  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Tutored works Tutored practical project, with the delivery of a final report. The learning aims related to the ability to elaborate projects and application of calculation methods (numerical methods) are assesed. Learning aims related to the identification of problems are also assessed (through the application of numerical calculations). 25 B2

Other comments on the Evaluation






Following the guidelines of the degree, two systems of
evaluation are offered: continuous assessment (recommended) and a final
examination.  Evaluation with only a final examination will be only
allowed in situations in which it is imposible to follow the system
recommended. 

LANGUAGE: Any student can choose which language will use during the assessment process (English, Spanish).

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: 

The
continuous  assessment will be based in the evaluation of practical
task, projects and two tests. Once a student has signed a document of
agreement with the process of continuous assessment, the final degree
will be obtained by the application of the criteria described bellow,
even though a student could miss some of the tasks or tests envolved in
the process.


Once the student has shown good skills in all the assesed learning
aims (at least 4 over 10 points in each learning aim assesed), the
final grade with be obtained from the weighted sum of the grade obtained
in the  following tasks with the weights given.

  1. Reports/memories of practical exersices involving  calculations with finite
    elements (FEM), that should be delivered around the week 11 (25% of the final grade).
  2. Tutord works
    focused on the application of numerical methods to basic problems in acoustics. (50% of the final grade)
  3. Short answer tests.  9 (10 % of the final grade)
  4. Individual test containing  problems and practical exercises (15 % of the final note) 

The studenst have to show good skills in all the learning outcomes, therefore, four points over a ten points scale must be obtained in all the learning outcomes evaluated during the continuous evaluation process. The final grade will be obtaining through the addition of the grades obtained during the process with the weights given before. At least five over ten points should be obtained to pass the subject.The second test, will be performed before the final examination.

FINAL EXAMINATION (Continous Assesment)
The final examination consists in two tests (tasks 3 and 4 described before). Those students having less than four points in some of the practical tasks (1 and 2) should deliver those aditional jobs required by the teachers of the subjetc on the date of the final examination.

NON CONTINUOUS ASSESMENT:

A
final examination is  available  for those students that for some
reason could not follow the continuous evaluation assessment process. In
this case there is date scheduled and officially published for final
examination.  The final examination will consist in two short answer
tests, and some additional questions related with the practical tasks
and projects. 

The subject is assessed in a 0 to 10 points scale
and it is considered "passed" if the final  grade obtained if equal or
greater than 5. 

RETAKE:

There is scheduled date at the end
of the semester for a final examination retake, for those students that
either dropped out during the semester or failed. Prior the examination,
a student can choose to follow the continuous assessment or the final
examination. In the former selection, the grades obtained in the
projects and practical tasks will be taken into account and the student
will only answer to the short answer tests. If the later, (final
examination), the student will have also to answer a full examination as
described before.
