Problem solving The resolution of one or more exercises by the student and their presentation in the seminar will be rated. Short tests taken in the seminar will be rated as well. In both cases on a voluntary basis. The weight in the global grade lies between 0-10%. 10 A1

Laboratory practical Lab practices are compulsory. They will be rated by the assessment of their development (5%) as well as by that of the corresponding practice reports (15%), one per practice. Those reports have to be elaborated individually, must contain tables, figures and graphics and the calculations needed to obtain the results, as well as an analysis of them. Students must upload them to the Moovi platform before the deadline. 20 A1

Objective questions exam For the written exams the subject is divided into two parts (I and II), which have a relative weight of 50% in the mark.

The written exams consist in the resolution of questions and problems.

First short exam ("Primera prueba corta", Part I).
Voluntary. It will take place by about half of the lecturing period. If its mark is equal or greater than 5 points over 10, part I will be considered as passed by the student.
If it is lower than 5 but equal or greater than 3.75, it may represent 50% of the mark of part I, the other 50% coming from part I of the Final Exam, if that leads to improvement; otherwise the latter prevails.
Its weight on the global mark depends on the results of other items and lies in the range: 0-40%.

Objective questions exam Second short exam (Part II).
Voluntary. It will take place near the end of the lecturing period. Independently of the mark, the students must take part II in the Final Exam (see below). Its mark is only valid for calculating an average for part II with corresponding mark of the Final Exam, not independently of the latter.
It may represent 25% of part II if that leads to an improvement, otherwise the mark obtained for part II in the Final Exam will prevail.
Its weight on the global mark, depending on that other sections is: 0-10%.

Final Exam.
Compulsory. It will take place shortly after the lecturing period (May/June). Those students who have not passed the first short exam (mark>=5) will have to take all the exercises. Those who passed it can still take the exercises of part I to improve the corresponding mark.
Its weight on the global mark depends on that of other sections and lies within 26.5%-80%.

The combined mark of the exams (not including the tests of the first item) has to be of at least 3.75 on the 10-point scale for the subject to be passed.
The lab practices and the final exam are compulsory.

The assessment rules of the second call (late June or early July) to those students who have not passed the subject, are given in the first point of the next section.

Other comments on the Evaluation
  • In the second-opportunity evaluation ("July's exam") the corresponding Final Exam is also compulsory, otherwise the mark will be the same as in the first opportunity. In any case, the mark cannot be lower than that of the first-opportunity evaluation. Lab practices represent 20% of the mark. The marks corresponding to "Problem Solving", second short exam and also that of the first short exam if >= 3.75, will be kept and used to calculate the average by the weights given in the last section, but only if their use gives a higher grade. Otherwise the mark of the Final Exam, including all exercises, will prevail, being 80% of the global grade.
  • The average mark corresponding to the exams, third and fourth items of the last section, has to be >=3.75 on a 10 point scale for the other items to be considered in the global average. Such global average must be >=5 on the 10 point scale for the subject to be passed. Lab Practices and the Final Exam are compulsory.
  • Taking two or more tests or presenting one exercise (Problem Solving), or attending one Lab session or any of the short exams, makes it impossible to get "No Presentado" as a grade.
