Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Presentations / exhibitions	Once their project is implemented, the students will perform a public presentation of its design, development and results, having to answer successfully to questions.	10		B4 B9	C87
Laboratory practises	The students will fill questionnaires to asses the correct realization and understanding of the laboratory tasks.	10		B3 B4	C87 C88
Group tutoring	A continuous tracking of the design and evolution of the implementation will be held during the realization of the project. Periodically, the students will present the state and results of their projects, as well as the scheduled tasks.	10		B4 B9	C87 C88
Integrated methodologies	The students will be divided in groups for accomplishing the design, implementation and proof of an embedded system. The result will be evaluated after the his delivery, assessing aspects such as correction, quality, performance and functionalities.	30		B3 B4 B9	C87 C88

Other comments on the Evaluation
In order to pass the course it is necessary to complete the different parts of the subject (master sessions, practices in labs, and projects). The final grade will be the weighted geometric mean of the grades of the different parts (i.e. it is not possible to pass the subject with a zero in one part). If "x" is the grade obtained for the master sessions, "y" for the practices in labs, and "z" for the project, the final grade will be: grade = x^0.4y^0.1z^0.5 During the first month, students must declare if they opt for continuous or final assessment. Students who select continuous assessment and submit the first task or questionnaire may not be listed as "Absent". Students who opt for the final assessment procedure must pass the short answer test (40%), submit a project (50%) and submit the laboratory practises (10%). These parts will be evaluated as indicated in the tests description section. The final grade will be the weighted geometric mean of the grades of the different parts. Besides, they must submit an additional dossier with detailed information about the events and issues that arose during the execution of the different tasks, and especially the project. In addition, during the first month of the course, professors will notify students who opted for final assessment if they have to do the tutored work individually. Although the project will be developed in groups, the ongoing activities of each student in a group will be monitored individually. In case a student's performance is below his or her groupmates, he or she could be expelled from the group or graded on a individual basis. Second opportunity to pass the course The end of course exam will only be held by students who failed the end of semester exams. In order to pass the course it is necessary to complete the different parts of the subject: pass the short answer test (40%), submit a project (50%) and submit the laboratory practises (10%). These parts will be evaluated as indicated in the tests description section. The final grade will be the weighted geometric mean of the grades of the different parts. Besides, it will be necessary to submit an additional dossier with detailed information about the events and issues that arose during the execution of the different tasks, and especially the project. Students that have opted by the continuous assessment procedure, can decide to maintain the grades of the parts they have already passed in the first opportunity or discard them. Other comments The grades obtained are only valid for the current academic year. The use of any material during the tests will have to be explicitly authorized.
