7.1. Ordinary assessment
Two evaluation systems are established:
- Continuous evaluation: for those students who regularly attend the classes and participate in the proposed activities.
- Final exam evaluation: for those students who do not attend the classes regularly and/or do not participate in the proposed activities.
7.1.1. Continuous evaluation
The following table summarizes the continuous evaluation system:
Evaluation system | Percentage | |
1 | Written theoretical and / or practical objective evidences of individual accomplishment (*) | 30 |
2 | Final exam | 45 |
3 | Evaluation of laboratory practices (*) or final exam of laboratory practices | 15 |
4 | Attendace rate and active participation in individual and collective activities during the learning process (*) | 10 |
(*) A minimum of 75% in the attendance and participation of all the activities included in (1), (3) and (4) is established in order to have access to the continuous evaluation system. If this participation is missing, the student will be evaluated by the final global exam. Those students who do not get at least 0.5 point in the evaluation of laboratory practices will have to do the final exam of laboratory practices.
The continuous evaluation comprises the following items:
- Classroom assessment CA, constituted by the grades obtained in (1) and (4) of the previous table: 4 points maximum.
- Laboratory assessment LA, which is the grade obtained in (3): 1.5 points maximum.
- Final assessment FA, corresponding to (2): maximum 8.5 points.
The final grade is calculated by the following formula:
Final grade = CA + FA*(8.5-CA)/8.5+LA
In order to get the subject passed the final grade must be equal or greater than 5 points with the following two conditions:
- FA ≥ 3.0 points, with a minimum of 1 point in both the Questions and Problems sections.
- LA ≥ 0.5 point
7.1.2 Final exam evaluation
Students who are not assessed by continuous assessment may pass the course by taking the final assessment (FA) and laboratory assessment (LA). The final mark will be obtained by adding the mark obtained in the final assessment FA (mark out of 8.5) and the mark obtained in the final laboratory assessment LA (mark out of 1.5), so that:
Final mark = CEF + CL (2)
In order to pass the course, the sum of the final grade must reach a minimum of 50% (final grade ≥ 5 points), with the condition of achieving a minimum of 3.5 points in the final assessment (FA ≥ 3.5 points, with a minimum of 1 points in both the Questions and Problems sections) and a minimum of 0.5 points in the laboratory assessment (LA ≥ 0.5 points).
7.1.3 Differentiated assessment
Students subject to differentiated assessment will be assessed according to the procedure described in section 7.1.2.
Due to the compulsory nature of the laboratory practicals, students subject to differentiated assessment must contact their teacher to arrange for the practicals to be carried out. If students are unable to take the laboratory practicals, they must take the final laboratory exam.
7.2. Extraordinary examination
If the student has been evaluated during the course by the continuous evaluation system, the grade obtained in CA and LA will be preserved. They will have to do the final assessment FA and the grade will be calculated as
Final grade = CA + FA*(8.5-CA)/8.5+LA
If the student has not got at least 0.5 point in the evaluation if the laboratory practices, they will have to do a laboratory assessment in order to get LA ≥ 0.5 point.
If the student has undertaken a final exam evaluation or has been never evaluated before, they will have to do the final assessment (FA) and the laboratory assessment (LA). The final grade will be calculated as:
Final grade = FA+LA
In any case, to get the subject passed the final grade must be equal or greater than 5 points with the following two conditions:
- FA ≥ 3.5 points, with a minimum of 1 point in both the Questions and Problems sections.
- LA ≥ 0.5 point
7.3. Additional considerations and conditions
In case of non-attendance to two laboratory practices, with official note of absence, one resit will be allowed, if personal and equipment are available, not to lose the right to the continuous evaluation.
In the ordinary examination those students who have not done a number of assessments enough to get 5 points will be considered non-presented. In the extraordinary examinations only those students who do the final assessments will be considered presented.
