Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Seminars	Throughout the duration of the course, problems will be proposed. Students have to solve these problems in class and they will be graded. Evaluation will be based on the appropriateness of the answers proposed, the quality of the arguments and presentation of the information. Learning outcomes: RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, RA5, RA6, RA8, RA9, RA10	20		B1 B2 B5	C1 C2 C4 C13	D1 D3 D5 D8 D11
Laboratory practical	Attendance at the laboratory sessions is compulsory, as is carrying out the work proposed there and the elaboration of a laboratory notebook. The evaluation will be done as follows: 1. The quality of previously prepared documentation word. (10%) 2. Lab work and results (10%) 3. Lab-book accuracy. (10%) Learning outcomes: RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, RA5, RA6, RA8, RA9, RA10	30		B1 B2 B5	C1 C2 C4 C13	D1 D3 D5 D8 D11
Problem and/or exercise solving	The following evaluations will be performed throughout the course: 1. Students will have to do a short test in class halfway through the term. (10%) 2. A long, written exam, at the end of the term that covers all the concepts introduced during the lectures and seminar sessions. (40%) Learning outcomes: RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4, RA5, RA6, RA8, RA9, RA10	50			C1 C2 C4 C13	D1 D5 D8

Other comments on the Evaluation
In order to pass the subject, students will need to obtain 5 marks or more in the written exam. The percentages mentioned in the above section ‘Assessment’ may be modified in the Formal Resit End-of-Term Exam call (2nd Exam opportunity) and in the Formal End-of-Degree Exam call. The Formal End-of-Degree Exam call will be a single exam, which will account for 100% of the final grade. This test will include multiple-choice questions, problems/exercises and a section where the competencies acquired in the laboratory practical sessions will be evaluated. If the student does not sit this exam or does not pass it, they will be evaluated in the conventional way, the same as all the other students. In the Formal Resit End-of-Term Exam call (2nd Exam opportunity), the student can choose to be assessed using continuous evaluation or not. If the student chooses continuous assessment, the exam will be the equivalent to that corresponding to the End-of-Term Exam (1st Exam opportunity), and the remaining grade will be calculated using the grades obtained in the activities carried out throughout the duration of the course with the same percentages. If the student does NOT opt for continuous assessment, the test will account for 70% of the final grade (the remaining 30% corresponds to the practicals, laboratory sessions, needed for a pass grade). Attendance of a minimum of 80% of the practical sessions (or the completion, at home, of the alternative experimental work proposed in the context of a health emergency) is required to pass the course. For those students who work or who have family responsibilities, a set of non-face-to-face activities will be proposed as an alternative to the laboratory sessions. This situation will need to be documented within the first week of the course or, if it appears during the course, at the date of the contract signature or when the family commitment arises. Exam call dates have been approved by the "Science Faculty and are listed below: Final End-of-Degree Examination call: 16th of September 2024 (16:00h) End-of-Term Exam call (1st Exam opportunity): 4th of November 2024 (16:00h) Resit End-of-Term Exam (2nd Exam opportunity) ": 1st of July 2025 (16:00h) In case of disagreement concerning the above dates, those officially approved and published on the Science Faculty website will be the accepted valid dates.
