Students may choose one of the following two assessment options: 1) Continuous assessment: Final grade will consist of a comprehensive test (up to 4 points) and lab reports (up to 6 points) A minimum grade of 35% in the comprehensive test is required in order to pass the course. If this minimum is not reached, the final grade will be: a) 4.9, if the final grade that would have been obtained without the 35% requisite in the comprehensive test is no less than 5; b) directly the grade obtained in the comprehensive test, otherwise. Lab report grades from the ordinary call will be kept for the extraordinary call, in which students will be allowed to take a new comprehensive test. 2) Global assessment: The final grade is the one achieved in the comprehensive test, for both ordinary and extraordinary calls. It is assumed that students choose the continuous assessment mode as soon as a lab report is turned in. Students are allowed to turn in their reports and exam indistinctly in English, Spanish or Galician. Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the deliverables or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution. |
