ASSESSMENT: The participation of the student in any of the systems of evaluation of the subject (problem solving, mentored work , presentation and laboratory practical) will involve the qualificationof the subject. It is required a minimum attendance to 90% of the laboratory practical to have right to its evaluation. Otherwise, the mark for this section will be 0.0 and they will have to take an exam in the FINAL EXAM. The evaluation by both essay and objective questions (50%) will be carried out in several exams along the course. If the students fail to pass the exam, they have to recover it in the FINAL EXAM.
A student who do not "officially renounces to continuous assessment", will fail if he/she does not achieve a MINIMUM mark of 4.0 points (out of 10) in each of the parts of the "FINAL EXAMINATION". If the minimum mark in the "FINAL EXAMINATION" is passed, the student will pass the course if the FINAL GRADE is ≥ 5.0, that is, if the sum of the marks obtained in the different systems of evaluation of the course is ≥ 5.0.
Second call: The same criteria will be applied in the second sitting. With regard to the July exam, the grade of the different assessment systems (laboratory practicals, problem solving and exercises) will be maintained, so students will only take the "FINAL EXAM".
STUDENTS RELEASED FROM CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: When the School releases a student from the continuous assessment process, his/her grade will be the sum of 90% of the mark obtained in the "FINAL EXAM" and 10% of the laboratory practicals mark.
ETHICAL COMMITMENT: The student is expected to show appropriate ethical behaviour. If ethically reprehensible behaviour is detected (for example: copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorised electronic devices, etc.) the student will not be considered to meet the necessary requirements to pass the subject. In this case the overall grade for the current academic year will be a fail (0.0). The use of any electronic device will not be permitted during the assessment tests unless expressly authorised. Bringing an unauthorised electronic device into the examination room will be considered as a reason for failing the subject in the current academic year and the overall grade will be a fail (0.0).
