Other comments on the Evaluation

1. CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (EC)

Continuous assessment (denoted EC) comprises the mark ECA on the topics covered in the lectures, with a weight of 80% in the final mark, and the mark ECL on the laboratory topics, with a weight of 20% in the final mark: EC = ECA (80%) + ECL (20%).

In the ordinary exam, the mark ECA will be evaluated by means of tests to be taken during the course, with a weight of 40% in the final mark (mark ECC1), and a final test, with a weight of 40% in the final mark (mark ECF1). The mark scheme for the extraordinary exam will be the same as for the ordinary one so that it will comprise two tests, ECC2 and ECF2, equivalent in content and evaluation methodology (objective questions, essay questions and problem solving) to ECC1 and ECF1, respectively.

The mark ECL will be evaluated by means of practices reports, with a weight of 10% in the final mark (mark ECLI), and tests, with a weight of 10% in the final mark (mark ECLE). It is mandatory the attendance to all lab sessions to obtain the mark ECL, otherwise, the mark ECL will be 0.0.

Final mark EC for the continuous assessment modality: 

- Ordinary exam: EC = ECC1 (40%) + ECF1 (40%) + ECLI (10%) + ECLE (10%).

- Extraordinary exam: EC = ECC2 (40%) + ECF2 (40%) + ECLI (10%) + ECLE (10%).

In the extraordinary exam, a student who has previously obtained marks ECC1 or EFC1 (or both) can choose between: a) answering the exam(s) corresponding to mark ECC2 and/or mark EFC2, in such a way that the new mark ECC2 replaces ECC1 and/or the new mark ECF2 replaces ECF1, and b) maintaining mark ECC1 and/or mark ECF1 instead of taking the exam(s) corresponding to mark ECC2 and/or mark ECF2, respectively.

2. GLOBAL ASSESSMENT (EG)

Those students who have been granted the waiver of the continuous assessment have the possibility of taking a written global test to obtain a mark EG with a weight of 100% of the final mark. This test will include the following parts: a test on topics covered in the lectures, with a weight of 80% in the final mark (mark denoted EGA1 in the ordinary exam and EGA2 in the extraordinary exam), and a test on laboratory topics, with a weight of 20% in the final mark (mark denoted EGL1 in the ordinary exam and EGL2 in the extraordinary exam).

Final mark EG for the global assessment modality: 

- Ordinary exam: EG = EGA1 (80%) + EGL1 (20%).

- Extraordinary exam: EG = EGA2 (80%) + EGL2 (20%).

In the extraordinary exam, a student who has previously obtained marks EGA1 or EGL1 (or both) can choose between: a) answering the exam(s) corresponding to mark EGA2 and/or mark EGL2, in such a way that the new mark EGA2 replaces EGA1 and/or the new mark EGL2 replaces EGL1, and b) maintaining mark EGA1 and/or mark EGL1 instead of taking the exam(s) corresponding to mark EGA2 and/or mark EGL2, respectively.

3. END-OF-PROGRAM EXAM (FC)

The end-of-program exam follows the same scheme as the global assessment EG.

Final mark FC for the end-of-program exam: 

FC = FCA (80%) + FCL (20%).

4. GENERAL RULES

To pass the course, a student must obtain a final mark equal to or higher than 5 (out of 10).

Within the specifications detailed in the preceding sections, the tests and exams may consist of different variants within the same classroom or laboratory group.

Ethical commitment: Every student is expected to behave in an appropriate ethical manner. Should unethical conduct be detected (copying, plagiarism, utilisation of unauthorised 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 edition of the academic record for the subject will be "suspenso" (0.0).

Students should not have access to or use any electronic device during the tests and exams, unless specifically authorised. The mere fact of taking an unauthorised electronic device into the examination room will result in the student failing the subject and the final mark in the corresponding edition of the academic record for the subject will be "suspenso" (0.0).
