1. Continuous assessment The course can be
passed with full marks from continuous assessment, with no need to sit the
final exam. Students who assist to more than 2 laboratory sessions are graded using continuous assessment. The weighting and
content of each continuous assessment part are as follows: 1.1 Test (NExam): - It covers all of the contents taught in the
theoretical classes and includes short exercises or problems. - The date of this test will be the same of the final exam.
- The student pass this part if he/she gets a mark
greater than or equal to 4 over 10.
1.2 Laboratory practices (NPrac): - The student should complete 4 of the 5 sessions
in order to pass this part. - The student should correctly implement the
circuits described in the guidelines of the practice and submit a report
corresponding to each laboratory session. The qualification of each practice
depends on these achievements. - It can be developed individually or by groups of
2 students.
1.3 Job (NTask): - This task will be assigned to each student individually.
- The student should present a written report of this task.
1.4 Project (NPro): - It can be developed individually or by groups of
2 students. - It should be oral presented by the authors.
- The student will pass this part if he/she gets a
mark greater than or equal to 4 over 10.
1.4 Final qualification of continuous assessment
(Final_ca) The final qualification (Final_ca) of continuous assessment is obtained as
follows: Final_ca: = (NExam*0.3 + NPrac*0.2 + NTask*0.2 + NPro*0.3) if NExam and Npro are greater than or equal to 4; Final_ca = min [(NExam*0.3 + NPrac*0.2 + NTask*0.2 + NPro*0.3), 4.5] in other case; The student who fails one or more of the parts of continuous assessment has
another opportunity to pass the following parts in the final exam: - He/she can improve his/her assigned job and this mark replaces the previous one (NTask).
- He/she can
complete and present his/her project and this mark replaces the previous one (NPro).
2. Final exam
and qualification There is a final exam at the end of the bimester and in July. - In the final exam, all content is evaluated. It usually
consists of several questions and problems and lasts 2 hours. The
pass mark for this exam is 4 out of 10 and deserves 50% of the final qualification (NExam). - The students must present the results and reports of the same practices developed in continuous assessment. This practices represent 20% of the final qualification (NPrac).
- In order to pass the subject the students should
present a project with the same objectives and complexity of the project developed
in continuous assessment. This project deserves 30% of the final
qualification (NPro) and it is necessary to obtain a mark greater o equal to 4 out of 10 in order to pass the course.
Final_ex = (NExam*0.5 + NPrac*0.2 + NPro*0.3) if NExam and Npro are greater than or equal to 4; Final_ex = min [(NExam*0.5 + NPrac*0.2 + NPro*0.3), 4.5] in other case; 3. Other
comments - The grades obtained from the continuous assessment
and final exams are only valid for the current academic
year. - The use of books, notes or electronic devices such as phones or
computers is not permitted in any test or exam. Mobile phones must be
turned off and be out of reach of the student.
