Other comments on the Evaluation
1. Ordinary exam 1.1. Continuous Assessment: This consists of the following three parts, each with its respective weights: Part 1: Laboratory (50%), which is divided into: Laboratory practice (25%). Laboratory practice report (25%). Part 2: Theory exams (40%), which is divided into: Essay question exam (25%). Objective question exam (15%). Part 3: Problem-solving and/or exercises (10%). The final grade, which is scored out of a maximum of 10 points, is the sum of the grades for each part if the following conditions are met: Condition 1: Complete a minimum of 80% of the laboratory practices. Condition 2: Obtain a minimum score of 40% in the laboratory assessment (Part 1), the exams (Part 2), and the problem-solving and/or exercises (Part 3). If any of the previous requirements are not met, the final grade will be the sum of all grades or 4 points, if that sum is equal to or greater than 5 points. Students who opt for continuous assessment and who have not reached the minimum mark in any part can recover it in the final exam of the ordinary or extraordinary calls. In the case of laboratory reports, if the minimum grade was not reached, the deadline to present the improvements proposed by the teaching team is the date of the final exam of the ordinary or extraordinary calls. To pass, students have to obtain a mark equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum grade (5 points). If after the first month of academic activity and after taking the first partial exam the students do not expressly waive continuous assessment, it will be considered to be the assessment method they have chosen. 1.2. Global assessment Students who do not opt for continuous assessment or who do not carry out at least 80% of the laboratory work can make a global final exam. The format of the final exam will consist of a laboratory part with practical tasks and a writing part that may include essay and problem solving questions. Each part accounts for 50% of the final grade. To pass, students have to obtain at least the 40% in each part and get a sum of both parts equal or greater than 5 points. If the minimum grade of any part is not achieved, the final grade will be the sum of both grades or 4 points, if that sum is equal to or greater than 5 points. Students who do not opt for continuous assessment and do not attend the final exam will receive a grade of “No show”. 2. Extraordinary exam In the extraordinary exam the assessment will be like the final exam of the global assessment. 3.- Academic Integrity Plagiarism is regarded as seriously dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected on any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.
