a) First CA opportunity (at the end of the term). In order to facilitate a continuous evaluation during the term, two voluntary partial exams will be carried out (with contents of the Theory (T) master sessions and those of resolution of exercises/Problems (P)), which, if approved, will release the corresponding contents out of the final written exam of the First opportunity. To pass these voluntary partial exams it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 3.50 in the written exams (T and P) and an average (0.5*(T+P)) equal to or greater than 5. Each voluntary partial exam represents a 70 /3% of the subject grade. Other weekly Voluntary Theory Tests (PVT) or monthly Voluntary Problems Tests (PVP) only increase the final grade if a minimum average grade of 3.50 is reached in the written exams (T and P). Attendance to Group B (SB) and Group C (SC) sessions is compulsory, so the grade obtained in the Seminar Work Report/Physics Project (PF) and in the Laboratory Report will be weighted by taking into account the assistance to laboratory practices (L). The grade can be increased if Voluntary Laboratory Tests are undertaken (PVL).
b) Second opportunity CA (July). The values obtained previously in the following assessables are maintained: PVT, PVP, PVL, SB, SC, PF and L. The written exam now consists of 3 exercises and 9 short-answer questions and assumes as a whole, as in the First opportunity EC , 70% of the final mark.
In both EC opportunities the Final Note is obtained by the following formula:
Final Score = Score A + Score B + Score C
Score A = [(T + PVT) + (P + PVP)] * 0.35
Note B = (L + PVL) * SB * 0.15
Note C = (PF + PVL) * SC * 0.15
T1, T2, T3: Theory grade for blocks 1 (Optics), 2 (Electric Field) and 3 (Magnetic Field), respectively
P1, P2, P3: note of Problems of blocks 1 (Optics), 2 (Electric Field) and 3 (Magnetic Field), respectively
T: average of the theory grades
P: mean of the problem scores
T + PVT: the PVT note is added if both P and T are equal to or exceed 3.50 points
P + PVP: the PVP note is added if both P and T are equal to or exceed 3.50 points
L: average mark of the 5 laboratory practices
SB: attendance at sessions B (SB = number of sessions attended/5)
L + PVL: the PVL note is added if L is equal to or exceeds 3.50 points
PF: Physics Project note
SC: attendance at C sessions (SC = number of sessions attended/3)
PF + PVL: the note of the PVL is added if PF equals or exceeds 3.50 points
The students have a simulator for calculating qualifications in MooVi platform.
2.- Global Assessment (GA):
Those students who cannot comply with the continuous assessment (CA) method described above may apply for a single global assessment, understood as that which is carried out in a single academic act, which may include as many tests as are necessary to accredit that the student has acquired all the competences described in the this Teaching Guide.
