CONTINUOUS
ASSESSMENT:

A
continuous assessment learning scheme will be offered to the students:

- Two
partial exams will be held related to the theory (A sessions).

- The
laboratory work will be assessed by means of an exam (B sessions).

- The
student has to elaborate a report describing the monitored project (C
sessions).

The first
partial exam will take place in the classroom after the first six sessions
approximately. It will last ninety minutes. If the student passes this part,
he/she is not required to retake it. In this case, after finishing the term,
he/she has to take only the second partial exam. The date will be specified in
the academic calendar.

In partial
exams, a minimum score (5 out of 10) is required in order to get a pass.

The
laboratory exam will take place at the laboratory during the last session.

In order to
assess the monitored project, the lecturer will consider the quality of the
final report, the work in the laboratory and the student’s behavior.

The final
mark (FM) is calculated as the weighted average of the three individual marks.
The formula will apply a weight of 50% to the theory mark (TM), a 30% to the laboratory
mark (LM) and a 20 % to the project mark (PM):

FM = 0,5*TM
+ 0,3*LM + 0,2*PM

The minimum
passing score required in order to get a pass in the subject is 5.

When a
student takes the first partial exam, it is considered that he/she choose the
continuous assessment scheme and he/she will be assessed in June.

FINAL EXAM:

Students who refuse the continuous assessment scheme will be assessed by means
of a final exam to evaluate the theory. The exam will be the same for them as
for the students who fail the first partial exam.

The
assessment of the laboratory for these students will be carried out by means of
a laboratory exam. The date will be fixed within the examination period. In this
case, the final mark (FM) is calculated as the weighted average of the two individual
marks. The formula will apply a weight of 50% to the theory mark (TM) and a 50% to the
laboratory mark (LM):

FM = 0,5*TM
+ 0,5*LM

The minimum
passing score required in order to get a pass in the subject is 5.

IMPORTANT
REMARK:

Students who refuse the continuous assessment scheme have to contact the
lecturer at least two weeks before the exam date. It is necessary to organize
the laboratory exams.

FINAL EXAM (JULY):

The
assessment policy in July follows the scheme described in the previous
section (FINAL EXAM).
