The student can choose between two evaluation systems: continuous assessment or exam-only examination. Previously to the global examination (or at the entrance of the session), the student will decide the evaluation system. Before permorming each task or delivery, the procedure and dates for the review of the qualifications will be published within a reasonable period of time. 1. The CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT includes a series of tasks performed during the course. They are not recoverable, i.e., if a student can not fulfilled them in the time established, the professor is not bound to repeat them. The obtained qualification will be valid only for the current academic course. The continuous assessment consists of: a) two examinations; b) delivery (in the last weeks of the course) of memories of the lab and autonomous-ICT practices (recommended, but not mandatory) ; c) autonomous tasks (case studies / analysis of situations) (recommended, not mandatory); d) the global examination. 2. GLOBAL ASSESSMENT at the end of the semester. It is mandatory for all students. 3. FIRST CALL E1=score obtained in the mandatory part of the global examination (up to 10 points). PM=score obtained in the lab practices (attendance, quality of the reports...) (up to 10 points). PEC=score obtained in both exams (continous assessment) (up to 10 points). S=score obtained in the autonomous tasks (case studies / analysis of situations) (up to 10 points). Continuous assessment: If PEC < 4 points, Qualification = PEC If PEC >= 4 points, Qualification = 0.4 * E1 + 0.5 * PEC + 0.07 * PM + 0.03 * S Exam-only assessment: Qualification = E1 4. SECOND CALL. Previously to the exam (or at the entrance of the session) the students choose between continous or exam-only assessment. The qualification formulas are the same (as those of the first call). 5. END-OF-PROGRAM EXAM. Only exam-only-assesment. 6. STUDENTS PRESENTED AT THE COURSE. A student is considered "presented" if he/she receives the final exam or both exercises of the continuous assessment. 7. Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution |
