The assessment of the subject will include the lecturer's assessment of the student's work, both individual and group, whether face-to-face or remote, weighted as indicated in the Assessment section.

To determine the grade for all the assessment tests, a numerical grading system will be used, with values ranging from 0.0 to 10.0 points, in accordance with current legislation (R.D. 1125/2003, of 5 September, BOE. No. 224, of 18 September). In any case, the subject is considered passed if the grade obtained is at least 5.0 out of 10.

The subject offers two different evaluation modalities in its first evaluation period: continuous evaluation and non-continuous or global evaluation. In the second period, the evaluation is carried out exclusively by means of the corresponding global examination.

Comments for the First Assessment Period / Ordinary Exam Period

The student may follow the above modalities:

- Continuous evaluation modality

In this modality, the student will pass the subject if he/she obtains a minimum of five points (5.0) out of 10 without having to take the corresponding ordinary period examination. Each assessment test is worth 10 points. It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5.0 points out of 10 in each of the assessment tests and in each part or subpart of those tests in order to pass the subject. Students who do not pass the continuous assessment, i.e. who do not pass each and every one of the assessment tests set, will be required to take the corresponding additional tests and, if applicable, to take the second period examination. This is subject to the considerations and clarifications deemed appropriate by the teacher.

- Non-continuous or global evaluation modality

At the beginning of the course, enrolled students have a deadline set by the School of Industrial Engineering to explicitly opt out of continuous evaluation. In this case, the enrolled student must inform the professor as soon as this has been requested and confirmed. 

A student who opts out of continuous evaluation in order to pass the subject must take a single final examination on the date set by the School for the first assessment period, covering all the theoretical and practical content of the subject, including short answer questions, long answer questions, problem solving and the development of practical scenarios. Additionally, it will be necessary to design and justify the functioning of an intelligent system implemented in a product or service within biomedical engineering. In order to pass the subject, students must achieve an overall mark of at least 5.0 out of 10 in each of these tests.

Comments for the Second Assessment Period / Extraordinary Exam Period

Students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary period by any of the above modalities will have a second opportunity to pass the subject by taking the second period examination on the date set by the School of Industrial Engineering.

The second period examination will cover all the theoretical and practical content of the subject, including short answer questions, long answer questions, problem solving and the development of practical cases. Additionally, it will be necessary to design and justify the functioning of an intelligent system implemented in a product or service within biomedical engineering. In order to pass the subject, students must achieve an overall mark of at least 5.0 out of 10 in each of these tests.

Ethical Behavior

Students are expected to demonstrate appropriate ethical behaviour. In the event of unethical behaviour (cheating, plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices, etc...) it will be assumed that the student does not meet the necessary requirements to pass the subject. In this case, the overall grade for the current academic year will be a fail (0.0). The use of teaching aids or electronic devices during examinations is not permitted unless specifically authorized. Bringing unauthorized materials or electronic devices into the examination room will be considered grounds for failing the subject for the current academic year and the overall grade will be a fail (0.0).
