Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Practice in computer rooms	The students will perform laboratory practice where they will work with concepts studied in the theoretical classes. In these laboratory practices the capabilities A76, A77, A3 and A4 will be evaluated.	40
Laboratory practises	Each student will perform field practices. The evaluation will be performed by means of a report for a total weight of 10% of the final mark. In these field practices, the capabilities A76, A77, A3 and A4 will be evaluated.	10
Tutored works	The evaluation of the group work will be taken into account as well as the understanding, maturity, importance and originality of the work and interaction between the group. In these tutored works the capabilities A76, A77, A3 and A4 will be evaluated.	5

Other comments on the Evaluation
At the beginning of the term, the student will choose the assessment methodology: final exam or continuous evaluation. Both, documentation and presentations of this subject will be exclusively in English. English shall be used for writing the reports to evaluate the laboratory practices and the tutored works. The students may use either English, Spanish or Galego to respond the short answer test. The subject will be evaluated through one of the following mechanisms: *Final exam:* The exam will include questions and/or numerical problems related with the contents presented in master sessions, laboratory practices and tutored works. It will be necessary to obtain 5 points over 10 to pass the exam. Continuous evaluation (the students who choose the continuous evaluation method will not be allowed to attend the final exam in the first call). The subject will be assessed throughout the entire term: Laboratory practices: each student will have to perform different tasks with a total weight of 40% of the final mark. Tutored works: each student will participate in different tutored works proposed during the lecture period. This part will be evaluated by written reports. These reports will have a total weight of 5% of the final mark. Outdoor study/field practices: each student will perform field practices. A report must be turned in to get a maximum score of 10% of the final grade. Short answer test: This exam will be the final assessment of the continuous evaluation, and it will have a total weight of 45% of the final mark. Make-up exam (second exam): the student will have to take an exam which will include questions and/or numerical problems related with the contents presented in the master sessions, the laboratory practices and the tutored works (100% of the final mark). Optionally, they could take a partial exam on the contents of the master session (45% of the final mark). All the different grades are only valid for the current course, and will expire after the second call in case someone needs to take the course again.
