According to the degree program guidelines, each student will have two assessment opportunities (ordinary and extraordinary) to pass the subject. In the ordinary opportunity, students will have two assessment procedures (continuous and global). Ordinary examDuring the first month, students must declare if they opt for continuous or exam-only assessment. Students who select continuous assessment and submit the first task or lab report can no longer be marked as "Not Present".
Continuous assessmentThe final grade (FG) of the course will be calculated as the weighted geometric mean of the grades obtained in the problem-solving tests (PT), in the practical reports (PR), during the systematic observation (SO) and for the completion of the project (P), according to the following formula: FG = PT^0.3*PR^0.2*SO^0.1*P^0.4. In order to pass the course, FG must be greater than or equal to 5. In addition, as a result of the application of the weighted geometric mean, a score of zero in any component will result in failing the course. Global evaluationStudents who opt for the global assessment procedure, must submit an additional dossier with detailed information about the events and issues that arose during the completion of the different tasks, and especially the mentored work, since it will not be possible to assess systematic observation. In addition, during the first month of the course, professors will notify students if they have to do the mentored work individually or in group. The final grade (FG) of the course will be calculated as the weighted geometric mean of the grades obtained in the problem-solving tests (PT), in the practical reports (PR), in the dossier of task performance (DT) and for the completion of the project (P), according to the following formula: FG = PT^0.3*PR^0.2*DT^0.1*P^0.4. In order to pass the course, FG must be greater than or equal to 5. In addition, as a result of the application of the weighted geometric mean, a score of zero in any component will result in failing the course. Extraordinary examThe assessment system will be the same as that used in the global assessment of the ordinary exam. Students who have opted for the continuous assessment procedure, can decide to maintain the grades of the parts they have already passed in the first call or discard them. End-of-program examThe assessment system will be the same as the global assessment of the ordinary exam. Other commentsThe grades obtained are only valid for the current academic year. Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be monitored continuously. In the case in which the performance of a member of the group would not be adequate compared with the performance of his or her team mates, he or she may be excluded from the group and/or assessed individually. The use of any materials during the tests must be explicitly authorized by the teaching staff. 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 a FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for appropriate academic action. |
