1. Basic
knowledge test - The objective of this test is to determine whether the
student has acquired the minimum knowledge and skills needed to pass the course. - Students are graded as pass or fail. Students must obtain
a pass grade in this test in order to pass the course. - To pass, the student must correctly answer at least
70% of the questions. - There are 3 opportunities to pass this test: in an
hour of classroom time in the second-last week of the course, in the December exam period and in the July exam period. A pass grade is valid for the entire academic
year. - Students may not use books, notes or a calculator for
this test. - The test, which lasts about an hour, usually consists
of 10 sections including multiple-choice questions and short theoretical and
practical questions. Note that this structure may change.
2.
Continuous assessment The course can be passed with full marks from
continuous assessment, with no need to sit the final exam. Students who sit any of the assessment tests may not be
listed as "Not Present". The weighting and content of each continuous
assessment test are as follows: Assessment 1 (25%): - Subject 2.
- It will take
place during the 6th week of the course.
Assessment 2 (35%): - From Subject 2 to Subject 4.
- It will take
place during the 11th week of the course.
Assessment 3 (40%): - From Subject 2 to Subject 6.
- It will take
place during the last week of the course.
3. Lab assessments - Their goal is to determine whether the student has acquired all the knowledge and/or skills corresponding to the laboratory practice, emphasizing the use of MATLAB for digital signal processing.
- There will be three mandatory tests in the lab. The student will pass this part if he/she gets an average greater than or equal to 5.
4. Final exam
- There is a final exam in December and another in July.
In the final exam, all content is evaluated according to the information
contained in the guidelines for each subject. - The pass mark for this test is 5 out of 10.
- The final exam usually consists of 3 problems and
lasts about 2.5 hours. Note that this structure may change.
4.1 First opportunity to pass the course (December)
- Students can opt for continuous assessment and also
take the exam. The note will be the highest of the two grades provided the
student has passed the basic knowledge test. - If the student passes the course in this period, the
grade will be final and will become part of their academic record. - If the student fails the course, a provisional fail
grade will be recorded on their academic record along with the grade obtained.
3.2 Second opportunity to pass the course (July)
- The July final exam, a lab test and a basic knowledge test will
only be held for students who failed the course in January. - Students who obtained a pass grade in the basic
knowledge test in the previous assessment period will not need to do this test
in July. - The basic knowledge test must be taken by students who
obtained a fail in the basic knowledge test in the previous assessment period but who passed the continuous
assessment or the final examination in January. - Students who do not sit any of the tests corresponding
to this second period will be listed as "Not Present" if this was
their situation after the first assessment period. - Provisional fails will become definitive fails for
students who do not present for the second period assessment tests.
4. Other comments - The grades obtained in the basic knowledge test, the lab test, the
continuous assessment and the December and July exams are only valid for the
current academic year. - The use of books, notes or electronic devices such as
phones or computers is not permitted in any test or exam. Mobile phones must be
turned off and out of reach of the student. If calculator use is permitted, the
calculator must be a conventional scientific calculator. Under no circumstances
may calculators be used that allow formulas to be saved or that have
libraries that automatically perform operations with complex numbers,
calculation of roots, etc.
