Evaluation of the work in the laboratory and of the summary report with the data obtained in the practices, its analysis and discussion.
At the end of each practice, the student must prepare a detailed report including aspects such as: objectives and theoretical fundaments of the practice, experimental procedure, materials used, the results obtained and their discussion. In addition, the comprehension of the practice, the student's synthesis capacity, the writing style and the presentation of the report, as well as the student's personal contribution, are evaluated. These reports will be compulsory and rated, each of them, on 10 points.

Other comments on the Evaluation
Minimum requirements to pass the continuous evaluation: the student must obtain a minimum of 5 in his/her total grade. In addition, the students will have to attend to the ordinary exam to pass the course in the following cases:
If the weighted average of tests P1, P2, TI and FE is less than 5.
The non-completion or delivery of any of the proposed tests/activities.
If the obtained grade is lower than 4 points out of 10 in some of the parts (theory and problems) of the Final Exam.
Those students that do not fulfil any of the previous requirements will have a maximum grade of 4.0 in the continuous evaluation. All those students that have passed the continuous evaluation, but wish to improve their qualification, could attend to the ordinary exam.
ETHICAL COMMITMENT:
It is expected that the students have an adequate ethical behaviour.
If it is detected an unethical behaviour (copy, plagiarism, use of unauthorised electronic devices or others) during the final or partial exams, the student will be punished with the impossibility to pass the subject by the modality of continuous evaluation, obtaining a qualification of 0.0.
If this type of behaviour is detected in the ordinary or extraordinary exam, the student will obtain a qualification of 0.0.
In the case of the documents delivered to evaluate the laboratory practices, the total or partial copy in the report (according to the opinion of the teachers of the subject), will be penalized in the final grade of the practices with a qualification of 0.0.
INTENSIVE COURSE:
In the case that the students do not pass the ordinary exam, they have to do the extraordinary examn in July. The Defense University Center proposes for these students an intensive course during the months of June and July of 15 hours during three weeks to prepare this exam. It will be elaborated a specific educational guide for such course. In the extraordinary exam, the student will be evaluated of all the practical/theoretical contents taught in the subject during the ordinary course. In addition, it will be necessary to obtain a grade higher than 4 points out of 10 in each part (theory and problems) of the exam.
