Other comments on the Evaluation

1. Ordinary exam

1.1. Continuous assessment

The
continuous assessment consists of the following four parts (with their
respective grading policy):

Part 1.- The
laboratory work (35%) will be evaluated based on the quality of experimental
techniques and results analysis (10%), the writing of laboratory reports (15%) and
the Laboratory exam (10%).

Part 2.-
The exams will cover material from lectures and additional resources provided (45%).
The format of the exams may include essay questions (20%) and problem solving
questions (25%).

Part 3.-
Supervised work (10%), in which the results will be presented in a group C work
report.

Part 4.-Systematic
observation (10%). In addition to the aspects mentioned in the methodologies/tests
description, active participation in the activities proposed for their
autonomous work as well as in office hours will be taken into account.

The final
grade, which ranges from 0 to 10 points, will be the sum of those from
all parts, if the following requirements are met:

Requirement
1.- Attend and participate actively in a minimum of 80% of the laboratory
sessions.

Requirement
2.- Obtain a minimum of 40% of the grade in the laboratory work (part 1), in
the exams (part 2) and in the supervised work (part 3).

If any of
the previous requirements are not met, the final grade will be the sum of all
grades or 4,9 points, if that sum is equal to or greater than 5 points.

Students
who opt for continuous assessment and who have not reached the minimum mark in
any part can recover it in the final exam of the ordinary or extraordinary calls.
In the case of the ordinary call, the weight of the parts to be recovered must
not exceed 40% of the total grade. In the case of supervised work, if the
minimum grade was not reached, the deadline to present the improvements
proposed by the teaching team is the date of the final exam of the ordinary or
extraordinary calls.

To pass, students have to obtain a mark equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum grade
(5 points).

The
laboratory exam will be held during one of the final sessions. The part with essay and
problem solving questions will be divided in two exams throughout the semester.

If after
the first month of academic activity and after taking the first partial exam
the students do not expressly waive continuous assessment, it will be
considered to be the assessment method they have chosen.

1.2. Global assessment

Students
who do not opt for continuous assessment or who do not carry out at least 80%
of the laboratory work can take a comprehensive final exam.

The
format
of the final exam will consist of a laboratory part with practical tasks
and a
writing part that may include essay and problem solving questions. Each
part accounts for 50% of the final grade. To pass, students have to
obtain at least the 40% in each
part and get a sum of both parts equal or greater than 5 points. If the
minimum
grade of any part is not achieved, the final grade will be the sum of
both
grades or 4.9 points, if that sum is equal to or greater than 5 points.

Students
who do not opt for continuous assessment and do not attend the final exam will
recieve a grade of “No show”.

2. Extraordinary exam

In the extraordinary
exam the assessment will be like the final exam of the global assessment.

3.- Academic Integrity

Plagiarism is regarded as seriously dishonest
behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected on 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.
