The student will have two calls to pass the subject: the ordinary and the extraordinary call. In the ordinary call, two options are considered to pass the subject: passing by continuous assessment 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 be able 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), Practice 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 in that part. There will be two Partial Tests (PP) throughout the course. These continuous assessment tests will be interspersed with theory sessions during
the quadmester. The student must present a report for each laboratory practice 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 completion and delivery of different exercises, which will be evaluated in item EE. In the
event that a student cannot attend a session in which an evaluable exercise is
carried out due to force majeure, he or she must notify the teachers by email
so that it is recorded and this circumstance is taken into account at the assessment
time. 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 continuous assessment test (PF) will include all the contents of the subject and will have a weight of 40% in the final grade of continuous assessment. The grade of the continuous evaluation (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, 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 method must take 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, being an essential requirement to pass the course to obtain a grade greater than or equal to 5 points out of 10. Finally, it should be noted that all students have the option of improving their grade obtained by continuous assessment (NEC) taking the ordinary exam. Extraordinary call Students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary call will take an 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 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.
