to pass the subject, this subject will be directly failed, with no opportunity to recover it in the same course. These irregularities include, among others:
The numerical grade of the transcript 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 act (and, therefore, it will not be possible to pass it by compensation).
The repeater students will be able to validate the theory part of the subject. The way to calculate the final mark will be the same as mentioned above, taking the mark from the Portfolio, classroom activities and partial exam(s) of the part(s) of the theory to validate.
Repeater students will also be able to validate the practices separately. The way to calculate the final mark will be the same as mentioned above, taking the mark from the practice(s) to validate.
The laboratory sessions consist in the accomplishment of a series of works with which try to reach knowledge and abilities already seen in theory classes or totally new. It is considered equally important tohave worked throughout the development of the practice, as well as having understood and learned the knowledge from them.
In the development of the course, four projects will be carried out in the fields of:
The specific details on the organization of the practices (groups, calendar, weighting, ...) and on their follow-up (reports, attendance requirements, policy on originality of the code, ...) can be downloaded from the Virtual Campus.
