Following the guidelines of the degree, each student will have two assessment opportunities (ordinary and extraordinary) to pass the subject. In turn, in the ordinary opportunity, they will have two evaluation procedures (continuous and global).

Ordinary exam

Continuos assessment

In order to pass the course, FG must be greater than or equal to 5. In addition, as a result of the application of the weighted geometric mean, it is not possible to have a zero in any of the parts in order to pass the course.

Global evaluation

Students that opt by the global assessment procedure, must submit an additional dossier with detailed information about the events and issues that arose during the execution of the different tasks, and especially the mentored work, since it will not be possible to assess systematic observation. In addition, during the first month of the course, professors will notify students if they have to do the mentored work individually or in group.

The final grade (FG) of the course will be calculated as the weighted geometric mean of the grades obtained in the problem-solving tests (PT), in the practical reports (PR), in the dossier of task performance (DT) and for the completion of the project (P), according to the following formula:

FG = PR^0.3*PR^0.2*DT^0.1*P^0.4.

In order to pass the course, FG must be greater than or equal to 5. In addition, as a result of the application of the weighted geometric mean, it is not possible to have a zero in any of the parts in order to pass the course.

Extraordinary exam

The assessment system will be the same as the global assessment of the ordinary exam. 

Students that have opted by the continuous assessment procedure, can decide to maintain the grades of the parts they have already passed in the first call or discard them.

End-of-program exam

Other comments

The grades obtained are only valid for the current academic year.

Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be monitored continuously. In the case in which the performance of a member of the group wouldn't be adequate compared with the performance of his or her team mates, he or she could be excluded from the group and/or qualified individually.

The use of any material during the tests will have to be explicitly authorized.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in 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.
