Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Problem and/or exercise solving	Final exam with short questions on the contents of the subject, that will include also some questions on the projects. Evaluated competences: CG4, CG9, CG12, CE71, CT2.	20		B4 B9 B12	C71	D2
Report of practices, practicum and external practices	Deliverables for the lab project. Tasks corresponding to a lab project. Deliverables correspond to each of the stages for the Matlab implementation of a simplified OFDM receiver. The weight given to each of these tasks is the following: Task 1 (Demodulation to baseband): 5% Task 2 (Mode detection and temporal allignment): 5% Task 3 (Frequency error correction): 10% Task 4 (Frame synchronization): 10% Task 5 (Channel estimation and equalization - I): 10%	40		B4 B9 B12	C71	D2 D4
Report of practices, practicum and external practices	Deliverables for the lab project. Implementation in Matlab of a task corresponding to a simplified OFDM receiver. Task 6 (Channel estimation and equalization - II): 10%	10		B4 B9 B12	C71	D2 D4
Essay	Short report related to one of the digital communications standards/systems that employ the techniques seen in the lectures. The report will consist of the answers to a list of questions that will be handed at the beginning of the course, related to practical design aspects of a digital communications system using OFDM. Evaluated competences: CG4, CG9, CE71, CT2.	30		B4 B9	C71	D2

Other comments on the Evaluation
In those cases where the student decides not to take part in the continuous assessment tests, the grade for the short-answer exam covering the course content will account for 100% of the final grade. The student follows the continuous assessment from the moment they submit their first assignment for the course. In any case, they may opt out of continuous assessment within one month. A student who chooses continuous assessment is considered to have taken the course, regardless of whether they sit for the final exam. For group reports, each student's contribution must be explicitly stated, and assessment will be individualized based on that contribution. The professor may conduct interviews to determine individual contributions. Continuous assessment tasks cannot be retaken and are only valid for the current academic year. The grades from continuous assessment tests are retained for the extraordinary exam. For the end of program evaluation, assessment will consist solely of a written exam. In cases of plagiarism or widespread use of AI tools in any of the assignments/tests, the final grade for the course will be a fail (0), and the professors will report the matter to the school's administration to take appropriate actions. Furthermore, professors will inform the school's administration of any unethical conduct by students, with the possibility of the administration taking necessary measures.
