Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

The evaluation of this subject is continuous throughout the course and is obtained from the following activities:
- Evaluation of block 1: Physical quantities and data processing (20%) Professor Carles Domingo.
- Evaluation of block 2: Obtaining experimental data (45%). Professor Lluís Font
- Evaluation of block 3: Programming and algorithms (30%). Professor Juan Campos

The teachers responsible for each of the activities reserve the right to carry out more than one test if they consider it convenient. Each teacher will inform about the specific evaluation criteria of the activity through the virtual campus.

Detailed information on the evaluation of each part:

Physical quantities and data processing.
This section, as indicated above, represents 20% of the overall grade of the subject. In the first part, students must pass a basic test (8%) and solve some exercises (12%). Important: In order to pass the subject, it is essential to have passed the basic test. Passing the basic test means answering it without any errors. Students will have several opportunities throughout the course to pass the test. The grade corresponding to the basic test will decrease as opportunities are exhausted according to the information provided by the responsible teacher. However, regardless of the grade obtained, it is necessary to have passed the basic test.

Obtaining experimental data.
The practical grade is obtained from the evaluation of the laboratory sessions (45%). In each session, the laboratory teachers will evaluate the degree of preparation for the practice by each student, their skill in carrying out the practice and the degree of learning by supervising their work and carrying out individualized oral questions. At the end of the session, each group must submit an answer sheet to the laboratory teachers, whose evaluation also forms part of the laboratory grade.
Attendance at the practicals is mandatory. If an absence is justified, it is essential to provide a justification to the laboratory manager. In this case, whenever possible, an attempt will be made to carry out the practical on another day agreed upon with the laboratory manager. If the absence is not justified, the grade for the corresponding practical will be 0. If a student has two or more unjustified absences, the subject will automatically be failed.

Programming and algorithm
The responsible teacher will inform at the beginning of the course how the evaluation of block 3 will be.

IMPORTANT:
1.- In order to pass the subject, it is essential to be evaluated in all the evaluation activities. Failure to present to an evaluation activity means failing the subject. In the case of a single evaluation, the rules are indicated in point 3.
2.- Due to the experimental nature of this subject and the continuous evaluation of the laboratory work, there are no recovery systems.
3.- Single assessment:
Due to the experimental nature of this subject, students must participate in some assessment activities throughout the course, regardless of whether they have opted for the single assessment or not. These are the laboratory practices (45% of the final grade) and the assessment activities for the programming and algorithmic part defined by the teacher responsible for block 3.
Students who have opted for the single assessment will be assessed for the remaining % of the overall grade for the subject as follows:
They will have to take a theory exam where they will have to answer the questions corresponding to blocks 1 and 3 and the programming assignments if any.
If they fail the subject, they will have a second chance with an exam similar to the first. It should be noted that to pass the subject they must have passed the basic test. Students who opt for the single assessment will therefore have two opportunities to pass the basic test.
