  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practical In lab sessions, a follow-up experimental work carried out by the student will be monitored (attitude and practical skills acquired) will be performed. Attendance at all laboratory sessions is compulsory (it is not possible to overcome the course without doing the practical sessions). 10 A3

Essay questions exam 1st Examination: exam (subjects 1,2,3) of 2 hours of duration carried out approximately in the middle of the term and included in the course schedule. The test will have two parts, one of numerical problems/exercises and the other of multiple-choice questions. 30 A1

Report of practices, practicum and external practices Students will elaborate a lab report in which the experimental work will be reflected (preparation of standards, calibration of instruments, operation procedures, observations, results, etc.). The assessment will consider both formal issues and quality of the results. 10 A3

Objective questions exam At the end of the subjects corresponding to the theoretical program, students will perform a self-evaluation test (multiple choice questions) so as to strengthen the understanding of the contents. 10 C6
Problem and/or exercise solving Students will solve similar problems/exercises to those included in the problem/exercise sheets (deliverables). Likewise, deliverables of questionnaires posed in the discussion of different case studies will be requested. It will be necessary to accomplish a minimum number of deliverables established by the teacher so that the mark of this activity can be added to the rest of the assessment items. 10 A1

Other comments on the Evaluation
Continuous assessment mode:
Considerations on the evaluation of the practical subjects:
-Lab practices (hands-on work follow-up): lack of attendance, even if justified, will penalise the mark. A number of absences of more than 25% of the laboratory sessions will mean failing the lab practices. A minimum mark of 4 out of 10 will be required to be added to the rest of the evaluation elements. The completion of the lab practices and the lab report is essential to pass the course both in the continuous assessment mode and in the global assessment mode (non-continuous).
-Lab report: it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 points out of 10 in the Lab Report in order to be added to the rest of the evaluation elements.

Considerations on the evaluation of the tests (intermediate and end of term test):
The part of multiple-choice questions and the part of numerical problems/exercises will have a weight of 50% each in the two tests. In order to be able to average the theory part and the problems/exercises part, a minimum of 3 points out of 10 must be obtained in either part.
-A minimum score of 4 points out of 10 must be achieved in the first examination in order for it to be averaged with the second one. Students who have not achieved a grade of at least 4 points out of 10 in the first examination and those who wish to raise their grade must take a recovery exam of the first part of the course (1 hour time) whose grade will replace the one obtained previously. This recovery test will take place on the date scheduled for the 2nd examination The average of the two exams must be at least 4 points out of 10 in order to be added to the rest of the evaluation elements. If this minimum score is not reached, only the weighted grade of both exams will appear in the student grading reports.

Qualification in the 1st edition of the call (May-June):

-Once the above criteria have been taken into account, passing the course is achieved with an overall mark of 5 points out of 10.The student's participation in any of the assessement items with the
exception of problem solving and/or exercises (deliverables) and
self-assessment tests disqualifies him/her from obtaining the grade of
NOT PRESENTED. The overall qualification in the first edition of the
call will be made up of the marks obtained in the problem solving
classes (deliverables) (1 point), self-assessment tests (1 point),
hands-on work follow-up (1 point), Lab report (1 point), 1st examination
(3 points) and 2nd examination (3 points).

Qualification in the 2nd edition of the call (July):
The qualification in this edition will be made up of two components:
1. Grades obtained by the student during the course:
Only the marks obtained by the student during the course in the lab practices (1 point) and the Lab report (1 point) will be retained.
2. Final exam on the contents of the subject (8 points).
This exam will include numerical problems/exercises and multiple-choice questions. A minimum grade of 4 out of 10 points will be required in this exam in order to be added to the grade obtained in the practicals.

Global assessment mode (not continuous):

-Students who wish to take this option must notify the subject coordinator in writing within one month of the start of the term. It is compulsory to complete the Lab practices/Lab report and a global assessment examination in order to pass the course.
-Lab practices/Lab report (2 points): the same considerations established above for continuous assessment will apply.
-Global assessment examination (8 points): The exam will have two parts, one of numerical problems/exercises and the other of multiple-choice questions and will cover all the topics of the course, with the same considerations as those determined above for continuous assessment. Passing the subject requires an overall mark of 5 points out of 10.
The date of this exam will coincide with the date of the final exam of the four-month period established for continuous assessment.

Evaluation of students in the Integrated Cycle of the Seniors Programme:

-Compulsory attendance to 80% of the theoretical and practical classes and seminars.
-Accomplishement of a theoretical-practical work on a subject of the course.
-Accomplishement of the self-assessment tests programmed through the e-learning platform.
