Other comments on the Evaluation

Student final mark is obtained by a weighted sum over the scores achieved in each of the above mentioned parts. A continuous evaluation mark (NEC) is defined according to :

NEC = 0,15 * IntExam1+ 0,15* IntExam2 + 0,3 * PracticeMark+ 0,4 * FinalExam

Passing the course by continuous evaluation requires a NEC mark equal to or greater than 5 points. However, minimum requirements will be required in some sections in order to ensure a satisfactory balance between all types of skills. These requirements are:

1. Carry out of both intermediate exams and conduct at least 6 of the 7 practical sessions.
2. Obtain a grade of 4 or more points out of 10 in the Final Exam

Students with NEC less than 5 or who do not fulfill one of the two previous requirements must attend to the regular exam in order to pass the subject. For those students who do not meet the two requirements the final mark of continuous evaluation is obtained as: NEC FINAL = min (4, NEC). In addition, the option to attend the regular exam is offered to all those students who wish to improve their continuous evaluation mark. Students that do not achieve to pass the subject by continuos evaluation shoult attend to a eight-hours intensive course previous to the date of the regular exam.

Both the regular and the extraordinary exam (July exam) will evaluate all the subject skills. Therefore, these exams will include a question regarding the tasks performed during the practices.

ETHICAL COMMITMENT: Students are expected to have appropriate ethical behavior. If unethical behavior (cheating, plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices or others) is detected, the student will be penalized with the impossibility of passing the subject by the continuous evaluation modality (in which he/she will obtain a grade of 0). If this type of behavior is detected in regular or extraordinary exams, a 0 mark qualification is transferred to his/her academic record.
