Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Research based methodologies	Students will present the results of their research. It may account for up to 15% of the final mark.	15			D3
Laboratory practical	In order to pass the course, students will carry out laboratory tasks, which will be included in the continuous assessment mark. The mark for the practicals may account for up to 15% of the total mark for the subject. The practicals will be assessed by: i) continuous assessment during the practical and presentation of results, and ii) a multiple-choice exam. The completion and passing of the practicals is a prerequisite for passing the course. Duly justified absences will be compensated with alternative tasks.	15	A1	C2	D1 D3 D8
Essay questions exam	There will be an exam that includes questions and exercises. The maximum marks of this part will be 40% of the final total mark. However, a minimum of 5 over 10 has to be reached on the exam to pass the course.	40		C2	D5

Other comments on the Evaluation
The second call assessment system is the same as the first call assessment system, maintaining the grades obtained for research-based methodologies, problem solving and/or exercises and practicals. Assessment dates: The exam calendar officially approved by the Xunta de Centro is published on the website: http://aero.uvigo.es/gl/docencia/exames The laboratory practicals must have been completed in order to be able to sit the second call exam. Students who are unable to attend classes must inform the teacher. In this case, the exam will count for 85% of the mark and the practicals for 15%. In summary: The breakdown of the total mark for the subject is as follows: - Exam: up to 40%. It is necessary to get a 5 out of 10 in the exam to pass the subject. - Self-assessment test: up to 10%. - Laboratory practicals: up to 15%. It is compulsory to pass the practicals in order to pass the subject. - Research work: up to 15%. -Evaluation test of problems and/or exercises: up to 20%. The breakdown of the total mark for students who do not opt for continuous assessment is as follows: - Examination/exams: up to 85%, a minimum of 5 out of 10 must be obtained to pass the course. - Laboratory practicals: up to 15%. It is compulsory to pass the practicals in order to pass the subject. VERY IMPORTANT: In order to add up all the percentages, the student must get at least 5 out of 10 on the exam mark. If the student scores below 5 on the exam, the mark recorded will be the exam mark. The duration of the final exam will be approximately 2.5 hours. In the event that the student obtains 50% or more of the mark on the problem solving and/or exercise-based test, he/she will only need to score a minimum of 4 out of 10 on the final exam to have all the percentages count towards their grade. If the student scores below a 4 on the final exam, the mark recorded will be the final exam mark. Students who fail the first call exam and do not attend class will have the option of taking the second call exam covering the entire content of the subject, provided that they have completed the laboratory practicals. In special cases where students cannot attend the practicals or take part in the continuous assessment for justified and previously notified reasons, 100% of the mark will be based on a final exam that assesses all the competences of the course. Final exam: Students who choose to take the final exam will be assessed only on the basis of their final exam (which will be worth 100% of the mark). If they do not attend the exam, or do not pass it, they will be assessed in the same way as the rest of the students. If plagiarism is detected on any of the tests, the final mark will be SUSPENSO (or "FAIL") (0) and the incident will be reported to the school's administrators for appropriate follow-up actions. Exam-only assessment: The student has the right to opt for the exam-only assessment according to the procedures and the deadlines established by the centre for each call.
