The students will make some laboratory experiments focused on the transformation of raw materials into added value products. A report with the main experimental results and their discussion will be produced.

Other comments on the Evaluation
Details about evaluation and qualifications
1. Considerations on continuous evaluation.
The
participation of the student in any of the acts of evaluation of the course
will imply the condition of presented and, therefore, the assignment of a
qualification.
Attendance
at a minimum of 80% of laboratory practices is mandatory, which cannot be
recovered.
To
pass the course, students must obtain at least a score of 5 points out of 10 in
the partial exam and in the final exam, and a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in
each of the other evaluation sections (laboratory practices, memory and
presentation of mentored work, objective questions exams). In any case, the
overall qualification required to pass the course, resulting from the weighted
sum of all the evaluation sections, will be 5 points out of 10.
Students
may waive the continuous assessment system through the procedure and within the
period established by the School. If such resignation is requested and
authorized, 100% of the grade will be assigned by taking a final exam, in which
questions can be asked about all the topics taught in the course, including
those corresponding to practical classes.
2. Considerations about the exams
(partial and final).
Partial exam. During
the course there will be a partial and eliminatory test, which will include
problems and/or exercises, as well as essay questions, and which will have a
weight in the overall grade of 35 %. To pass this test, a score of at least 5
points out of 10 must be obtained.
Final exam 1st opportunity. It will include the contents not evaluated in
the partial test, and will have a relative weight of 35 % in the overall grade
of the course. In
case of not having passed the partial test, the students will be given the
opportunity to repeat the evaluation of the corresponding contents, on the same
date assigned for the final exam.
Final exam 2nd opportunity. The exam may put forward questions about all
the subjects taught in the course, including those corresponding to practical
classes. Students
who have obtained the minimum qualification established in this guide for the
various evaluation sections (laboratory practices, memory and presentation of mentored
work, objective question exams, partial exam), may only be assessed for the
rest of the content.
3. Considerations on the qualification
records
1st opportunity qualification record. The global mark will be the weighted sum of
those obtained in all the assessments carried out (laboratory practices, memory
and presentation of work, objective questions exams, partial exam and final
exam), provided that the minimum required grades have been passed (4 points out
of 10 in laboratory practices, memory and presentation of mentored work and
objective questions exams, 5 points out of 10 in partial and final exams).
In
case of failing or not showing up for the partial and/or final exam, the record
will reflect the Fail rating, with a numerical value resulting from the weighted
sum of the lab, work, and objective question exam grades, applying the global
grade contribution percentages specified in this guide; the contents approved
in these three sections will be considered as passed with a view to the 2nd opportunity qualification record.
2nd opportunity qualification record. The global mark will be the weighted sum of
those obtained in all the assessments carried out, provided that the minimum
required marks have been passed.
In case of
failing or not taking the final exam, the record will reflect the Fail grade,
with a numerical value resulting from the weighted sum of the lab, work, and
objective question exam grades, applying the contribution percentages. to the
global note specified in this guide.
Ethical
considerations
The student is expected to exhibit an adequate
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 in the current academic year will be Fail (0.0).
The use of any electronic device during the
evaluation tests will not be allowed unless expressly authorized. The
introduction of a non-authorized electronic device in the exam room will be
considered a reason for not passing the subject in this academic year and the
overall rating will be Fail (0.0)
