Other comments on the Evaluation
Following the guidelines of the degree two evaluation systems will be offered: continuous assessment or final exam. Continuous assessment includes a series of tasks performed during the course (70%) and a multiple-choice test (30%) performed on date according to the official exam schedule. To pass the subject by this evaluation system, 1/3 of the maximum score of each item in the above table must be obtained (except for the multiple choice test) and 50% minimum of the global score (sum of the four blocks) must be reached. The tasks in the course include the active participation in ordinary classroom and laboratory sessions, autonomous working, information search, development and submission of a report and two tests of problem solving (the first scheduled at the middle of the term and the second by the end). These tasks are not recoverable, ie if a student cannot fulfill on time the teacher has no obligation to repeat them and will only be valid for the academic year in which they are made. The students must decide if they choose the ongoing evaluation after the realization of the first test of problem solving on the 8 th - 9 th week of class, in which case they receive a grade that corresponds, independently that they present to other tasks or not. If the score is high as 50% without getting 1/3 in some of the items, the official grade will be 4.5 Evaluation by final exam In addition to the continuous assessment system described above, the student may choose to perform one final exam that will have three parts: - Part I: practice and report (pass or fail). - Part II: multiple-choice test (40%). - Part III: problem solving (60%). It is necessary to pass the first part to be submitted to the other two. Obtaining a "fail" translates into a 2 official grade. If you have made the qualifying practices and the oral presentation of the report (essential) and have passed the third corresponding to, you do not need to perform the first part of the final exam. July exam It consists of a final exam with the same characteristics and weights as indicated in the previous section. Students who want to preserve the grade obtained in the first tasks of the continuous assesment (70%) can elect to perform only the multiple-choice test (30%) provided that minimum requirements had been got. To pass the subject at least 50% in the total qualification must be obtained in any of the evaluation systems and calls.
