1. Ordinary call (December-January)

1.1 Continuous assessment

- The final mark G0 results from the classroom mark A0 (80% of the final mark), on topics of Parts I and II, and the lab mark L0 (20% of the final mark), on topics of Part III.

- Mark A0 combines the classroom mark C0 (40% of the final mark), that is obtained from theoretical-practical tests (essay-questions and problem/exercise solving) to be developed during the term, and the classroom mark F0 (40% of the final mark), that is obtained from an end-of-term theoretical-practical test to be held on the same date that the exam of the ordinary call.

- Mark L0 combines the mark L01 (10% of the final mark), that is obtained from theoretical-practical tests to be developed during the term (essay-questions and problem/exercise solving) on topics of Part III.1, and the mark L02 (10% of the final mark) that is obtained from a lab report corresponding to topics of Part III.2. Only students that have regularly attended the lab sessions can obtain a mark L0 different form "0,0".

- The final mark of the continuous assessment in the ordinary call is obtained as

G0 = A0 (80%) + L0(20%) = C0 (40%) + F0 (40%) + L01 (10%) + L02 (10%)

- To pass the course, a student must obtain a final mark G0 equal to or higher than 5.

1.2 Global assessment

- Those students who have been granted the waiver of the continuous assessment in the ordinary call will obtain 100% of their final mark G1 from a exam corresponding to the ordinary call.

- The final mark G1 results from the classroom mark A1 (80% of the final mark), on topics of Parts I and II, and the lab mark L1 (20% of the final mark), on topics of Part III.1.

- Mark A1 combines marks C1 (40%of the final mark) and F1 (40% of the final mark), that are obtained from theoretical-practical tests (essay-questions and problem/exercise solving).

- Mark L1 (20% of the final mark) is obtained from a theoretical-practical test (essay-questions and problem/exercise solving).

- The final mark of the global assessment in the ordinary call is obtained as

G1 = A1 (80%) + L1(20%)= C1 (40%) + F1 (40%) + L1 (20%)

- To pass the course, a student must obtain a final mark G1 equal to or higher than 5.

2. Extraordinary call (June-July)

- All students, whether they have waived continuous assessment or not, will obtain 100% of their final mark G2 from an exam corresponding to the extraordinary call.

- The final mark G2 results from the classroom mark A2 (80% of the final mark), on topics of Parts I and II, and the lab mark L2 (20% of the final mark), on topics of Part III.1.

- Mark A2 combines marks C2 (40% of the final mark) and F2 (40% of the final mark), that are obtained from theoretical-practical tests (essay-questions and problem/exercise solving).

- Mark L2 (20% of the finalmark) is obtained from a theoretical-practical test (essay-questions and problem/exercise solving).

- The final mark of the continuous or global assessment in the extraordinary call is obtained as

G2 = A2 (80%) + L2(20%)= C2 (40%) + F2 (40%) + L2 (20%)

- To pass the course, a student must obtain a final mark G2 equal to or higher than 5.

3. Common features and interconnection among the assessment alternatives

- In the continuous and global assessment modalities for the ordinary and extraordinary calls that have been defined in the previous sections, we can classify marks that are equivalent to each other in three sets with three elements each: classroom marks C0, C1 and C2, classroom marks F0, F1 and F2 and lab marks L0, L1 and L2. If C is the most recent valid mark from C0, C1 and C2, F is the most recent valid mark from F0, F1 and F2 and L is the most recent valid mark from L0, L1 and L2, the final mark G in the ordinary or the extraordinary call, either for continuous or global assessment, is obtained as

G =C(40%) + F (40%) + L(20%)

- To pass the course, a student must obtain a final mark G equal to or higher than 5 in any of the assessment alternatives.

- To obtain the final mark G2 in the extraordinary call the students, whether they have waived continuous assessment or not, can choose between:

a) answering the part of the exam of the extraordinary call corresponding to marks C2, F2, and/or L2, that will be used in the formula of the final mark of the extraordinary call G2.

b) use the most recent valid mark of each type (C0 or C1, F0 or F1 and/or L0 or L1) to be used instead of marks C2, F2 and/or L2, respectively, in the formula of the final mark of the extraordinary call G2, not taking the corresponding part of the exam of this call.

4. End-of-degree call

- The end-of-degree call follows the same assessment scheme as the extraordinary call.

- The end-of-degree assessment is completely independent of the assessments in the ordinary and extraordinary calls (in particular, the features and interconnections described in the previous section do not apply).

5. Supplementary assessment rules

- Students should not have access to or use any electronic device during the tests and exams, unless specifically authorized. The mere act of taking an unauthorized electronic device into the examination room will result in the student failing the subject and the final mark in the corresponding call will be "suspenso (0,0)".

- The tests and exams will be jointly set and assessed by the teaching team of the subject.

- The dates for the exams in each call will be assigned by the board of directors of the School ofIndustrial Engineering (E.E.I.).

6. Ethical commitment

Every student is expected to behave in an appropriate ethical manner. Should unethical conduct be detected (copying, plagiarism, utilization of unauthorized electronic devices, or others), the student will be considered not to have fulfilled the necessary requirements to pass the subject. In this case, the final mark in the corresponding call will be "suspenso (0,0)".
