A pass mark can be achieved in the subject either by continuous evaluation or single evaluation. Both evaluation methods are excluding. Students who
assist to more than 2 laboratory sessions are graded using continuous evaluation.

1. Continuous evaluation

Students who opt for the continuous evaluation method will
have two assessment opportunities, a first call at the end of the term and a
second call at the end of the course (June – July).

The first call consists of four different evaluation
activities that will be carried out throughout the term. The dates of all
evaluations will be published at the beginning of the term. The weighting and
content of each continuous assessment part are as follows:

1.1 Objective questions exam and/or questions
of development (NExam):

• It covers all of the contents taught in the
  theoretical classes.  Includes short problems or questions, or multiple answer questions.


• The exam will last 1 hour (type A hour).


• The student passes this part if he/she gets a
  mark greater than or equal to 4 over 10.

1.3 Laboratory practices
(NPrac):

• The student should correctly implement the
  circuits described in the guidelines of the practice and submit a report
  corresponding to each laboratory session. The qualification of each
  practice depends on these achievements.


• It can be developed individually or by groups of
  2 students. In this last case and if both attend the practice, the
  qualification is the same for the 2 students.

1.4 Project (NPro):

• It should be carried out by collaborative groups
  of 3 or more students, preferably.


• The 70% of the final mark (NPro) is obtained from
  the individual tasks assigned to each student and the 30% from the global
  tasks of the group.


• As part of the individual tasks, each student
  will be assigned a theoretical work at the begining of the term. This work
  consists of a preliminary study of the tasks to be carried out in the
  project. This previous work represents 5% of the final grade of the
  project.


• In case of plagiarism or abandonment of a member
  of a work group is detected, his/her score will be fail (0) and will not
  compute for the score of the rest of the group.


• The student will pass this part if he/she gets an
  NPro mark greater than or equal to 4 over 10.

1.5 Presentation of the project results (PPro)

Each student must present the results of the project orally and/or in writing.
These activities represent 5% of the final grade of the subject.

1.6 Final qualification of continuous evaluation (Final_ac)

The final qualification (Final_ac) of continuous
assessment is obtained as follows:

Final_ac = (NExam*0.2 + NExerc*0.1 +
NPrac*0.3 + NPro*0.35 + PPro*0.05) if NExam and Npro are greater than or equal to 4;

Final_ca = min [(NExam*0.2 + NExerc*0.1 +
NPrac*0.3 + NPro*0.35 + PPro*0.05), 4] in other case;

The student who fails one or more assessments of the
continuous evaluation in the first call can recover the following parts in the
second call:

• He/she can take the theoretical exam and this
  mark replaces the previous one (NExam).


• He/she can complete and present his/her project
  again and these marks replace the previous ones (NPro and PPro).
• He/she can repeat the problems and / or systems design exercises and this mark replaces the previous one (NExerc).

2. Single evaluation

As with continuous evaluation, students who opt for a single
evaluation method will have two assessment opportunities, first call and second
call. In both cases the single evaluation will consist of the following parts:

• An exam evaluating all the theoretical contents
  of the subject. It usually consists of several questions of development
  and short problems and lasts 2 hours. The pass mark for this exam is 4 out
  of 10 and deserves 40% of the final qualification (NExam).


• A practical exam covering the same aims of the
  labortory practices developed in continuous evaluation. This exam lasts 2
  hours and represents 20% of the final qualification (NPrac).


• An individual project with the same objectives
  and complexity of the project developed in continuous evaluation. This
  project deserves 40% of the final qualification (NPro). It is necessary to
  obtain a mark greater o equal to 4 out of 10 in order to pass the course.

In the case of single evaluation, the final grade
(Final_au) is obtained as follows:

Final_au = (NExam*0.4 + NPrac*0.2 + NPro*0.4) if NExam
and Npro are greater than or equal to 4;

Final_au = min [(NExam*0.4 + NPrac*0.2 + NPro*0.4), 4]
in any other case;

3. Other comments

• The student can use the Spanish, English or
  Galician for the reports, works, exams or presentations.


• The grades obtained from the continuous or single
  evaluation are only valid for the current academic year.


• The use of books, notes or electronic devices
  such as phones or computers is not permitted in any examination. Mobile
  phones must be turned off and be out of reach of the student.


• In the case that plagiarism is detected in any of
  the reports/tasks/exams done/taken, the final score for the subject will
  be fail (0) and the teachers will inform the School authorities so that
  they take the actions they consider appropriate.
