Assessable Exercises (EE):
During the course, some exercises will be proposed that students must solve and submit (in particular in the seminar hours). Each exercise will be scored out of 10 points. The EE grade will be the average value of the grades obtained in each exercise delivered and will represent 10% of the continuous evaluation grade. |

Partial Tests (PP):
Two written tests (theoretical questions and problems) that evaluates the contents taught to date. These tests will be interspersed with theory sessions during the semester. Each test will be scored out of 10 points. The PP1 (15%) and PP2 (15%) grades will represent 30% of the continuous assessment grade.
Final Test (PF):
Written test (theoretical questions and problems) that evaluate the entire subject. This test will take place at the end of the semester. The final test will be scored out of 10 points. The note PF will represent 40% of the continuous assessment grade. |

The student will have two calls to pass the subject: the ordinary and the extraordinary call. In the ordinary call, there are two different ways of passing the subject: passing the continuous assessment plan or passing a final exam (ordinary exam), which will include all the contents of the subject. In case of failing the first call, the student will have the opportunity to pass the subject by passing the extraordinary exam, which will also include all the contents of the subject. A numerical grading system with values between 0 and 10 will be used, according to the current legislation (R.D. 1125/2003 de 5 de septiembre, B.O.E. nº224 de 18 de septiembre). Ordinary call: continuous assessment The continuous assessment method (EC) will assess the results achieved by students in the different activities carried out throughout the course, grouping into five parts: Final Test (PF), Partial Tests (PP), Laboratory session Reports (MP), Assessable Exercises (EE), and Group Project (TG). The grade of each part will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the items made up to the moment of the evaluation. There will be two Partial Tests (PP) throughout the semester. These tests will be interspersed with theory sessions during
the quadmester. The student must present a report for each laboratory session if indicated during the session, which will be evaluated in item MP. In the seminar and/or theoretical class hours, the student may be offered the answering and submission of different exercises, which will be evaluated in item EE. In the
event that a student cannot attend a session in which an assessable exercise is
carried out due to force majeure, he or she must notify the teachers by email. In addition, students must carry out and present a group project on the design of a mechanism (see laboratory practice PL5) that will be assessed in item TG. The final test (PF) will include all the contents of the subject and will have a weight of 40% in the final grade of the continuous assessment plan. The grade of the continuous assessment plan (NEC) will be the result of applying the weighted arithmetic mean of the grade of each of the parts (PF, CT, MP, EE and TF), as reflected below: NEC = 0,40·PF + 0,15·PP1 + 0,15·PP2 + 0,10·MP + 0,10·EE + 0,10·TG To pass the subject by continuous assessment plan, three conditions must be met: i) having carried out all the evaluable tasks (except in duly justified cases); ii) having a score of at least 4 points out of 10 in the final continuous assessment test (PF); iii) having a value of NEC greater than or equal to 5. In case of breaching any of the first two conditions, the student's grade will be the minimum between their NEC and a 4, then obtaining a failure grade in the continuous assessment of the subject. Ordinary call: ordinary exam Those students who do not pass the subject through the continuous assessment plan should do the ordinary exam, where all the competences of the subject will be assessed. The results of this exam will represent 100% of the student's final grade. Obtaining a grade greater than or equal to 5 points out of 10 in this exam is an essential requirement to pass the subject. Finally, it should be noted that all students have the option of improving their grade obtained on the continuous assessment plan (NEC) when doing the ordinary exam. Extraordinary call Students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary call will do the extraordinary exam that will have the same format and the same requirements as the ordinary exam. 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.
