  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practical The measurements and results requested in the report of each practice will be evaluated through a practice report or multiple choice questionnaire. At least one practice will be carried out. Weight: between 5% and 15%, depending on the number of practices carried out throughout the course (10% appears on the box as a representative average value).
See other comments for weights and evaluation method.


EXPECTED RESULTS:
Understand the basics of fluid mechanics and hydraulics through experimentation or simulation. Ability to apply these basic knowledge in solving fluid mechanics and hydraulics problems. Know the most used experimental processes when working with fluid flows. Employ current techniques available for fluid flow analysis. Acquire skills in the process of analyzing industrial problems concerning fluids.

Problem solving Brief questionnaires for the establishment of the theory that may consist of: theoretical or practical questions, including the resolution of short exercises. They may be multiple choice questionnaires. The questions will be based on the treatise/explained in the last master classes just before the test. At least one test will be performed. They will be synchronous tests in class, on paper or on the tele-teaching platform. Weight: between 5% and 25%, depending on the number of tests carried out throughout the course (20% appears on the box as a representative value). See other comments for evaluation method.

Other comments on the Evaluation

The student will be able to freely choosethe evaluation methodology (Global or Continuous) within the established deadline and procedure set by the school, and in any case in accordance with current regulations.

In this subject, two grades will be calculated for each student, one derived from the continuous evaluation modality and the other from the global evaluation, and the highest of the two will be assigned.

Continuous Evaluation Mode

In the calculation of the final grade, four evaluation blocks will be considered with the following weights:

- Laboratory practices (10%): delivery of a report/questionnaire and/or completion of an oral polo test minus an experimental/ICT practice throughout the course.

- Problem solving (Questionnaires for the establishment of theory, 20%): questionnaires to be covered in class in paper format or on a tele-teaching platform.

- Examination of development questions (First partial test of continuous assessment, 15%): test consisting of theoretical-practical issues, including resolution of exercises and problems and/or development of a topic. They could include multiple choice questionnaires.

- Examination of development questions (Partial test of second continuous assessment, 15%): test consisting of theoretical-practical issues, including resolution of exercises and problems and/or development of a topic. They could include multiple choice questionnaires.

- Problem solving and/or exercises (Final continuous assessment test, 40%): test consisting of theoretical-practical issues, including resolution of exercises and problems and/or development of a topic. They could include multiple choice questionnaires.

In the spirit of the previous paragraph, the final course grade will be assigned to all students using the following formula:

Note-Minutes = max {0.6 NC + 0.4 NF, NF + (1/30)NC(10 - NF)}

where NC is the weighted average of the continuous assessment tests in the practices (range from 0 to 10) and NF is the grade of the final exam (also out of 10).

Global Evaluation Mode

A final exam will be held on the official date approved by the school, with a maximum score of 100%.

Second opportunity call

In the second opportunity call (extraordinary in July), the same methodology as in the first opportunity will apply, with a new final evaluation test for students who choose continuous evaluation and a new final exam for those following the global evaluation. In the continuous evaluation mode, therefore, the grades of the partial tests and practical work are retained.

Exam Timetable: Exam dates and rooms must be verified in the official webpage of the school:
