Lecturing Written assessment: theoretical questions and problems.
The written assessment has the aim of evaluating the learning of all the theoretical contents of the subject. This must consist in questions where conceptual and logical reasoning should prevail, to verify the intellectual maturity of the students by obtaining conclusions from the notions or the exposed theories in class.

Project based learning The project will consist in a work in groups of students. This will be evaluated in a way that individual work is assessed, together with the positive independence (i.e., each member of the group should have to had participated and collaborated to the final version of the project). 20 B3

Other comments on the Evaluation

The final assessment will have to the following characteristic. In the first place, it has to be complete, that is to say, will cover all given matter, since it judges what the student knows of a subject, no of a single part of it. Second, it has to contain problems and questions, to verify the intellectual maturity of the students to obtain conclusions from the notions and exposed theories in class. In third place, has to provide a greater weight to that part of the matter that has not been already evaluated in the previous continuous evaluation. It will be carried out during the assessment week and will be marked over 10 points. 

The interim assessment is aimed at a better monitoring of the subject by the student, and in which the contents of Block 1 will be evaluated.

The project based learning will be carried out in groups of students, and will represent the 20% of the final mark. The project will have to be evaluated so that it guarantees the individual requirements and a positive independence, this means that all the members of the group have to have worked and contributed to the final product and have to dominate, up to a minimum, all the aspects of the project. All have to show, therefore, a deep knowledge of the product delivered, independently of the part in which they had centred their efforts.

The evaluation of the labs will be carried out by means of reports, where the knowledge acquired by the students during the laboratory classes will be assessed. This will represent the 15% of the total mark.

The overall final mark of the student will represent the sum of the marks awarded to each one of the before commented parts, being the continuous evaluation mark (NEC). To pass the matter by Continuous Evaluation, the final mark (NEC) will have to be greater or the same to 5, and will be calculated in the following way:

NEC = 0,40*PF + 0,25*PI + 0,20*EBP + 0,15*MP

If the NEC is lower than 5, the student will have to go to the ordinary examination of all the contents of the subject, that will represent 100% of the mark. Besides, the student will have to go to the ordinary examination in the following assumptions:
  • The no realisation or delivery of any of the previous interim assessments.
  • To obtain at least a mark of 4 over 10 in the final written assessment of the continuous evaluation.

In any one of these assumptions, the mark of continuous evaluation will be calculated as: 

NEC FINAL = min (4, NEC)

Furthermore, all those students that wish to improve their mark obtained at the continuous evaluation will be able to attend the ordinary examination.

In both, the ordinary call as well as in the extraordinary (July call) all the competencies of the subject will be assessed.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: 

Students are expected to show adequate ethical behaviour, committing to act honestly. Based on article 42.1 of the Regulation on the evaluation, qualification and quality of teaching and the student learning process of the University of Vigo, as well as point 6 of the fifth rule of Order DEF/711/2022, of July 18th, which establishes the requirements for evaluation, progress, and ongoing enrolment in military educational training centres for incorporation into the ranks of the Armed Forces, any violation of academic integrity in the assessment process, as well as the cooperation in it will result in the assignment of a failing grade to the student (zero) for the entire course in the corresponding assessment opportunity, regardless of the percentage of importance that the test in question had in the overall continuous assessment and independently of other disciplinary actions that may be applied.


In the academic activities and assignments of this course, the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools is allowed, used in an ethical, critical and responsible manner. In case you have used GAI, you should critically evaluate any results it provides, carefully verify any citations or references generated, and declare the use of these tools. It is not necessary to disclosure the use of GAI in tasks that do not produce content (proofreading language   - spelling or grammar - in a document, translating text, obtaining suggestions to reorganize content or modify the style of a document, or to adapt the format of bibliographic references). AI-generated content (text, images, etc.) must be disclosured and correctly referenced, providing, at least, the following elements: generated content, prompt used in the query, tool used, version, company authoring the software, date on which the query was made and the link to the tool's website. The detection of situations involving non-disclosure of GAI will be considered academic fraud and the measures described in the previous paragraph will be applied.
