Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practical	As part of the continuous assesment of the subject, each student will be evaluated in each of the practicals. The evaluation will take into account the preparation work prior to carrying out the practical, attendance, punctuality and use. The previous work will have a maximum weight of 30% of the practice grade. The total qualification of the practicals will be obtained as an arithmetic mean of the qualification of each one of them. In order to make the average, it is necessary to obtain in each practical a grade equal to or greater than 30% of the maximum grade of the practical. For justified reasons you can miss doing one of the practicals. The grade corresponding to said practice will be zero (0.0). If the mean criterion cannot be applied, the grade for this part will be calculated by multiplying by 0.42 the grade obtained with the weighted average and it will not be compensable with the theory grade. The grade of individual practicals is not kept for successive academic years.	40		B4	C21 C24	D2 D9 D17
Essay questions exam	As part of the continuous assesment of the subject, each student will take two face-to-face written tests of two hours each weighting a 30% each one. The first, at the end of the contents related to Digital Electronics, in a master session programmed in the time planning of the subject. The second, of the contents related to Microcontrollers, coinciding with the date set for the final exam. If any of the tests is divided into several parts, to calculate the total mark as a weighted average of the parts, it is necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 30% of the total mark in each part. The final grade will be obtained as the arithmetic mean of the grade of the two tests. In order to make the average, it is necessary to obtain in each test a grade equal to or greater than 40% of the maximum grade of the test. In the case of not being able to apply the criterion of the average, the grade for this part will be calculated by multiplying by 0.56 the grade obtained with the weighted average and it will not be compensable with the practice grade.	60		B3 B4	C21 C24	D2 D9

Other comments on the Evaluation
In order to pass (theoretical contents of digital electronics, theoretical contents of microcontrollers or laboratory practices) between the first and the second call of the academic year, it is necessary to obtain a grade equal to or greater than 50% of the grade corresponding to the evaluation of said subject. Continuous assessment students who have to take the second call of the academic year must complete: A final exam whose grade will be 60% of the grade for the subject. It will consist of two parts: Digital Electronics short-answer questions and troubleshooting and Microcontrollers short-answer questions and troubleshooting. To pass the exam, you must achieve at least 40% of the grade for each of the parts. The final grade will be the arithmetic mean of the two grades. In order to compensate the grades of the different parts, at least 40% of the maximum grade must be reached. If the minimum threshold is not reached somewhere, the final grade for the course will be failed and the numerical value will be calculated by multiplying by 0.62, the grade obtained with the weighted average (clarification on the coefficient: This coefficient is obtained by dividing 4.9 (maximum grade of failure) divided by 7.9 (maximum grade of the weighted average that can be obtained by failing the subject – 6 in lecture sessions, 1.9 in practices [does not exceed the minimum threshold of 50%]). The student that renounces the continuous evaluation will be qualified by means of a final exam of theoretical knowledge and problem solving and a Practice exam. The weight and evaluation criteria are the same as in continuous evaluation. Those students who cannot attend two or more practices for the justified reasons set forth in the Student Statute, will have the right to a single laboratory test to be held in the exam period of the corresponding call established by the school. Ethical Commitment: The student is expected to exhibit appropriate ethical behavior. In case of detecting unethical behavior (copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices, and others), it will be considered that the student does not meet the necessary requirements to pass the subject. In this case, the overall grade for this academic year will be fail (0.0).
