Short answer tests As part of the continuous evaluation, it will take place in mid-course an individual written test of 30 minutes, in one of the lecture sessions. This test will involve 10% of the final grade. This test is the last chance for students to decide whether or not they opt for continuous evaluation. All students completing the test implicitly choose to follow continuous evaluation. The remaining students have to explicitly declare their choice. The lack of declaration from a student means he/she will not follow continuous evaluation.
Another written test of 60 minutes will be held in the date of the final exam. This test will have two parts and it is compulsory in whole for students not in continuous evaluation. Students in continuous evaluation can also voluntarily complete the first part since the contents correspond to the first written test. In that case, the score they will receive in this part of the course evaluation will be the one achieved in this second test. The second part of the test is mandatory for all students. Each of the parts will involve 10 % of the final qualification.
To pass the course, students must achieve in each part a mark of 4 or higher in a 0-10 scale (or in the intermediate test, where appropriate).
Competences CE10 and CB4 will be assessed in these tests.

Practical tests, real task execution and / or simulated. The evaluation of the practical tests will be performed from memory supporting and public presentation of results. Each group of students you must submit a report of the work has been carried out, indicating expresses the contribution of each to the whole, as well as methodology followed for the distribution and coordination of tasks. The evaluation of the work will be based on the following aspects:
- Analysis of alternatives
- Correct implementation and design verification
- Design compaction
- Use of appropriate strategies to minimize the effects of imperfections in the manufacturing process and to ensure good matching of the electrical characteristics between components or devices that like this require it by functional reasons.
- Information for integrated circuit manufacturing.
- Formal aspects: clarity and order, including figures and appropriate and outstanding data, as well as explanations in a concrete and comprehensive way.
Each student will have an individual public exposure of the project has personally performed (including tasks planning and coordination if applicable). The presentations of the students from each group will be out in the same session, 1 hour. Each student will have 5 minutes for their presentation. At the end of the presentation, students must answer questions from teachers and other students present. The evaluation will be based on both the content and formal aspects of the presentation and the answers to questions. It may also assess positively to students who perform relevant questions. The explanatory report should be submitted at least two days before public presentation of work.
To pass the course, the student will need obtain at least a score of 5 over 10 in memory, get to least a score of 5 out of 10 in public presentation. In the evaluation of the practical tests, the memory note will weigh 70% and the presentation 30%.
In this test the CE10, CB4, CB5 and CG8 skills are evaluated.

Other comments on the Evaluation
- Final test will be 50% of the overall grade of the course. It will consist of two parts: short answer questions and resolution of problems. The part of the questions will represent 40 % of the test qualification and the part of resolution of problems the other 60%. In order to calculate the grade it is necessary to obtain at least 50 % of the maximum score for each part.
- They must develop a project, and deliver the corresponding report and public presentation (in the same sessions and with the same criteria as students in continuous evaluation). Reports are due two days before the public presentation. The project qualification will involve 50% of the overall grade of the course. In the final qualification of the project, the memory report has a corresponding percentage of 70% and the other 30% is obtained from the qualification of the presentation. In order to calculate the grade it is necessary to obtain at least 50 % of the maximum score for each part.



Students not passing the course in the first call will have the opportunity to attend a second call. To pass the course, students must achieve in each part at least 50 % of the maximum score.
