Two different methods of evaluation will be offered to the students: continuous assessment and exam-only assessment.

Students opting for continuous assessment must take two intermediate tasks: a midterm exam (20% of the final grade) and a project involving the configuration of a basic IP PBX (20% of the final grade), together with a final exam at the end of the course (60% of the final grade). If the score of the final exam is less than 3.5/10, then the final grade of the subject will be the score obtained in this final exam. The score of the project will take into account both the features and performance of the IP PBX configured (70%) and the answers to a practical exam that will be solved individually (30%). Both intermediate tasks are not recoverable and will be only valid for the current course.

Students can also opt for being evaluated by means of just a final exam at the end of the course. In this case, the final grade of the subject will be the score obtained in this exam.

It will be considered that students opt for the continuous assessment if they take the midterm exam or the project proposed. Students taking the final exam will be considered presented to the subject. The final exam will contain some additional questions for those students that have opted by the exam-only assessment.

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

Those students that have not passed the subject in first call will have to take a new written exam in second call. Those students that opted for continuous assessment in first call will be able to choose in second call between exam-only assessment or to keep continuous assessment. In the latter case, they will keep the scores obtained in the intermediate tasks (midterm exam and project) and will only have to take the final exam as the last task. Students must indicate their preferred assessment method at the final exam.

In the end-of-program call the assessment will just consist in the realization of a written exam about ALL the contents of the subject.

The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the
Comisión Académica de Grado (CAG) and will be available at the beginning
of each academic semester.
