The practical teamwork (project) that the student will face will determine one of the mid-term marks, Xb, of our continuous evaluation. The quantitative value (between 0-10) will be determined by the correctness of the solution presented by the group, the associated presentation and docs, and the individual implication of the student in the developed work.

There will be two written exams: a mid-term exam in the middle of the semester (Xa1), and a final one (Y). Both tests are theory examinations and will be evaluated individually between 0 and 10. The second one (Y) will weight 40% of the whole mark, and the student must score at least 3/10 to pass the subject. The mid-term test, Xa1, will be involved arithmetically in a special way with the "short-response" questionaries (Xa2) and the tutored work (teamwork, Xb) to get other 50% of the whole mark. |

The assessment of the subject can follow either the "continuous evaluation" philosophy or a lonely "final examination". The student will choose the "continuous evaluation" path if he/she takes the mid-term written exam (Xa1) at the middle of the semester. The percentages shown in the previous section only reflect the maximun weights that could have every activity (partial mark) within the continuous evaluation strategy, and are only illustrative. The precise assessment is shown following: In the "continuous evaluation", the whole mark will be the arithmetic weighted mean among the mark of the final examination (Y, 40%), the score associated jointly to other measurable activities done in the course (Xa1 Xa2 and Xb, 50%) and the one originated through the online activities (Z, 10%). The students must obtain at least 3/10 in both the first two marks, X and Y, as well as a “pass” in the laboratory practices, to pass the subject. The joint partial mark associated to the rest of activities just mentioned, X, will be the geometric mean between the mark of the tutored teamwork (Xb) and the arithmetic mean between the short response tests (Xa2) and the written mid-term exam -to do in the middle of the semester- (Xa1). X=SQRT [Xb*(0.5*Xa1+0.5*Xa2)] FINAL MARK= 0.4*X+0.5*Y+0.1*Z The students that do not follow the "continuous evaluation" way, must take a special final examination that will be composed of three parts: a theory examination, like the final one in the continuous evaluation (Y), an aptitude test in the laboratory, and a practical project that must be developed individually (Xb). The whole mark, in this case, will be the geometric mean between the theoretical exam and the project work, provided that the student pass the aptitude test in the lab. Finally, the extraordinary examination session in july will have the same characteristics than the special final examination just described, but the students will be able to inherit the partial mark of any activity (Xb or Y) if that has been passed during the same academic year, independently of the assesment modality that the student had chosen.
