In order to pass the course it is necessary to complete the different parts of the course (master sessions, practices in labs, and tutored works). The final grade will be the weighted geometric mean of the grades of the different parts (i.e. it is not possible to pass the subject with a zero in one part). If "x" is the grade obtained for the master sessions, "y" for the practices in labs, and "z" for the tutored works, the final grade will be FG = x^0.3*y^0.2*z^0.5.

During the first month, students must declare if they opt for continuous or eventual assessment. Students who select continuous assessment and submit the first task or lab report may not be listed as "Not Present".

Students that opt by the eventual assessment procedure, must submit an additional dossier with detailed information about the events and issues that arose during the execution of the different tasks, and especially the tutored work. In addition, during the first month of the course, professors will notify students if they have to do the tutored work individually, in the case they opt for unique assessment.

Second call and extraordinary calls

The assessment system will be the same as the eventual assessment of the first call. 

Students that have opted by the continuous assessment procedure, can decide to maintain the grades of the parts they have already passed in the first call or discard them.

Other comments

The grades obtained are only valid for the current academic year.

Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be analyzed continuously

Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be monitored continuously. In the case in which the performance of a member of the group wouldn't be adequate compared with the performance of his or her team mates, he or she could be excluded from the group and/or qualified individually.

The use of any material during the tests will have to be explicitly authorized.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution”.
