Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Problem solving	Short exercises (partial tests) related to the contents explained during the masterclasses and in the laboratory. 3 exercises (midterm exams) will be proposed for assessment; some of them will be completed in A hours, while the remaining one(s) will be completed at home. All these 3 exercises will be completed individually. The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the Comisión Académica de Grado (CAG) and will be available at the beginning of each academic semester. Each exercise will have a weight of 10% in the final mark for the students assessed by continuous assessment.	30		B3 B4 B11	C26
Project based learning	Realisation of a practical project in groups, that will be assessed individually. The deadline for delivering this project will be the same for both students following continuous and global assessment, and it will be included at the midterm exam schedule approved at the CAG. The assessment of this project includes an interview; for continuous assessment students this interview will be performed in the last session of group C, whereas for global assessment students it will be perform in the date of the final exam. This is a mandatory activity for both those students who follow continuous assessment, and those who follow exam-only assessment, yielding in both cases the 40% of the final mark.	40		B3 B4 B11	C26	D2 D3

The weight will be 60% for those students that do not follow continuous assessment, and 30% for those who do.	30		B3 B4 B11	C26

Other comments on the Evaluation
For those students that choose continuous assessment the final note will be obtained as: If final exam mark (out of 10) < 3.5, min(4, Nmidterms + Nproject + Nexam) (1.a) If final exam mark (out of 10) >= 3.5, Nmidterms + Nproject + Nexam (1.b) where Nmidterms denotes the mark accumulated in the midterms exams, up to 3 points; Nproject denotes the mark obtained in the practical project, up to 4 points; and Nexam denotes the mark of the final exam up to 3 points. The midterms exams will not be repeated. For those students who choose global assessment, the final mark will be obtained as: If final exam mark (out of 10) < 3.5, min(4, Nproject + Nexam) (2.a) If final exam mark (out of 10) >= 3.5, Nproject + Nexam (2.b) where Nproject denotes the mark obtained in a practical project specifically designed for exam-only assessment students, up to 4 points; and Nexam denotes the mark of the final exam up to 6 points. The final exam for those students who chose global assessment might have more exercises than the exam of those students who chose continuous assessment. The student has to inform if s/he choose to follow continuous or global assessment in a time interval defined by the teachers; this time interval will last at least for one month and will be within the period between the publication of the marks of the first midterm exam and the date of the third midterm exam. In case s/he does not inform about it and s/he does not make the third midterm exam, it will be considered that s/he chooses global assessment. The mark in the midterm exams will be considered for the second call, but not for subsequent years. In the second call those students who chose to follow continuous assesment in the first call can choose to keep their midterm exams' mark and be qualified according to (1.a) and (1.b), or be qualified according to (2.a) and (2.b). Those students who in the first call chose to follow global assessment, will be qualified according to (2.a) and (2.b). In the end-of-program call, the assessment will be only based on an exam. A mark in a given call will be given (i.e., the student will be considered as "presentado") to those students who follow continuous assesment, and also to those who follow global assessmet and do the final exam of that call. Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.
