The assessment of the course is based on a continuous evaluation system that combines individual and group activities, with the aim of assessing both conceptual understanding and the practical application of theoretical-practical content.

Final Mark Calculation (FM)

All grades are out of 10 points. The final mark is calculated using the following algorithm:

EX = max⁡(0.5 * (EX1 + EX2), EXR) + EX_extra
PR = 0.5 * (M1 + M2)
if (EX >= 4.0) and (PR >= 4.0):
    FM = 0,5 * (EX + PR)
else:
    FM = min(EX, PR)

Donde:

• EX1 and EX2 are the first and second exams, which are individual written tests taken during the course.
• EXR is the resit exam, which may replace the average of EX1 and EX2 if it improves the grade.
• M1 and M2 are the evaluation milestones of the group and individual practical work carried out throughout the course.
• EX_extra refers to additional points earned through optional exercises.

Single Assessment: This course does not offer the single assessment system.

Practical Assessment

• The practical component is divided into several parts or milestones, assessed in situ during practical sessions.
• Each milestone has a specific score, as indicated in its corresponding assignment description.
• These evaluations cannot be retaken.
• Submissions must be made through the virtual campus. Late submissions can receive a maximum score of 5 points.
• In case of doubt about authorship or individual contribution within a group, the evaluation will become individual, with grades assigned according to each member’s contribution.
• Attending and completing the practical sessions progressively is essential for assimilating the theoretical-practical concepts.

Exam Assessment

• Two written exams (EX1 and EX2) will be held during the term.
• A resit exam (EXR) is available and can improve the exam grade if its result is higher than the average of EX1 and EX2.
• Optional exercises (EX_extra) may add extra points to the theory grade (EX) and cannot be retaken.

Other Relevant Information

• Practicalwork, exercises, or exams from previous academic years will not be validated.
• Failure to submit an exam or part of the practical work will result in a grade of zero for that component.
• The final grade will be marked as "not evaluable" if thestudent does not submit any assessable activity.
• The Honours Distinction (MH) may be awarded at the instructor’s discretion to students with a final grade above 9.0, taking all activities into account.
• Submission deadlines and evaluation dates will be published on the virtual campus and may be updated in case of unforeseen events; any changes will be communicated via that platform.
• A date and location will be provided for exam reviews; no reviews will be held afterwards if the student does not attend.
• This course/module does not include a single final assessment option.
• Plagiarism, copying, or any irregularity in assessable activities will result in a grade of zero for that activity, with no resit option in the same academic year and possible course failure.

Use of AI

• AI tools may be used as support tools for learning (for example, to improve writing, style, clarity of exposition, language accuracy, or to obtain assistance with technical aspects). Under no circumstances may they replace and/or supplant the student’s learning activity or their acquisition of the specific knowledge of the course.
• It is not acceptable to use artificial intelligence tools to generate content for assignments that are subject to assessment. Any assessed tasks/activities suspected of having been generated by AI instead of the student will be considered as plagiarism and will be graded with a 0.
