Lecturing

The final grade will be determined from the grades obtained in:

1. Continuous evaluation, through the assessment of practical work and activities proposed throughout the course.
2. Final evaluation, by means of examinations carried out in the calls and dates set by the University and the Centre.

In the framework of the continuous evaluation, it will be a first theoretical partial examination of the contents seen so far (circuits of direct and alternating current). This test will account for 15% of the total grade final of continuous assessment, there being no minimum score on this test.
Before the final exam of the course, a second exam will be taken with contents related to three-phase systems and electrical machines seen up to that point. This test will account for 15% of the total the final mark for continuous assessment, there being no minimum mark in this proof.

Throughout the four-month period, they will take place at different times, short questionnaires to check follow-up and commitment to subject by the students. The tests will be carried out with the support of the platform for the subject's tele-education. These tests will involve in total 10% of the final mark for continuous assessment, with no minimum mark.

At the end of the four-month period, a final exam will be taken that will cover the all the contents of the course, both theoretical and practical, and
which may include multiple choice tests, reasoning questions, resolution of problems and development of case studies.

The examination, which will account for 40 per cent of the final continuous assessment score, will be based on the assessment of problem-based learning by the parties to the Block I: Circuit Theory (Direct Current, Alternating Current and three phase) and Block II: Electrical Machines. It will be distributed in trouble and/or theoretical questions, which can be about the theory and seminars seen in the classroom or about the practices seen in the laboratory.

In order to pass the course, a mark of 5.0 points out of 10 will be required in the computation of the final Continuous Evaluation Note (NEC). Additionally
is required:
- A minimum of 40% of the score assigned to Block I (Theory of Circuits)
- A minimum of 40% of the score assigned to Block II (Machines Electrical)
Those students who do not reach the minimums established in any of the two parts, must be submitted to the Ordinary Examination. In this case, your the final continuous evaluation note (NEC) will be calculated as:
NEC = min {4.0, NEC}

Laboratory practical

Laboratory practical will be evaluated on the basis of the work done by the student during the practice sessions and by evaluating the technical reports produced at the end of each one.
The grade for this block of practices will represent 20% of the total grade end of continuous evaluation. The student must reach 40% of the score assigned to the practices of each of the blocks of the subject.

Qualification Assurance Plan

Recovery plan of the final qualification in the First Call

This plan consists of the right to take a new exam, called the Ordinary exam, on the dates set by the centre, which will replace, if it is higher, the score previously obtained and will count for all purposes in the calculation of the final grade of the first call. This exam will be open to those students who:

Have not passed the subject during the Continuous Assessment (NEC < 5.0)
Wish to improve the grade obtained by the Continuous Assessment method.
Have not fulfilled the ethical commitment that is developed below.

The ordinary examination will be based on the evaluation of problem-based learning in the parts of Block I: Circuit Theory (direct current, alternating current and three-phase current) and Block II: Electrical Machines. The practice part will also be evaluated with a test based on the circuit and machine simulation tool that will be used during the course.

The ordinary examination will contain a theoretical part and a practical part. The student will pass the course when the Note of the Ordinary Examination (NEO) is greater or equal to 5.0 points out of 10, being also necessary to overcome the minimums established in the following table:

Minimum Score
Theory (T) 80%	Block I	40%
Theory (T) 80%	Block II	40%
Practice(P) 20%	Blocks I+II	40%

Once the minimums for each of the parts are exceeded, the NEO will be calculated as:

NEO = 0.8-T + 0.2-P

If the minimums are not passed, the score of the ordinary examination will be calculated as:

NEO = min {4.0, NEO}

Finally, the corresponding First Call Note (NPC) will be calculated from the Note of the Ordinary Examination (NEO) and the Note of the Continuous Evaluation Examination (NEC) as

NPC = max {NEC, NEO}

Recovery plan of the final qualification in the Second Call

Students who have not passed the subject during the first call have the right again to a second exam, called Extraordinary or Second Call, on the dates set by the centre. It is understood that the mark obtained in the exam replaces, if it is higher, the mark obtained in the ordinary or first call exam. This exam will contain a practical part, in addition to the theoretical part. The evaluation system will be governed by the same scales and weightings as those established for the ordinary exam, so that the student will pass the subject when the score of the Extraordinary Examination (NEE) is greater than or equal to 5.0 points out of 10. Once the minimums for each of the parts have been passed, the Extraordinary Examination Note (NEE) will be calculated as:

NEE = 0.8-T + 0.2-P

If the minimums are not passed, the score of the extraordinary examination will be calculated as:

NEE = min {4.0, NEE}

Plan to improve the final rating

Each and every student can access a plan to improve their final grade. The improvement plan consists of the right to take a new exam, coinciding with the ordinary or first call exam, on the dates set by the centre, whose grade will replace the one previously obtained, as long as it is higher than the one already obtained, and will count for all purposes as the only reference in the calculation of the final grade. It is understood that the mark obtained in the exam, in the event that it is higher than the mark obtained through the continuous assessment of the subject throughout the four-month period, replaces the aggregation of the marks of the partial tests of continuous assessment, the practice marks, the marks of the short questionnaires and the final exam of the subject.

Ethical commitment

If unethical behavior (copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices or others) is detected, either during a written test or in the completion of practice reports, you will be penalized as follows:

Continuous evaluation: Given the diverse teaching methodology followed to evaluate each of the two blocks that make up the subject, different considerations will be taken into account. In this way:
Scoring tests (partial exams, short questionnaires and final exam): All points obtained up to this point will be automatically eliminated, without the possibility of recuperation, and will be excluded from the continuous assessment method. The student must pass the subject in the ordinary exam.

Practice reports: all students involved in copying all or part of a report (at the discretion of the subject's teachers) will be penalized in the final grade of the practice block with a mark of 0.0.

Ordinary exam: A grade of 0 will be given in all parts of the exam, and students must take the extraordinary exam.

Extraordinary exam: A grade of 0 will be given in all parts of the exam.
