1. Continuous assessment

The course can be
passed with full marks from continuous assessment, with no need to sit the
final exam. Students who assist to more than 2 laboratory sessions may not be listed
as "Not Present".

The weighting and
content of each continuous assessment part are as follows:

1.1 Test (NTest):

• It covers all of the contents taught in the
  theoretical classes.
• The estimated date will be the 11th week of the
  course.
• The student pass this part if he/she gets a mark
  greater than or equal to 5.

1.2 Laboratory practices (NPrac):

• The student should complete 6 of the 7 sessions
  in order to pass this part.
• The student should correctly implement the
  circuits described in the guidelines of the practice and submit a report
  corresponding to each laboratory session. The qualification of each practice
  depends on these achievements.
• It can be developed individually or by groups of
  2 students.
• The student will pass this part if he/she gets an
  average greater than or equal to 5. The weighting of each practice is the
  same to obtain the NPrac mark.

1.3 Project (NPro):

• It can be developed individually or by groups of
  2 students.
• It should be oral presented by the authors.
• The student will pass this part if he/she gets a
  mark greater than or equal to 5.

1.4 Final qualification of continuous assessment
(Final_ca)

The final qualification (Final_ca) of continuous assessment is obtained as
follows:

Final_ca: = (NTest*0.3 + NPrac*0.3 + NPro*0.4) if NTest is greater than or equal to 5
and NPrac is greater than or equal to 5 and NPro is greater than or equal to 5;

Final_ca = min [(NTest*0.3 + NPrac*0.3 + NPro*0.4), 4] in other case;

The student who fails one or more of the parts of continuous assessment has
another opportunity to pass any part in the Final exam:

• He/she can
  repeat the test and this mark replaces the previous one (NTest).
• He/she student can improve
  his/her Laboratory mark (NPrac) by means of an exam. This exam consists of
  several problems related to the contents of laboratory practices.
• He/shet can
  complete and present his/her project before the date of the final exam.
  
  

2. Final exam
and qualification

There is a final exam at the end of each quadmester.

• In the final exam, all content is evaluated. It usually
  consists of several questions and problems and lasts about 2.5 hours. The
  pass mark for this exam is 5 out of 10 and deserves 60% of the final qualification (NEx).
• In order to pass the subject the students should
  present a project with the same objectives and complexity of the project developed
  in continuous assessment. This project deserves 40% of the final
  qualification (NPro) and should be presented before the date of the final
  exam.

The final qualification (Final_ex) is obtained as follows:

Final_ex = (NEx*0.6 + NPro*0.4) if NEx is greater than or equal to 5 and NPro is greater than or equal to 5;

Final_ex = min [(NEx*0.6 + NPro*0.4) , 4] in other case;

3. Other
comments

• The grades obtained from the continuous assessment
  and final exams are only valid for the current academic
  year.
• The use of books, notes or electronic devices such as phones or
  computers is not permitted in any test or exam. Mobile phones must be
  turned off and out of reach of the student.
