Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practises	In the case of continuous assessment, during the designated time for experimental practices the student will answer in writing to some proposed questions. Besides, in any of the three short examinations, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated. In the case a unique evaluation in a final examination, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated. <br>Competencies evaluated are A5, A32, A33 and A34. <br>	10
Practice in computer rooms	In the case of continuous assessment, during the designated time for practices the student will answer in writing to some proposed questions. Besides, in any of the three short examinations, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated. In the case a unique evaluation in a final examination, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated. Competencies evaluated are A4, A32, A33 and A34.	10
Troubleshooting and / or exercises	There will be three short examinations, each will contain exercises resolution. Moreover, they may contain a set of short questions related to the magisterial classes or the practices, both experimental or computer aided. Competencies evaluated are A3, A4, A32, A33 and A34.	70
Reports / memories of practice	It will be evaluated both the written report and the oral presentation of the team work performed. Competencies evaluated are A4, A5, A9, A32 and A34.	10

Other comments on the Evaluation
A) If the student selects continuous assessment: 1. His/her presence in all scheduled experimental and computer aided practices will be mandatory, as well as his/her presence in all scheduled team meetings. In order that his/her work as part of the team is evaluated, the corresponding written report and oral presentation will be mandatory, personally or as part of the team (to be decided by the lecturer). The maximum mark the student might obtain in the evaluation of all the scheduled practices and team work is 30 % of the total available mark for the subject. 2. The rest of the work in the subject will be evaluated by mean of three short examinations that will contain mainly exercises resolution, but that also may contain short questions. These three short examinations as a whole add up to 70 % of the total subject qualification. The first short examination will take place around the 6th week, and the second around the 10 th week, term period. Both examinations may last 1 hour, and each corresponds to 15% of the total mark in the subject. Before the second short examination, the student must make know to the lecturer his decision about the type of evaluation he prefers: continuous assessment, or being evaluated only in a final examination. The third short examination will take place with the final examination performed for those students who do not follow continuous assessment. This short examination is also mandatory for those students following continuous assessment and it corresponds to a 40 % of the total subject qualification. To pass the subject, the student must obtain in this third short exam a mark equal or higher to the 30% of the total exam qualification. Otherwise, the marks he obtained in the computer and lab practises, and team C work will not be considered (added) to compute his/her final subject qualification. B) In the case of the students who does not choose continuous assessment, the final (long version) and only examination corresponds to 100% of the subject qualification. In this examination it will be evaluated exercises resolution (in their extended version), answers to short questions related to the subject theoretical part, and the experimental and computer/simulator aided practices. The second summons (July): In July the students who have previously failed will have to perform a similar final examination than in option B, with similar characteristics as the ones described previously. In particular, the students who followed continuous assesment and want to preserve the qualifications obtained in the practices (both experimental and computer aided) and in the team work (that will add as a whole up to 30 % of the total subject qualification) will solve a reduced version of the final examination described in previous paragraph (which will corresponds in this case to 70 % of the total qualification).
