Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practises	In the case of continuous assessment, during the designated time for experimental practices the student will answer in writing to some proposed questions. Besides, in any of the three short examinations, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated. In the case a unique evaluation in a final examination, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated.	7		B3 B5	C23 C24 C25	D2 D3
Practice in computer rooms	In the case of continuous assessment, during the designated time for practices the student will answer/solve in writing to some proposed questions/exercises. Besides, in any of the three short examinations, the work performed in the available time for practices may be evaluated. In the case a unique evaluation in a final examination, the work performed during practices may be evaluated.	5		B3 B5	C23 C24 C25
Troubleshooting and / or exercises	There will be three short examinations, each will contain exercises resolution. Moreover, they may contain a set of short questions related to the master sessions or the practices, both experimental or computer aided.	80		B3 B4 B5	C23 C24 C25
Reports / memories of practice	It will be evaluated both the written report (team work) and the team oral presentation of this work. During the oral presentation, the professor will ask questions to each member of the team and will grade his feedback, individually. The grade of this work for each student will be the sum of the written report grade (team grade) plus the grade of his/her oral presentation.	8		B4 B9	C23 C24 C25	D2 D3 D4

Other comments on the Evaluation
A) If the student selects continuous assessment: 1. His/her presence in all scheduled experimental and computer aided practices will be mandatory, as well as his/her presence in all scheduled team meetings. In order that his/herwork as part of the team is evaluated, the corresponding written report and oralpresentation will be mandatory. The maximum grade the student might obtain in theevaluation of all the scheduled practices and team work is 20 % of the totalavailable grade for the course. 2. The rest of the student work will be evaluated by means of three shortexaminations that will contain mainly exercises resolution, but that may also contain short questions. These three short examinations, as a whole, add up to 80% of the total course grade. The First short Examination will take place around the 6th week, and the Second one around the 10th week, term period. Both examinations may last1 hour, and each corresponds to 10% of the total course grade. Before the Second short Examination, the student must send a written communication to the lecturer with his/her decision about the type of evaluation he/she prefers: continuous assessment, or being evaluated only in a Final Examination. The Third short Examination will take place simultaneously with the Final Examination, performed for those students who do not follow continuous assessment. This short examination is the most important one, and it corresponds to a 60 % of the total subject qualification. B) In the case of the students who does not choose continuous assessment, the one Final (extended) Examination corresponds to 100% of the course grade. In this examination it will be evaluated exercises resolution, answers to short questions related to the course theoretical part and experimental and computer/simulator aided practices. The second summons (July): In July the students who have previously failed must perform a similar Final Examination than in option B, with similar characteristics as the ones described previously. In particular, those students who followed continuous assesment in the first summons may opt now between option B and option A. If they choose opt. A, all their grades in the first summons, with respect to the First and Second Examinations, the practices (both experimental and computer aided) and the teamwork will be preserved; hence, it will add up as a whole to 40 % of the total course grade. Besides, these students must solve an examinations similar to the Third one in opt. A (corresponding to 60 % of the total course grade). Before the Final Examination, the student will send a written communication to the course coordinator about his/her decision with respect to the desired type of evaluation (A or B). In case of plagiarism detection in any of the student works/tests, the grade obtained by the student in this course will be a failing grade ( 0 ) and the course professor will communicate this issue to the school Board of Directors so they may take those measures deemed appropriate.
