If possible all skills pertaining to this subject will be evaluated in all the various tests and exercises proposed: short answer tests, lab reports, problem solving and projects For those who choose to take the final exam (alternatively to continuous assessment), this will have a weight of 100% of the final grades and will cover all issues dealt with in the theoretical lectures, the problem solving lectures, tutored group work and laboratory. Above the procedure for carrying out the continuous assessment was presented. The final grades will be the result of four equal weight parts, namely - a theoretical test consisting of short questions (25%) to take place during the final exam, - a problem solving test consisting of short numerical calculations (25%) to take place during the final exam, - the completion of the laboratory work and corresponding reports and specific test in the final exam (25%) and - the completion of the proposed tutored group work, its corresponding report and oral presentation (25%) In case a minimum mark was set for any of the parts comprising the overall evaluation and such mark were not achieved, the final grade will be upper bounded by such minimum mark. The grades for the lab. work and group work will only be valid during the current school year. Those students who choose the continuous assessment option shall inform the professor of this during the first few weeks of the school term. The continuous assessment option entails the completion of all activities proposed: lab works and group work, and taking all tests comprising the continuous assessment route. Those students not fulfilling the above will be assessed with the final exam only. A student will be atributed the "no presentado" grade if he or she has not followed the full continuous assessment route and has not taken the final exam. For the retake call (July), the grades obtained in the lab work and group work parts will be kept for those students following the continous assessment route and will only be required to take the theory, problems and lab parts of the new final exam. |
