Two different methods of evaluation will be offered to the students: continuous assessment and eventual assessment.

Students opting for the continuous assessment must take two intermediate tasks: a midterm exam (20% of the final grade) and a project involving the configuration of a basic IP PBX (20% of the final grade), together with a final exam at the end of the course (60% of the final grade). If the score of the final exam is less than 3.5/10, then the final grade of the subject will be the score obtained in this final exam. The score of the project will take into account both the features and performance of the IP PBX configured (75%) and the answers to a practical exam that must be solved individually (25%). Both intermediate tasks are not recoverable and will be only valid for the current course.

Students can also opt for being evaluated by means of just a final exam at the end of the course. The final grade of the subject will be, in this case, just the score obtained in this exam.

It will be considered that a student opts for the continuous assessment if he takes the midterm exam or the project proposed. The final exam will contain some additional questions for those students that have opted by the eventual assessment.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of
plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade
will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding
academic authorities for prosecution.

Those students that have not passed the subject in first call will have to take an extra written exam in July. Those students that opted for the continuous assessment will be able to choose between evaluation by means of just the final exam or to keep continuous assessment. In the latter case they would keep the scores obtained in the intermediate tasks (midterm exam and project) and would only have to take the final exam as the last task. Students must indicate which method they choose at the final exam.

In extraordinary calls the assessment will just consist in the realisation of a written exam including ALL the contents of the subject.

The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the
Comisión Académica de Grado (CAG) and will be available at the beginning
of each academic semester.
