a) Continuous Assessment

Thi subject does not include a single assessment system.

There will be two continuous assessment tests covering all five topics: Topics 1 and 2 in the first block; Topics 3 and 4 in the second bloc and Topic 5 in the threeth block.

The continuous assesment tests has doing individual.

a.1 Continuous Assessment Tests

Continuous Assessment Tests	Weight in Continuous Assessment Grade	Minimum Grade to Be Averaged
Topics 1, 2	25%	4.0
Topics 3, 4	35%	4.0
Topic 5	40%	4.0

Final Grade for Continuous Assessment

Grade Component	Weight in Final Grade
Continuous Assessment	75%
Practical Work	25%

a.2 Practical Work

A total of 5 practical assignments will be completed and the final grade is the weighhed average.

Practical Work has doing in group of two people

a.3 Pass Criteria

A student is considered to have passed if:

• They obtain a continuous assessment grade of 5 or higher, and
• They obtain a practical work grade of5 or higher, and
• They do not have any continuous assessment test score below the minimum (4.0) required to calculate the average.

a.4. Retake Exams

There will be a retake exam for each of the three theory blocks to recover any failed part of the continuous assessment.
These retake exams may also be used to improve the continuous assessment grade for each block if the student wishes.
Under no circumstances will the final grade from the retake exam be lower than the original continuous assessment grade.
The retake exams has doing individual.

Retake Exam	Weight in Retake Grade	Minimum Grade to Be Averaged
Topics 1, 2	25%	4.0
Topics 3, 4	35%	4.0
Topic 5	40%	4.0

Final Retake Grade

Grade Component	Weight in Final Grade
Retake Exam	75%
Practical Work	25%

b) Scheduling of Assessment Activities

The dates of the continuous assessment tests and the deadlines forsubmitting practical work will be published on the Virtual Campus (VC) and may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be communicated in advance via the VC, which is considered the standard method of communication between faculty and students.

---

c) Submission of Practical Work

Late submissions will be accepted only if there is prior notice and justification, but will be penalized with a lower grade.
Submissions without prior notice or valid justification will not be accepted under any circumstances.
Assignments that are not submitted will receive a grade of 0 and will not be eligible for resubmission or recovery.

Practical work accounts for 25% of the final grade.

d) Grade Review Procedure

Students may request a review within two weeks of the publication of grades and before the retake exam review deadline.
If a grade is changed following a review, the new grade is final and cannot be changed in any later review.
After the retake exam review period ends, no further grade changes will be allowed.

e) Final Grades

In the event of not passing the subject due to any of the assessment activities not reaching the minimum required grade, the numerical grade of the transcript will be the lower value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the grades as indicated in section a).

A grade of “not assessable” will only be given to students who do not complete ANY assessable activity (continuous assessment, final exam, or practical work).
Participation in even one assessable activity means all others not completed will be graded zero and included in the final grade calculation.

Honours distinctions (matrícula d’honor) will be awarded to students who achieve a grade of 9.0 or higher in each component, up to 5% of the total enrolled students, based on descending order of final grades.
At the discretion of the teaching staff, honours may also be awarded in other cases, provided that the limit of 5% is not exceeded and the final grade is at least 9.0.

f) Irregularities, Cheating, and Plagiarism

Cheating refers to evidence that a test or assignment has been completed in part or in full without the student’s intellectual contribution.
This includes attempted cheating during exams or assignments and violations of academic integrity standards.
Plagiarism involves presenting other authors’ work or texts as one’s own,which constitutes an intellectual property offense.
To avoid plagiarism, all sources used in reports or assignments must be properly cited.

According to UAB regulations, cheating, plagiarism, or any attempt to manipulate assessment results—whether one’s own or someone else's (e.g., by allowing others to copy)—will result in a grade of 0for the relevant component (exam, continuous assessment, or project) and a fail in the course.
This does not preclude the possibility of academic or legal action being taken against the student(s) involved.

---

g) Assessment for Repeating Students

Students retaking the course may retain the practical work grade from the IMMEDIATELY PREVIOUS ACADEMIC YEAR if they request it at the beginning of the course.
Otherwise, they will be required to complete the practical assignments again.

 h) IA uses

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution by the student in the analysis and personal reflection. 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.

Non-transparency in the use of AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
