  Description Qualification Training and Learning Results
Laboratory practises Short exercises (partial tests) related to the contents explained during the masterclasses and in the laboratory. The students will do three exercises during A hours. Specifically:
- Exercise #1: week 4 or 5
- Exercise #2: week 8 or 9
- Exercise #3: week 12 or 13

Each exercise will have a weight of 2/30 in the final mark (Total accumulated mark: 3*2/30 = 20%)

Projects Realisation of a practical project in groups, that will be evaluated individually in C hours during the last week of the course.

This is a mandatory activity for both those students who choose to follow the continuous evaluation, and those who do not, yielding in both cases the 40% of the final mark.

Other comments on the Evaluation

For those students that choose continuous evaluation the final note will be obtained as:

Nexercise+Npartials + Nproject + Nexam


where Nexercise denotes the mark corresponding to the solution of proposed problem/s, up to 1 point; Npartials denotes the mark accumulated in the partial tests, up to 2 points; Nproject denotes the mark obtained in the practical project, up to 4 points; and Nexam denotes the mark of the final exam up to 3 points. In order to pass the sbuject, the student has to obtain a minimum mark of 3.5 points (out of 10) in the final exam; if that minimum threshold is not achieved, the final mark of the student will be that obtained in the final exam, although he/she has chosen continuous evaluation.

For those students who did not choose continuous evaluation, the final mark will be obtained as:

Nproject + Nexam

where Nproject denotes the mark obtained in a practical project specifically designed for non-continuous evaluation students, up to 4 points; and Nexam denotes the mark of the final exam up to 6 points. In order to pass the sbuject, the student has to obtain a minimum mark of 3.5 points (out of 10) in the final exam; if that minimum threshold is not achieved, the final mark of the student will be that obtained in the final exam.


The final exam for those students who did not choose continuous evaluation will have an additional exercise in comparison with the exam of those students who chose continuous evaluation.

The student has to choose, after the realisation of the second partial test, if he/she chooses continuous evaluation or not, informing about it to the teacher within the established period of time. Those students who chose continuous evaluation and did not pass the subject will be assigned the qualification "Failed" independently that they present to the final exam or not.

The mark in the partial exams will be considered for the recovery exam, but not for subsequent courses. In recovery exam the students that choose continuous evalution can decide if they want to keep the mark obtained in the partial tests and the homework/s, or if they want to be evaluated just by considering the final exam (with 60% weight) and the project (40%).
