Other comments on the Evaluation

The student evaluation and qualification criteria proposed for this subject are set out. Given the peculiarities of the Centro Universitario de la Defensa, where this subject will be taught, and taking into account that the students are in a boarding school, only evaluation criteria for assistants are proposed.

Ordinary call:

Continuous evaluation

In the ordinary call, a process of continuous evaluation is carried out in which the weight of the different parts in which the subject is structured over the final mark is as follows:

  • Knowledge of theory (T): 70%
  • Practical knowledge (L): 30%

Knowledge of theory:

The theory knowledge part is evaluated by combining two scoring tests and a final exam as follows:
  • Partial exam 1 (P1):
    • A test of approximately 1 hour and a half in length and preferably located at the end of themes 1 and 2 of the subject.
    • Weight: 15% of the continuous assessment score (NEC).
    • It is qualified with 10 points.
    • Made individually.
    • It can take the form of a multiple choice questionnaire, short answer questionnaire, problem solving or some combination of the above.
    • There is no minimum qualification.
  • Partial Exam 2 (P2):
    • A test of approximately 1 hour and a half, preferably located at the end of themes 3 and 4 of the course.
    • Weight: 15% of the continuous assessment score (NEC).
    • It is qualified with 10 points.
    • Made individually.
    • It can take the form of a multiple choice questionnaire, short answer questionnaire, problem solving or some combination of the above.
    • There is no minimum qualification.
  • Final exam (EF):
    • Exam to be taken on the evaluation dates.
    • Weight: 40% of the continuous assessment score (NEC).
    • It is qualified with 10 points.
    • Made individually.
    • They can be in the form of a multiple choice questionnaire, short answer questionnaire, problem solving or some combination of the above.
    • A minimum qualification of 4.0 is required.

Practical knowledge:

The practical part of the course is assessed by means of group work and a practical laboratory test, as follows:
  • Group work (L1):
    • Design and simulation of an electronic system for the solution of an engineering problem.
    • The work proposal will be approved by the teachers to check that it meets the minimum milestones of the task.
    • If the students do not propose a work within the deadline set by the teachers at the beginning of the course, a a generic work will be assigned to them with the necessary requirements.
    • Weight: 15% of the continuous evaluation score (NEC).
    • A minimum score of 4.0 points is required.
  • Practical laboratory exam (L2):
    • This is a test to evaluate the ability acquired by the student to assemble electronic circuits and to check their operation with the instruments used in the practices.
    • The realization of the test is individual.
    • Weight: 15% of the continuous evaluation score (NEC).
    • It is qualified with 10 points.
    • A minimum score of 4.0 points is required.

Final mark and minimum requirements to pass the course through continuous assessment:

To ensure that the student has acquired the minimum skills in each of the aspects of the subject, students will be required to achieve a minimum score of 4.0 out of 10 in the final exam of theory (EF), and a minimum score of 4.0 out of 10 in the practical part (L1 and L2).

In this way, the final mark in continuous assessment (NEC) is calculated using the following formulas, a minimum mark of 5.0 in the NEC being necessary to pass the course:

NEC = 0.15*P1 + 0.15*P2 + 0.4*EF + 0.15*L1 + 0.15*L2

In the event that the minimum mark required in any of the parts is not reached, the final mark for continuous assessment will be calculated as:

NEC = min(4.0, NEC)

The student who does not pass the course in continuous evaluation must take the ordinary exam.

Ordinary exam
  • Knowledge of theory (T): 70%
  • Practical knowledge (L): 30%

Theory:

Consists of:

  • A single exam, of approximately 3 hours, to be performed within the course calendar.
  • It is qualified with 10 points (T).
  • Individual.
  • It can include tests, short questions and/or problems or a combination of them.

Laboratory:

Consists of:

  • A single practical exam, of approximately 45 min, at the laboratory, related to the practical contents of the subject.
  • It is qualified with 10 points (L).
  • Individual.

Final mark and minimum requirements to pass the subject:

The final mark (NEO) will be computed following the next equation:

NEO = 0.7 * T + 0.3 * L

A
minimum of 4.0 out of 10 points are required for the T exam, and a minimum of 4.0 out of 10 points are required for the L
exam. Once obtained these minimums, a punctuation equal or higher
than 5.0 points over 10 in the total computation of NEO is mandatory to pass the subject.

Extraordinary exam:

The
students that did not pass the subject on first convocatory must attend
the second convocatory (or extraordinary exam), that will have the same
structure, exam duration, percentages and minimum points required than
in the ordinary exam.


Code of Honor:

During exames, the use of non-allowed electronic devices, notes or books is forbidden.
Exams lacking some of the sheets will not be graded.
All the results obtained must be properly justified, in any of the exams or activities. None of the numerical results will be considered if no explanation is given about the methodology used to obtain them.

It is expected that all the students abide to these considerations. If a non-ethical behaviour is detected, the student will automatically be graded with a 0.0 at the current convocatory.
