Other comments on the Evaluation
Continuous evaluation - First assessment: During the first period there will be a first partial written test (P1) with contents of the lectures and problem solving sessions, which will represent 30% of the grades. The contents evaluated in the P1 will not be evaluated in the second partial exam (P2). The P2 will take place on the official date of the exam and will represent 35% of the grades. To pass the subject, students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 3 points out of 10 in each of the partial tests (P1 and P2) and an overall grade equal to or higher than 5 points out of 10. If the minimum grade is not reached in each partial test, the subject will be considered as failed and the final grade will appear as 4.5. In order to facilitate the continuous evaluation and the follow-up of the contents seen in the lecture sessions, self-evaluation tests (PAV) will be carried out throughout the term through the teledocency platform (20% of the grades). Laboratory practices (PL) will represent 10% of the grade of the subject. The evaluation of the reports of results obtained in each practice will be subject to the attendance of these sessions. Continuous evaluation - Second assessment: The exam of the second opportunity will consist of a written test (65%), whose content will be determined by the agenda of the lectures and problem-solving sessions. The grade corresponding to the self-evaluation tests (PAV-20%), laboratory practices (PL-10%) and ICT (PTIC-5%) will be kept. Those students who request it, will be re-evaluated of the contents corresponding to PL and/or PTIC by means of a written test, which will take place on the official date of the exam of the second opportunity. To pass the subject, students must obtain a qualification equal to or higher than 5 points out of 10. Global evaluation: Those students who waive the continuous evaluation will be entitled to a global test, written, with a score of 100%. To pass the subject, the student must obtain a qualification equal or superior to 5 points out of 10.
