According to the guidelines for the degree programme , two evaluation
systems will be offered to students:
continuous assessment and  a final exam.

1.- Continuous assessment

The evaluation of the course is done through continuous assessment,
which consists of a theory test and
the delivery of two theoretical-practical
works (projects). However, the realization of a final test is also included as an
alternative.

The theoretical examination will include the contents of the first three temes of the course and will take place during lecture hours (Type
A hours). The weight of this examination will be 2 points out of 10.

The first theoretical-practical
work will include themes 1 to 5.
It will consist of the design of
a basic signal processing sysem. This work
will be conducted in laboratory hours (Type B hours)
in groups of two or three students. As a result of
the work a descriptive report is produced for the designed system. The
weight of this assessment is 3.5
points out of 10.

The second theoretical-practical
work will include themes 6 to 8. This
work will be conducted in laboratory hours (Type B hours) in
groups of two or three students. The weight of this assessment is 4.5 points out of 10.

The final grade for the
course will be the sum of the three
assessments. To pass the course a student must meet the following conditions:

- Get at least 5 out of 10 in the overall evaluation.

- Get at least 40% of the maximum score for each of the evaluation activities.

Students who fail any of the assessments
shall be submitted to the corresponding final exam. Similarly, students who want to
improve the grade obtained in any of the
assessments may be submitted to final exam.

In the case a student fails to obtain at least 40% of the maximum score in any of the assessment activities, but has above the
minimum of 5 out of 10 in the overall assessment, the student will be considered suspended and the note 4.5 will appear in the minutes.

It is understood that the student chooses continuous assessment if he/she conducts the first theoretical-practical work, and since then will be considered submitted to
this evaluation alternative.

2.- Assessment by final exam.

The final exam will consist of the same evaluative activities covered by continuous
assessment. This means that on the date scheduled for the final exam students who have not opted
for
the continuous assessment should make the theoretical examination of the themes 1 to 3 of the course and deliver the reports of both theoretical and practical work equivalent to that performed by continuous assessment. Such works will be indicated in class week 8. The theoretical and
practical work will be discussed in the week following delivery.

As noted above, those students who have opted for continuous assessment and not passed any assessment activities or want to improve their grade may also pass a final exam only with the theme (or themes) to be considered. In this case the grade will be the highest
between the final examination and continuous assessment.

3.- Second call (July)

The second call assessment exam will be similar to the final examination described in item 2 above.
