In order to pass the course it is necessary to complete the different parts of the course (master sessions, practices in labs, and tutored works). 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 tutored works, the final grade will be: FG = x^0.3*y^0.2*z^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 lab report may not be listed as "Not Present". Students that opt by the final assessment procedure, 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 tutored work. In addition, during the first month of the course, professors will notify students if they have to do the tutored work individually, in the case they opt for final assessment. Second opportunity to pass the courseThe course final exam will only be held for students who failed the course in the first oportunity (semester final exam). In order to pass the course it is necessary to complete the different parts of the subject, which will be evaluated as is indicated in the tests description section. 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 tutored work. 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 commentsThe documentation will be in English. The course will be tough in Spanish and Galician (including examns). Hower students will be able to ansewr in English, Spanish or Galician, as they prefer. The grades obtained are only valid for the current academic year. Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be analyzed continuously Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be monitored continuously. In the case in which the performance of a member of the group wouldn't be adequate compared with the performance of his or her team mates, he or she could be excluded from the group and/or qualified individually. The use of any material during the tests will have to be explicitly authorized. In case of detection of plagiarism in any of the tasks/tests done, the final grade will be "failed (0)" and the professors will communicate the incident to the head of the school to take the measures that they consider appropriate. |
