The final grade will be determined from the grades obtained in:
1. Continuous evaluation, through the assessment of practical work and activities proposed throughout the course.
2. Final evaluation, by means of examinations carried out in the calls and dates set by the University and the Centre.
In the framework of the continuous evaluation, it will be a first theoretical partial examination of the contents seen so far (circuits of direct and alternating current). This test will account for 15% of the total grade final of continuous assessment, there being no minimum score on this test.
Before the final exam of the course, a second exam will be taken with contents related to three-phase systems and electrical machines seen up to that point. This test will account for 15% of the total the final mark for continuous assessment, there being no minimum mark in this proof.
Throughout the four-month period, they will take place at different times, short questionnaires to check follow-up and commitment to subject by the students. The tests will be carried out with the support of the platform for the subject's tele-education. These tests will involve in total 10% of the final mark for continuous assessment, with no minimum mark.
At the end of the four-month period, a final exam will be taken that will cover the all the contents of the course, both theoretical and practical, and
which may include multiple choice tests, reasoning questions, resolution of problems and development of case studies.
The examination, which will account for 40 per cent of the final continuous assessment score, will be based on the assessment of problem-based learning by the parties to the Block I: Circuit Theory (Direct Current, Alternating Current and three phase) and Block II: Electrical Machines. It will be distributed in trouble and/or theoretical questions, which can be about the theory and seminars seen in the classroom or about the practices seen in the laboratory.
In order to pass the course, a mark of 5.0 points out of 10 will be required in the computation of the final Continuous Evaluation Note (NEC). Additionally
is required:
- A minimum of 40% of the score assigned to Block I (Theory of Circuits)
- A minimum of 40% of the score assigned to Block II (Machines Electrical)
Those students who do not reach the minimums established in any of the two parts, must be submitted to the Ordinary Examination. In this case, your the final continuous evaluation note (NEC) will be calculated as:
NEC = min {4.0, NEC}

| Laboratory practical |
Laboratory practical will be evaluated on the basis of the work done by the student during the practice sessions and by evaluating the technical reports produced at the end of each one.
The grade for this block of practices will represent 20% of the total grade end of continuous evaluation. The student must reach 40% of the score assigned to the practices of each of the blocks of the subject. |

Qualification Assurance Plan Recovery plan of the final qualification in the First Call This plan consists of the right to take a new exam, called the Ordinary exam, on the dates set by the centre, which will replace, if it is higher, the score previously obtained and will count for all purposes in the calculation of the final grade of the first call. This exam will be open to those students who: - Have not passed the subject during the Continuous Assessment (NEC < 5.0)
- Wish to improve the grade obtained by the Continuous Assessment method.
The ordinary examination will be based on the evaluation of problem-based learning in the parts of Block I: Circuit Theory (direct current, alternating current and three-phase current) and Block II: Electrical Machines. The practical part will also be assessed with a test that includes multiple-choice questions, reasoning questions, problem-solving, and the development of practical cases related to the practices carried out. The ordinary examination will contain a theoretical part and a practical part. The student will pass the course when the Note of the Ordinary Examination (NEO) is greater or equal to 5.0 points out of 10, being also necessary to overcome the minimums established in the following table: | Minimum Score | | Theory (T) 80% | Block I | 40% | | Block II | 40% | | Practice(P) 20% | Blocks I+II | 40% | Once the minimums for each of the parts are exceeded, the NEO will be calculated as: NEO = 0.8-T + 0.2-P If the minimums are not passed, the score of the ordinary examination will be calculated as: NEO = min {4.0, NEO} Finally, the corresponding First Call Note (NPC) will be calculated from the Note of the Ordinary Examination (NEO) and the Note of the Continuous Evaluation Examination (NEC) as NPC = max {NEC, NEO} Recovery plan of the final qualification in the Second Call Students who have not passed the subject during the first call have the right again to a second exam, called Extraordinary or Second Call, on the dates set by the centre. It is understood that the mark obtained in the exam replaces, if it is higher, the mark obtained in the ordinary or first call exam. This exam will contain a practical part, in addition to the theoretical part. The evaluation system will be governed by the same scales and weightings as those established for the ordinary exam, so that the student will pass the subject when the score of the Extraordinary Examination (NEE) is greater than or equal to 5.0 points out of 10. Once the minimums for each of the parts have been passed, the Extraordinary Examination Note (NEE) will be calculated as: NEE = 0.8-T + 0.2-P If the minimums are not passed, the score of the extraordinary examination will be calculated as: NEE = min {4.0, NEE} Plan to improve the final rating Each and every student can access a plan to improve their final grade. The improvement plan consists of the right to take a new exam, coinciding with the ordinary or first call exam, on the dates set by the centre, whose grade will replace the one previously obtained, as long as it is higher than the one already obtained, and will count for all purposes as the only reference in the calculation of the final grade. It is understood that the mark obtained in the exam, in the event that it is higher than the mark obtained through the continuous assessment of the subject throughout the four-month period, replaces the aggregation of the marks of the partial tests of continuous assessment, the practice marks, the marks of the short questionnaires and the final exam of the subject. 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 18, 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. |
