  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Lecturing There will be a Partial Exam (theory related to Didactic Units I and II) and a 2nd Partial Exam (Didactic Units III and IV). Those who do not pass any of the parts will be examined again in a Final Exam. It is necessary to obtain, at least, a 5 (out of 10) in each Partial Exam.

It is also necessary to achieve a minimum score in each of the Didactic Units.

In the case that laboratory practices cannot be carried out, the grade of the theory exams will represent 30% of the final grade.

Other comments on the Evaluation

There will be two different groups of students: those who have never taken a similar subject (group A) and those who already have knowledge (demonstrated) of the instrumental techniques explained in the subject (group B).

GROUP A STUDENTS:

  • 1ST ANNOUNCEMENT:

There will be two partial exams, in which the theoretical knowledge acquired in the subject will be evaluated, having to obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in each exam; in addition, a minimum score must be obtained in each of the Didactic Units. Each partial theory exam will represent 20% of the final grade.

There will be two partial exams, in which the numerical resolution of problems will be evaluated, having to obtain a minimum of 5 points out of 10 in each exam. Each partial exam of problems will represent 10% of the final grade. At the teacher's discretion, these exams could be substituted by the handing in of different tasks.

For the final evaluation, the attendance to the classes of theoretical explanation of the subject will be taken into account (5%), as well as the participation in them (5%).

If all the students can and agree, laboratory practices will be carried out, which will be graded by the teacher on the basis of the attendance (compulsory), and the attitude and aptitude of the students during the development of the same. Each group will have to deliver a report of the practices where all the calculations carried out, as well as the discussion and justification of the final results are included. The qualification represents 30%. In the case of not being able to carry out this activity, this score will be distributed between the theory exams (each exam will pass from 20 to 25%) and the problem solving exams (each exam will pass from 10 to 20%).

  • 2ND ANNOUNCEMENT:

In the second call of the course (July) all the practical (problem solving and laboratory practices, if applicable) and theoretical part of the course will be examined, having to pass the minimum score required for each of the different Didactic Units of the course. 


OPTIONAL EVALUATION for STUDENTS OF GROUP B: 

Performance of a work on a technique (or group of techniques) of analysis that has not been included in the syllabus (neither of the subject of the Master, nor of the subject that the student has taken previously). It will be graded according to the attitude and the work itself (the way of approaching the concepts to be developed, writing, presentation... of the written document and exposition, if applicable) and will account for up to 100% of the final grade.
