Lecturing It will be evaluated with 3 objective response tests or test type having a weight of 10%, the first two, and a weight of 5%, the third.

Through this methodology, all the expected results in the subject are evaluated.

Problem solving It will be evaluated with 3 problem solving tests having a weight of 15%, the first two, and a weight of 20%, the third.

Expected results:

To comprise the basic principles of the laws of the elasticity, elasto-plasticity, water flow in continuous media, consolidation and resistance behavior of soils.

To know how characterise, classify and interpret experimental tests of resistance and consolidation in soils.

To know how to design and calculate retaining walls and foundations.

To integrate the basic principle of rock and soil mechanics: the geotechnical engineer does not select the materials because it works into a natural context, and the influence of the variability of the input parameters is very relevant and has a very significant influence on the final results.

Other comments on the Evaluation

Continuous evaluation first opportunity:

Each one of the partials, will consist of a part of theory and another part of problems, they will be carried out jointly on date. That is, there will be a total of three partials throughout the semester:

- Partial 1 Theory and Problems (25%).

- Partial 2 Theory Problems (25%).

- Partial 3 Theory and Problems (25%).

In this way, each of these partials add up to 25% of the overall mark. A minimum grade of 4 out of 10 will be required in each partial for it to add to the continuous assessment grade.

Partials 1 and 2 will take place during the academic year and part 3 will take place on the date of the official exam calendar.

The completion of the practices will be assessed with the delivery of 2 reports, with a weight each of 10% of the final grade. A minimum score of 4 out of 10 points will be required in each of them.

The assessment of the work carried out in the seminars will be carried out with the assistance to them.

Continuous evaluation second chance:

The exam will have a weight of 75% of the final mark and the marks of the practical reports and the seminar will be kept.

Global evaluation, the exam of this modality will consist of two parts:

- An exam of theoretical concepts and problem solving, with a weight of 75% of the overall grade.

- An exam on the concepts worked on in the practices and in the seminar, with a weight of 25% of the overall grade. In this second part, a minimum score of 3 out of 10 will be required to be scored.

Exam Timetable: Exam dates and rooms must be verified in the official webpage of the school:
