Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Seminars	Short answer tests: In the seminars we will value the participation in the debates (with the speakers of the seminar Engineering in the Society). It will be able to support the evaluation in proofs of short answer. With these short answer tests and the observations we will evaluate the competencies CB3, CG7, CG9, CG13 and CT4	20	A3	B7 B9 B13		D4
Projects	Practical proofs: The realisation of the works in groups will be evaluated in two parts: the own dynamics of the works and the presentations. The student will receive 25% of the note by the own work; evaluated to 50% by the lecturer that directs the work and by the group of professors of the matter. Related to the presentation, the student will receive another 25%, evaluated by his/her mates (evaluation by pairs) according to a rubric that will be approved before the beginning of the works. With these works we will evaluate the competencies CB3, CE15/GT1, CG9 and CT4	50	A3	B9	C15	D4
Master Session	Long answer tests: there will be 2 proofs, of 30 minutes length, that will liberate contents of the previous subjects. In these long proofs we will evaluate the competencies CG7, CG9 and CT3	30		B7 B9		D3
Long answer tests and development	The final examination, in case it would be needed, will consist of questions of development, in which the student will have to show the purchased knowledge, initiative to propose solutions to problems no necessarily of telecommunication, and he/she will also have to expose his opinion on conflicts of professional ethics, showing his capacity to provide opinions on situations that involve to the society.	0	A3	B7 B9 B13	C15	D3 D4

Other comments on the Evaluation
Thestudents can chose any of the following assessment systems: 1.- The continuous assessment tests allow students to obtain a final grade based solely on their path along the course, and consist of: 1.1. Two long-answer tests, with 15% of the total grade each, totaling 30%. 1.2. Short-answer tests in the seminars, which account for 20%. 1.3. Practical proofs for the evaluation of supervised work (25%) and the presentation of them (25%). Continuous assessment tasks are not recoverable, and they are only valid for the current year. A student is assumed to have opted for continuous assessment when he/she has been made one of the long-answer tests and has participated in two debate activities. A student who chooses to continuous assessment is deemed to have been presented to the subject, whether they are present or not to the final exam. If a student, having submitted to continuous assessment, chooses the final exam, the final grade for the course will be the average of the two. 2.- FInal exam. Under the regulations of the University of Vigo, the student who wishes may choose 100% of the final grade by a single final exam. The final exam is one that is done in the official dates marked on School Board in the months of December or January (or July in the case of special consideration), and who are obliged to attend those students who have not opted for continuous assessment and want to pass the subject. The final exam will consist of a development test, as described in the evaluation section. All material given in the lectures, lab classes and project presentations is subject to questioning. The resit exam will have a similar structure to the final exam. Ethical code Final exams and quizzes must be worked out on everyone’s own. Any infraction will beconsidered a serious breach of ethics and reported to the academic authorities. Lecturers may decide to fail a student if he has committed a serious ethical breach.
