   Assessment
  Description Qualification
Tutored works Tutored practical project, with the delivery of a final report.
The learning aims related to the ability to elaborate projects and application of calculation methods (numerical methods) are assesed. Learning aims related to the identification of problems are also assessed (through the application of numerical calculations). Learning Aims: A2/CG2, A84 (CE75/OP18), A85 (CE76/OP19), A87 (CE76/OP20)
20
Short answer tests Written test, with short questions on the theory of the subject. Evaluation of learning aims involving knowledge of legislation and how to perform measurements.
(Learning Aims: A2/CG2 , A5/CG5)
30
Reports / memories of practice Questions and report of the practical tasks. Evaluation of those learning aims related to noise measurement and analysis of acoustic problems using numerical calculations. Learning aims: A5/CG5, A7/CG7, A85 (CE76/OP19), A86 (CE77/OP20). 50
 
Other comments on the Evaluation



Following the guidelines of the degree, two systems of evaluation are offered: continuous assessment (recommended) and a final examination.  Evaluation with only a final examination will be only allowed in situations in which it is imposible to follow the system recommended. 

LANGUAGE: Any student can choose which language will use during the assessment process (English, Spanish).

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: 

The continuous  assessment will be based in the evaluation of practical task, projects and two tests. Once a student has signed a document of agreement with the process of continuous assessment, the final degree will be obtained by the application of the criteria described bellow, even though a student could miss some of the tasks or tests envolved in the process.


Once the student has shown good skills in all the assesed learning aims (at least 4 over 10 points in each learning aim assesed), the final grade with be obtained from the weighted sum of the grade obtained in the  following tasks with the weights given.

  1. Tutored works: 20 % of the final grade. 
  2. Reports of practical tasks(Weight: 50 %). 
  3. Two short answer tests  (Total weight:30 %)
FINAL EXAMINATION:

A final examination is  available  for those students that for some reason could not follow the continuous evaluation assessment process. In this case there is date scheduled and officially published for final examination.  The final examination will consist in two short answer tests, and some additional questions related with the practical tasks and projects. 

The subject is assessed in a 0 to 10 points scale and it is considered "passed" if the final  grade obtained if equal or greater than 5. 

RETAKE:

There is scheduled date at the end of the semester for a final examination retake, for those students that either dropped out during the semester or failed. Prior the examination, a student can choose to follow the continuous assessment or the final examination. In the former selection, the grades obtained in the projects and practical tasks will be taken into account and the student will only answer to the short answer tests. If the later, (final examination), the student will have also to answer a full examination as described before.
