Continuous assessment (this will be the preferred
assessment system): Consists of various tests to be taken throughout the
teaching period, and a written test to be taken on the official 1st Attempt exam date, as indicated in
the table above, in which the percentage of each test is included in the final
mark. As a summary: - Self-assessment:
20%. - Practical
work and report: 10%. - Presentation
of the project: 40%. - Written
exam: 30%.
- Students who follow the continuous assessment
procedure must compulsorily participate
in all the activities indicated above, and their final grade will be the
sum of the marks obtained in each of the tests, with the weighting indicated in
the table above. In order to pass the continuous assessment of the subject, a
mark equal to or higher than 5 points out of 10 must be obtained.
- In exceptional
cases in which a student is unable to participate in a specific session of
the above activities, the teaching staff will agree with the student on an
alternative activity or test, which will allow him/her to continue with the
development of the subject without prejudice to the evaluation process.
- Students who must sit the second assessment attempt will keep the
grade obtained in the Self-assessment and Practical Reports tests (30%), but
must take a written exam of objective questions that will evaluate the
theoretical contents of the course (30% of the final grade) and carry out the
presentation of the project (40%). The exam will take place on the official
date established by the centre. Global or comprehensive assessment: Students who do not wish to take
part in the continuous assessment procedure must follow the procedure for waiving continuous assessment
established by the management of the IEE, complying with the deadlines set by
the centre. In this case, both in the
first and in the second edition, the assessment will be carried out by
means of a written exam (50% of the final mark), and the defence of a
comprehensive project selected from those proposed by the teaching staff
including analysis, design, manufacturing and characterization of a medical
product (50% of the final mark). The assessment will be carried out on the
official dates established by the centre. In order to pass the overall
assessment, the student must achieve a minimum mark of 5 out of 10. Extraordinary Call: to be held according to the global
assessment system described above, on the date previously set by the centre. Ethical commitment: Students are expected to behave ethically in
accordance with the code of ethics of the University of Vigo and the IEE.
According to article 42.1 of the Regulation on the evaluation, grading and
quality of teaching and the learning process of students at the University of
Vigo, (Approved in closing on 18 April 2023): "Fraudulent performance in
any assessment test will result in a grade of zero (fail) in the minutes of the
corresponding assessment opportunity, regardless of the value that the test in
question has on the overall grade and without prejudice to the possible
consequences of a disciplinary nature that may occur".
