Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Practice in computer rooms	The work of the student in these practice classes will be evaluated: 1. In continuous evaluation: by answering -in writting form- short questions and performing simple designs during some/one of the practices. 2. In evaluation performed only in a final examination: by means of short questions and circuit designs related with the work performed during the practice in computer rooms. In these practices are evaluated competencies: A20, A21, A30, A31	10		C2 C3 C12 C13
Short answer tests	There will be 2 short examinations, one of them in the same date as the final examination of the students that do not follow continuous evaluation. The two short examinations and the final examination will include both short answer tests and exercises. In these short examintaions it will be evaluated competencies : A20, A21, A30, A31	30		C2 C3 C12 C13
Troubleshooting and / or exercises	The 2 short examinations, mentioned above, and the Final Exam will include exercises resolution. Competencies under evaluation: A20, A21, A30, A31	40		C2 C3 C12 C13
Practical tests, real task execution and / or simulated.	For students following continous evalutation, it will be mandatory to perform a circuit desing using the circuit simulator, work proposed by the lecturer. This work will be evaluated by a written report and answers to short questions addressed by the lecturer. Competencies under evaluation :A20, A21, A30, A31	20		C2 C3 C12 C13

Other comments on the Evaluation
A) If the student chooses continuous evaluation: 1. It will be compulsory the assistance to the practises in the computer room, as well as the realisation of a design of a microwave circuit by means of the circuit simulator. This design will be proposed by the lecturer and it will be an autonomous work of the student. The evaluation of the practises will be a 10% of the total subject qualification, and the evaluation of the circuit design will be a 20%. That is to say, the sum of the evaluation of the practical classes and the design will add up to a 30% of the subject qualification. 2. The rest of the subject assessment (up to a 70% of the subject qualification) will be performed by two short exams that will contain exercises resolution, and/or short answers tests. The first short exam will assess up to a 30%, and the second up to a 40%, of the subject qualification. Before performing the second short exam, the student must inform the lecturers about his choice of the method of evaluation. B) If the student chooses a final exam: It will only be considered the score he/she obtained in the final examination: in the exercises resolution (in the extensive version) and in the short question test related to: the theoretical part, and the practices in the computer room. Second Assessment (July): In July the students who did not pass the subject in May, will be assessed by an similar exam as that described in previous B option. In particular, the students that in May chose continuous evaluation and declare the want to keep the scores obtained in the practises and in the design (that will add up to a 30% of the subject qualification), will perform a reduced version of the final examination described in the previous paragraph (and will add up to a 70% of the subject qualification). In case of plagiarism detection in any of the student works, the grade obtained by the student in this course will be a failing grade ( 0 ) and the course lecturer/s will communicate this issue to the school Board of Directors so they may take those measures deemed appropriate.
