According to the guidelines for the degree programme, two
evaluation systems will be offered to students: continuous assessment and eventual
assessment.

1.- Continuous assessment

The
continuous assessment consists of one theoretical test, a set of laboratory
practices and one theoretical-practical work (project).

1.1 Theoretical examination (NExam):

The theoretical examination will include all the theoretical
contents of the course and will take place at the end of the term. The weight
of this examination will be 2 points out of 10.

1.2 Laboratory practices (NPra):

The laboratory practices will be performed in groups of two or
more students. The evaluation of the labs will take in to account both, the work
in the laboratory as well as a final report. The weight of this assessment is
3,5 point out of 10.

The work in the laboratory will be individually evaluated and
represent the 60% of the score. The remaining 40% correspond to the final
report and will be the same for all the members of a working group.

1.3 Theoretical-practical work (NPro):

The theoretical-practical work will be conducted in type B and C hours,
in groups of two or more students. As a result of the work a writing report and
the implemented system must be delivered and the results will be oral discussed.
The weight of this assessment is 4,5 points out of 10 (4 points correspond to
the design and documentation tasks and 0,5 points to the discussion one).

To
carry out the theoretical-practical work individual and cooperative tasks will
be assigned to the students. The weight of the individual work will be the 60%
of the maximum score of the project and the weight of the cooperative work will
be the 40%. The 40% of the score corresponding the cooperative work will be the
same for all the members of a working group.

1.4 Final grade (Final_grade):

The final grade for the continuous assessment correspond to:

Final_grade
= (0,2*NExam + 0,35*NPrac + 0,45*NPro) if Nexam, NPrac and NPro are greater or
equal to 4 and Final_grade is greater or equal to 5;

Final_grade
= min[(0,2*NExam + 0,35*NPrac + 0,45*NPro), 4] in any other case. 

The students who fail any of the partial assessments will have the
possibility to repeat it/them in the second call. In this case the students
would be evaluated only of the part they have not pass (theoretical exam, laboratory
practices and/or project). The grade obtained in this evaluation will replace
the previous one.

It
is understood that the student chooses continuous assessment if he/she conducts
the two first laboratory practices. In no case the final grade of a student who
opts for continuous assessment may be "Not Submitted".

2.- Eventual assessment and extraordinary call

Students who opt for the eventual assessment or for the
extraordinary call must pass two exams, a theoretical one covering all the
contents of the subject and a practical exam.

2.1 Theoretical examination (NExam_U):

The theoretical examination would include short answer questions,
problems, and/or system design exercises.

 2.2 Practical examination (NPra_U):

The practical examination will consist in the final test of a
previously designed and simulated system. One week before the date established
for the exam the student must submit a writing report of the designed system as
well as the simulation results.  During the practical exam the student
will validate the system designed in the hardware.

Both
the theoretical and the practical exam will weigh 50% of the final grade.

2.3 Final grade (Final_grade_U):

The
final grade of the eventual assessment and the extraordinary call will
correspond to:

Final_grade_U
= (0,5*NExam_U + 0,5*NPrac_U) if Nexam_U and NPrac_U are greater or equal to 4 and
Final_grade_U is greater or equal to 5;

Final_grade_U
= min[(0,5*NExam_U + 0,5*NPrac_U), 4] in any other case. 

As in the case of continuous assessment, the students
who opt for the eventual assessment will have two opportunities, first
call and second call. Those students do not pass the course in the first call
will be only evaluated of the part they have not passed (theory and/or
practice) in the second call.

3.- Other comments

• The students can use the Spanish, English or Galician to answer the exam and
  for the reports, works or presentations.
• The grades obtained from the continuous assessment, the eventual
  assessment or the extraordinary call are only valid for the current academic
  year.
• The use of books, notes or electronic devices such as phones or computers is not
  permitted in any classroom test or exam. Mobile phones must be turned off and
  be out of reach of the student.
• In case of plagiarism is detected in any of the reports/tasks/exams done/taken,
  the final score for the subject will be fail (0) and the teachers will inform
  the School authorities so that they take the actions that they consider
  appropriate.
• In case of plagiarism or abandonment of a member of a work group is detected,
  his/her score will be fail (0) and will not compute for the score of the rest
  of the group.
