There are two evaluation modes that can be followed un order to passed this subject:

A) Continuous Evaluation Mode .

The final qualification (CF) of the student is determined by adding the points obtained in the final exam (EF) and those obtained by Continuous Evaluation (EC).

Each new enrollment in the course involves resetting the ratings in the continuous evaluation activities obtained in previous courses.

According to the Continuous Assessment Regulations, those students subject to the continuous evaluation mode that take part in any assessable activity included in the Subject Guide, will be considered as "presented" and will be taken into account for the final qualification of the course.

To carry out the different tests considered in the continuous evaluation mode (along the course) students are not allowed to use any kind of equation sheet or complementary document, neiter a calculatior.

These tests may be carried out during any of the course session hours (during classroom, problems or laboratory sessions) without previous notice.

The points achieved by continuous assessment will be valid in the first and the second calls/editions of the course.

B) Non-continuous Evaluation Mode

Those students that have renounced to be evaluated during the course (Continuous Evaluation) using the official procedure established by the Center, will be evaluated in the official dates set in the two calls/editions (same day and time) by a specific assesment.

This specific assessment will take into account all contents (theory, problems and laboratory practices) of the course, and will account for 100% of the maximum score. It will take place as follows:

1.- Written exam (EF), with a weight of 80% of the final qualification, identical to the final exam of all other students that follow the continuous evaluation mode.

2.- A Specific test (EC) , with a weight of 20% of the final qualification. This specific test will include both the contents of laboratory practice and the contents covered during the master sessions of the course. No supporting material will be allowed such as any kind of equation sheet, complementary document,or even a calculator. Any evidence about this specific test will be considered as assessable and it will imply that the student is not eligible for repeating this specific test.

The following qualification criteria apply to the two evaluation modes.

Qualification criteria:

A minimum number of points in the final exam is not required to take into account the points obtained during the course (Continuous Evaluation). In any case, it is necessary to obtain a final qualification greater or equal than 5 points in order to to pass the subject.

In the solutions proposed in the final exam, the students will have to justify or argue all the results that propose. The procedure used by the students during the solution of the differernt problems will also be taken into account.

None of the results obtained by the student will be "understood" by default.

The First Call/Edition: the final qualification is calculated as

CF =0.2·EC+0.8·EF

The Second Call/Ediciton: the final qualification is calculated as

CF =maximum(N1, N2), where

N1 = 0.2·EC + 0.8·EF

N2 = EF

The points obtained for the Continuous Evaluation (EC) during the first call (by any of the two evaulation modes) will also apply for the second call.

A score system from 0 to 10 points will be used (RD 1125/2003 de 5 de septiembre, BOEde 18 de septiembre)

'FINAL DE CARRERA' EXTRAORDINARY EXAM:

They will be able to have a format of distinct examination to the detailed previously. It will consist of a wirtten exam, where students should solve problems and/or answer theoretical questions about the most relevant contents of the course. It will allow students to obtain 100% of the maximum final qualification, being a minimum of 50% required in order to pass the course.

All tests, either during the course (continuous evaluation) or the final exam, must be done wit a pen, preferably blue. The use of a pencil or a red pen is not allowed. The use of electronic devices such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, etc, are also not allowed.

Ethical Comminmnet:

It might have a different format to the formerly detailed one.

In the event that an unethical behavior is detected (copying, plagiarism, unauthorized use of electronic devices, etc.), it will be considered that the student does not meet the necessary requirements to pass the subject. In that case, the overall rating in the current academic year will be 'fail (0.0)'.

The use of any electronic device during the different assesments or tests is not allowed, unless expressly authorized. The fact of introducing such an unauthorized device in the examination room will be considered as a reason for not passing the subject in the current academic year and the overall rating will be 'fail (0.0)'.
