The fundamental concepts will be presented through videos and teaching material on the Virtual Campus.
The classes will require the active participation of the students who will have to apply the concepts to specific cases and the doubts will be resolved.
Problem classes will be used to solve model problems.
Students will have to study autonomously the reports of equipment description and will have to answer the questions formulated through questionnaires of the virtual Campus
Completion (mostly in class) by students of a numerical detail work of an installation.
The comunicaction with students will be through Campus Virtual or e-mail.
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in [support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, other specific situations in which it is considered]. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency of the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
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.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Active participation | 10 % | 4 | 0.16 | 1, 4, 3, 7, 6 |
Block B exam | 25 % | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 2, 5 |
Equipment selection (multiple choice exams) | 5 % | 1 | 0.04 | 3, 5, 6 |
Exam block A | 25 % | 2 | 0.08 | 1, 2, 5 |
Lab work | 25 % | 1 | 0.04 | 4, 3, 7, 6 |
Numerical work | 10 % | 1 | 0.04 | 1, 4, 3, 7 |
The subject is divided into three parts: part A (topics 1 and 2), part B (topics 3 and 4) and part C (laboratory exercises)
The activities to be evaluated are:
Active participation in class will be evaluated through deliverables, mark = % correct deliverables.
The mark of the seminars will generate a factor (1 - 1.1), m=1+seminar mark/1000
The final grade will be calculated according to the expression:
Final grade = (25% bloc A + 25% bloc B + 5 % tests + 10% numerical work + 10% PAC + 25 % practicals) * m.
To pass block A and block B you need to get 50% between the theory exam and the problems, otherwise you will have to recover the block not passed.
Each exam will have a theory part and a problem part. Only the problem part will be corrected if a mark greater than or equal to 40% is obtained in the theory part.
After the recovery, to calculate the final grade, you must obtain a minimum of 40% in each of the main items (test A, test B and practicals).
This subject does not include a single assessment system.
b) Practicals
A notebook is required
The practice block is evaluated as follows: 70% reports, 15% exam, 15% laboratory (behavior in the laboratory, having read the script, attendance on time, etc.)
To be able to average the practice block, you must get at least a 3 in the exam.
In order to be able to average the practice block, at least a 4 must be subtracted from the average of the reports.
Unexcused absences subtract1 point from the laboratory grade.
Arriving late unjustifiably subtracts 0.5points from the laboratory grade.
c) Programming of assessment activities
Evaluable activities will be announced through the Virtual Campus.
d) Recovery procedure
No requirements
e) Qualification review procedure
For each test and retakes, theday, time and place will be indicated when the notes are published.
f) Qualifications
UAB regulations indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 9.00. Up to 5% of MH of the total number of enrolled students can be awarded.
g) Irregularities by the student, copying and plagiarism.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a change in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, deception, allowing copying, etc. in any of the assessment activities will involve failing it with a zero. Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, with no opportunity to recover it in the same course.
The copy may be detected during the test, but especially during the correction, so that activity with identical versions will be cancelled.
h) For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in [support tasks, such as bibliographic or information search, text correction or translations and other specific situations in which it is considered]. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency of the use of AI in this assessable activity will be consideredalack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
i) For this subject is not considered the single unique evaluation system.
